Who I am: The most traditional form of brand-to-costumer communication, brands simply and rapidly communicate their existence. (All are the same, but I am different) Why Im here: These stories help forge a link between a brand and a particular time, place, service, mindset or need. (All do the same business, but I am special) I have a dream: These stories seek to inspire an audience with a vision of how the world or a category should behave. Successful visions are simple, well defined and bought into by consumers. (And this will change the world.) I know what youre thinking: Brands that are never shy of drawing attention to the elephant in the room and tackling it head on. (No one tells the truth, but I do.)* Ill show you how: Brands often use teaching stories either to demonstrate a product benefit or feature or to drive behavioural change to ensure consumers rapidly understand what they offer. (And this will solve your problem.) I back you up: These stories disrupt normal corporate storytelling. The brand is stepping back and behind the consumer who is featured as a hero. The brand is supporting whatever a consumer is doing. (Its not about me, its about you.) *Quotes from: http://buzzdriverstories.wordpress.com 26. 26 | Corporation / Product / Brand Information (News / Product Features ) Impact (Benefit / Reason Why) 2.
