Storytelling framework in action

Regardless of the story you’re trying to tell and how you’re trying to tell it, storytelling has three essential elements:

  • Characters
  • Conflict
  • Resolution

Choose one of your favorite brands, and tell their business's story by answering the below questions.

  • Who is the brand?
  • Who is their audience?
  • What challenge are they helping their audience to overcome? How are they doing it?

*To learn more about this, check out The Power of Storytelling lesson via HubSpot Academy.

  • Who is the brand? Glossier
  • Who is their audience? Women who value their personal beauty 
  • What challenge are they helping their audience to overcome? How are they doing it?

challenge is that these days the makeup industry pushes so many products with superficial messages that women lose the value of their own natural beauty and skin. Glossier emphasizes authenticity, personal beauty, and allowing room for conversation about the personal process of beauty. Glossier has a blog, many pictures of real people with their products, and phrases like "skin first" and "beauty inspired by real life" all over their website.
