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.

One of my favorite brands is Under Armour. Their audience is people who love sports. Under Armour aims to use technology to make these hardworking people more professional in sports. They helped the audience overcome the challenge of cotton sports T-shirts soaking in sweat after exercise. With the slogan "cotton is our enemy," they have designed tracksuits made of polyester and nylon, which provide good protection and effort during exercise.

my beloved brand is Nike

They usually used second POV through their social AWO content, they build up their brand by the empathy and deep understand customer tension, Typically, they have a campaign named: "Yesterday you said tomorrow", this campaign talk about the delay mind of people, and it cause the argument on social media, it also reflect the product role in this campaign ( nike product is sport stuffs, which attach with the active, anti delay) or it is also regard as a solution for this argument they cause.

- MUJI

- People looking for low-cost quality products

- They are helping their audience to overcome the dissatisfaction of the feeling 'This is what I really want' and instead develop a sense of 'This will do' when they make a purchase. They have done this by producing products with simple materials without any additional process such as bleaching, to promote the simplicity and 'emptiness' of their product, that willl embrace the thoughts and emotions of the customers.

On weekdays, my life oscillates between two places - work and home. Life's good, but repeating this pattern makes it banal, boring. On those occasions, I fancy a third place with a colleague or a friend or sometimes all my myself. A place which is nearby, welcoming and comforting. I see all sorts of people here. Somebody is here for a casual hangout or a date, whereas somebody else for an online meeting. Somebody is there just for the love of coffee while someone is there just for the free wifi! But everybody there is at a place that adds an essence to their day, a fresh, aromatic one! A place which cures the banality of the day and resets you for life, a place that you fall in love with, Starbucks.

Who is the brand?

The Bay (Hudson's Bay Company) is North America's oldest start-up and Canada's purpose-driven digital marketplace. They strive to represent Canadians with their quote "Live a Colourful Life".

Who is their audience?

Our diversity as being Canadians where the company promotes to "Live a Colourful Life." I would say that the audience is Canadians who accept the differences among its people. The company shows that it represents different ethnicities, gender, status in life.

What challenge are they helping their audience overcome? How are they doing it?

The Bay helps their audience overcome the assumption that luxury is only for the "rich". As the company is a high-end company, it also encourages every person from different walks of life that they should buy from The Bay through their quote "Live a Colourful Life".

The brand " Old Spice THE MAN YOUR MAN COULD SMELL LIKE"

Its actually fascinating that their target audience are ladies or new audience instead of calling out to men. Its a perfume that's associated with older generation but is appealing to younger generation, because they have quoted it vey well “Anything is possible when you smell like a man and not a lady.” I mean they are playing with the emotions of man and feelings of ladies vey well. They know why and who to attract without any over committment.

Logitech targets consumers of computing peripherals they focus on durable cheap office and home equipment but also cater to high-end clients who want technologically advanced devices to perform specific tasks. their audience is office managers, SOHO workers, gamers, scholars, and computing specialists.

Logitec provides reliable and durable devices, their entry-level product offerings are simple and cheap but also become more complex and expensive according to consumer demands. They provide products that last and don't need to be replaced but also solve specific computing needs. For example, a mouse that can be used on two devices at the same time.
