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.

WILD STONE FRAGNENCE COMMERCIAL

Age Group starts from teenage to forties.

Its quite natural in India that a Boys or Men stares/glares confidently at the opposite **bleep**(Girls or Women) in public places. However, this commercial breaks that taboo. Here a woman confidently appoarches a table and displaces a flower vase  to make an eye contact to a men directly from her seat while sitting beside a senior.

This commercial simply braks the stereotypes.

As I anticipated performing this exercise before I knew the specifics of what the exercise was about, I already had a brand in mind - my own brand, Bredemarket

 

I provide marketing and writing services to business clients. To improve my created client collateral, and to differentiate myself from other service providers, I developed a "kickoff" document last September to use in my initial client meetings. Before talking about the nuts and bolts of the content, my first three questions were as follows:

  • What is the goal of the content?
  • What are the benefits of the product or service highlighted in the content?
  • What is the target audience for the content?

While these initial questions are better than just launching into the "what are the facts of the case study?" type questions, I could improve them to provide even greater benefits to my clients and myself. 

 

This morning, while completing the initial lessons in this course, I paused the video, opened up my kickoff document, and made an important revision: including Simon Synek's "Golden Circle" questions before asking about goal/benefits/target audience.

 

Yes, I will now start my client kickoff sessions by asking my client about the client's business itself: why, how, and what.

 

Of course, now that I've modified my form, there are three things that I need to do:

  1. Test the new form out in a future client engagement.
  2. Modify the portions of my website that talk about goals, benefits, and target audience to also talk about why, how, and what.
  3. Repurpose this HubSpot reply as a blog post on the Bredemarket blog, and possibly in other forms.
