to problems?• Where do we find them?• How can we reach them?• What phrases do they use?• What sort of images and multimedia
appeal to them?

Andrew weiss
“People love hearing stories. It goes back to primitive tribal times when we used to sit around the campfire. With social media, consumers are in full control the whole time. If you’re not captivating, you can lose them at anytime.”
![Page 19: Session 3: Understanding the Importance of Audience & Storytelling](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052522/549a493bb479594f138b45ee/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
If you have one story to tell...
WHAT WOULD IT BE?
![Page 20: Session 3: Understanding the Importance of Audience & Storytelling](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052522/549a493bb479594f138b45ee/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
How to get the stories?
• How did your company get started?• How did you survive the toughest of times?• Who are some key customers you’ve had?• What kinds of funny or interesting things have
happened involving customers or staff over the years?
• What employees’ lives have been changed as a result of working for you?
• What charitable organizations has your company or its staff supported?
![Page 21: Session 3: Understanding the Importance of Audience & Storytelling](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052522/549a493bb479594f138b45ee/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
About stories
• They humanize brands and make them talkable, online and offline
• They can be told with text but are often best told through pictures and videos.
• They can be told by customers, employees, or management – they just need to be authentic.
![Page 22: Session 3: Understanding the Importance of Audience & Storytelling](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052522/549a493bb479594f138b45ee/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
How you started
No matter how large it is now, when it started, it was just the founder(s) with a dream and a plan.
• Connect through real, humble stories• Keep people from seeing the company as
a faceless giant.
![Page 23: Session 3: Understanding the Importance of Audience & Storytelling](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052522/549a493bb479594f138b45ee/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
What you do for your customers• Less about you, more about your
customers– Emotional experiences– Benefits – Growth– Meaningful relationships– Inspiring experiences
• Whatever your company does or sells, it solves people’s problems
![Page 24: Session 3: Understanding the Importance of Audience & Storytelling](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052522/549a493bb479594f138b45ee/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The key staff
• Bring out the faces behind your company’s success– Senior management team– Aspiring staff– Staff who juggles works– Staff who always smiles no matter what
• Pictures say a thousand words (and videos even more!)
![Page 25: Session 3: Understanding the Importance of Audience & Storytelling](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052522/549a493bb479594f138b45ee/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
What if I still don’t have any story?
• E.g. highly regulated industry (financial or pharmaceutical)
• Highly sensitive & confidential industry (national research, security)
Talk about your activities & partnerships that are core to the customer experience.

Harness the power of inspiration• There’s nothing new about the power
of inspiration except the channel.• Social media just allows those stories
to spread faster and farther than ever before.

Building word of mouth

customers, but the most passionate– People sharing stories will inspire others
