Storytelling For Brands in a Social World

Ready to take your marketing game to the next level?

Today I wanted to talk about a common problem facing many entrepreneurs- creating quality content that captivates your audience and drives results!

Storytelling

Your audience wants to know you and your brand!

Gone are the days of faceless marketing and blanket advertising. Stories have a innate ability to capture attention, create an emotional response and build connections that leave a lasting impression on your clients.

Steps you can take to change your marketing in 2023:

Get to know your audience:
Take time to understand your target market- their needs, struggles, desires and aspirations. Identify thier needs and craft stories that resonate with them on a profound level.

Get their attention:

Grab their attention as soon as you start. Create a compelling opening that makes them want to keep watching. Focus on human curiosity and common passions that will hook your audience, encouraging them to follow you for future content and dig into past content.

Relatability:

Focus on the people and situations that arise in your day to day business life. Creating relatable content will help you connect with your audience on a higher level. They will connect with your brand and learn to trust your expertise.

Emotion:

Creating content that stirs emotion is a great way to get people commenting in your posts. Emotion is what takes storytelling to the next level. By evoking feelings of joy, inspiration, or nostalgia you can further reinforce your connection, if done correctly and authentically.

“Show, don’t tell”:

Don’t bombard your audience with bland facts and figures, illustrate your message. Make it interesting! Paint vivid pictures, share personal experiences, let your audience experience your brand’s journey and successes.

I say successes because though you might want to share the story of your struggles and doubts, this will only attract an audience of professionals who are going through the same thing. (Side note: If that’s your thing go for it!)

Be your authentic self:

Be genuine and true to your brand’s voice. Authenticity builds trust and credibility, which helps build and audience more likely to share your brand with others. Never lie to your clients, that serves no one, you want to give value and receive value in return. Treat everyone as you would want to be treated.

Call to action:

Don’t forget to include a clear call to action at the end of your story! Encourage your audience to take the next step, whether it’s engaging with your content, social media accounts, visiting your website or making a purchase. :)

Let’s recap, know your audience, create a story that will get their attention, create relatability and emotion. Create visual content to illustrate your brands journey, while being your authentic self and leave your audience with a call to action!

Remember, great storytelling doesn’t happen overnight. Practice, learn, experiment and fine-tune your content to discover what resonates best with your audience.
