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?

Brand - Coca Cola

Audience - Young people and families
Challenges - Staying connected with loved ones, expressing feelings and emotions
Solutions - Coca-Cola positions itself as the link that connects the gaps (communication, emotional) between people. People often struggle when it comes to building open and authentic connections with those who are outside their inner circle. Coca-Cola addressed this conflict with their 'Share a Cooke' campaign which produced Coke bottles with popular names printed on their labels. So, the consumer can make a bottle of Coke a reason to spark a conversation with someone and enjoy shared moments of happiness with each other. Coca-Cola Christmas commercial 2020 illustrates how it plays the part in making a girl's Christmas wish of spending the holidays with her father a reality. And the Christmas commercial of the following year focuses on how Coca-Cola brings an entire community together to celebrate Christmas.
Coca-Cola consistently narrates how they bring people together. They create conflicts surrounding connections, relationships, sharing happiness, understanding, and friendship, and ultimately conclude each story by showing how a bottle of Coca-Cola can change the lives of people and bring that spark of happiness and intimacy.

  1. Nike
  2. young african americans
  3. personally i woundnt say the brand solves a challenge but they invest in a lot of youth programes and advertisments targeted at the young focusing on the egotistic part of the brain. they advertise their shoes in a way that makes you feel good about yourself if you have one and simultaneously makes you feel like an outcast if you dont own a pair

I will tell my own business story.  I'm running a small retail businees ( Pro Hardware Tools)

Here Brand is Pro Hardware Tools and the audience I used is a second audience (you).

The conflict that they were facing was there was one only brand in my competition in my region. They were charging very high for their products and services. The audience has no other option and then Pro Hardware Tools started their operations in that area and offered their business activities at very reasonable prices. Now, the brand has grown very much and their market shares are still growing.

Who is the brand:

Embedded Tutoring Program for community college

Who is their audience:

Students who have issues with hard passing classes. Faculty who want to help their students to improve their results.

What challenges are they helping their audience to overcome? How are they doing it?

The main challenge is the need for accessible tutoring support for the courses. Building cooperative relationships between the faculty, tutor, and embedded tutor support specialist (tutor or academic coach) is extremely important. The possibility of offering inbuilt student support for the hard-passing course is the goal of the program.

Brand (not necessarily a favorite but a good one): Morgan Wallen

Audience: Country listeners and blue-collar, small townspeople

Challenge they are overcoming: The particular artist's brand allows for people to relate to the lyrics and the story he is creating about working, relationships, and falling short. The music can provide a soundtrack for people who are in situations such as what he is singing about, which shows empathy from him to his listeners.

Who is the brand?

       Brand: Sabhyata

Who is their audience?

      Audience: Millennials and Gen Z women across ages 

What challenge are they helping their audience to overcome?

      Challenge: Changing the perception of ethnic wear in formal environment. there is a need to debunk the myth that formal means suits and skirts for women in a workplace. You need to dress like that to be taken seriously by others.

 

How are they doing it?

      Resolution:  They are leading by example. One of their recent ad campaign showcased a CEO interviewing a prospective candidate , also a woman, who fails to realise the inteviewer's designation because of how comfortably she was dressed. Normally we picture a CEO or founder at workplace in power suits or formal attire. This ad was an attempt to normalise ethnic in workplaces. You can be your best and inspire others and you do not need to confer to societal norms to do so.

Notion

 

Who is their audience?

People who want to organise their life digitally and who like customisation.

 

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

All other planning and note taking platforms are very limited in their customization. Therefore, you are stuck in their templates. Notion gives you the freedom and the tools to create your personalised digital planner.
