BRAND
 NARRATIVES
        =
BRAND + NARRATIVES
WHAT IS A BRAND?




Brand is a name, term, sign, symbol, or
  design, or combination of them that
   identifies one product, service or
       experience from another.
BRANDS ARE EVERYWHERE!
WHAT IS A NARRATIVE?

 A          B            C

A narrative is a sequence of
  non-randomly connected
           events
Whenever you say
or think something
  about a certain
time or place, you
   are creating a
     narrative
          According to Narrative: a critical
           linguistic introduction, page viii
NARRATIVES ARE
EVERYWHERE!
CHARACTERISTICS OF A
     NARRATIVE
• Artificial fabrication
• Prefabrication
• Trajectory with a focus on its closure
  or resolution
• Speaker and listener
• Listener must perceive it to be a
  narrative
                       According to Narrative: a critical
                      linguistic introduction, pages 4-6
Narratology, the
study of narrative,
  has its roots in
  literary prose.
COMPONENTS OF A NARRATIVE



   Plot      Characters   Setting



               Human
  Conflict                Message
              interest
AN ANALYSIS OF
BRAND NARRATIVES
    THROUGH
We met Harry and his friends in 1997,
when Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s
Stone was released. This was the first of
 seven novels written by J.K. Rowling.
CONTROL OF THE NARRATIVE

   Every experience of the Harry
  Potter brand was a reiteration of
J.K. Rowling’s original seven books.
   No additions were made to the
    narrative. There are no new
      characters, storylines or
             revelations.
UNTIL
Pottermore is the new online space for the
  wizarding world of Harry Potter from J.K.
Rowling, where fans can experience the story
             like never before.
“Pottermore is a unique online reading
    experience from J.K. Rowling, built
  around the Harry Potter books. Share
 and participate in the stories, showcase
 your own Potter-related creativity, and
discover additional information about the
   world of Harry Potter from the author
                  herself.”
                 Via http://www.pottermore.com/en/about
This sounds a lot like
 TRANSMEDIA
WHAT ARE THE EXPERTS SAYING?

   “Pottermore brings the Harry Potter
     brand from its basis in being a
  repurposed or repeated story world,
  into being a true transmedia brand.”
                        -Jeff Gomez, transmedia expert



  “This may be the most highly visible
      transmedia project to date”
                      - Henry Jenkins, Professor at USC
TRANSMEDIA
   NARRATIVE
IS THE FUTURE OF
  CONTENT-BASED
      BRANDS
