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.

Brand: Levelten

 

Audience: Expats that came to Zurich because of their new job, a spouse, or because they want to experiment life in another country

 

Challenges they are helping the audience overcome: In Switzerland, even though the official language is german, the Swiss dialect ( and what people speak) is Swiss-German. Teachers from Levelten help expats the swiss -german language so they can better understand /communicate in social situations ( office, supermarkets, etc). They enhance the Zurich feeling and promote inclusion.

Brand: Blackcraft Cult Clothing

Audience: People from Late Teens to early ’30s, all genders and races with special efforts to be LGBTQI+ inclusive. The products are specifically aimed at people that are either atheist, agnostic, pagan, occult, and/or anti-organized religion with a further emphasis on Heavy Metal and Gothic subcultures as well as fans of the supernatural and horror genre.

 

Challenge: 

The products are too one-dimensional in terms of design. There is too much focus on black and white prints, with a lot of overlapping images and phrases used multiple times on multiple products which get repetitive. Because of this, and a large number of products available, this discourages people from exploring the full product range.

 

Solution: New products launched more often in smaller batches. Have unique online exclusives to promote more traffic to the site. Redesign older items or remove them completely, especially the ones that have been there since the beginning, despite them being “classics”. A condensed website with items grouped together as opposed to one large section with multiple pages to click through will make the site easier to navigate. Dropping prices on older items in order to move old stock faster.
