7 Examples of Storytelling Content You Can Use in Your Marketing Campaigns
Successful businesses are built on effective stories. People love to see, read or hear stories because it creates a human connection based on empathy.
The best marketers in the world leverage the power of storytelling to improve branding and conversion rates. What do stories have to do with marketing? Well, people remember stories 22x more than facts and figures alone and, thus, storytelling can boost conversion rates by a significant 30%. In fact, Neil Patel has said that “62% of B2B marketers rated storytelling as an effective content marketing tactic”:
What Is Storytelling?
A story is an “account of imaginary or real people and events told for entertainment,” and storytelling is simply the art of sharing a message in the form of a story.
The teller conveys a message in order to connect with other people (in this case, the target audience). The message includes a protagonist plus a number of other characters, a central plot, some conflicts or obstacles, a theme (one idea that recurs throughout) and a narrative arc. If you think about classic fairy tales, they were magical tales that embodied all these points and always sought to teach the reader or listener (often children) a lesson.
So in summary, a good story should be:
Contagious
Easy to understand
Emotive
Believable (unless it's a fairy tale or a Quentin Tarantino film)
Useful
Inspiring
Inclusive
In the words of the National Storytelling Network:
“Storytelling is an ancient art form and a valuable form of human expression…. [It] is the interactive art of using words and actions to reveal the elements and images of a story while encouraging the listener’s imagination.”
