27. WHY STORY MATTERS
It's the currency everyone is trading on
When story is strong people naturally
want to be a part of it
When the story is confusing or lacking emotion,
people will stand on the sidelines
Storytelling becomes an invitation into relationship

28. STORY IS THE MISSING LINK
BETWEEN
INNOVATION AND MARKETING
INNOVATION DOESN'T HAPPEN IN A VACUUM, IT MUST BE:
● COMMUNICATED THROUGH A STRATEGIC STORY PEOPLE CAN
IDENTIFY WITH
● MAPPED TO YOUR PAST (ORIGINS), PRESENT (VALUES) AND
FUTURE (ASPIRATIONS)
● ALIGNED TO NEEDS OF YOUR AUDIENCE AND THEIR EVOLVING
IDENTITY

29. WHY MOST INNOVATIONS FAIL
● Your audience can't find themselves in the story
● Drive for your brand's self-validation hijacks the authentic
storyline
● There is no story alignment at the leadership of the company
● Critical dimension of culture and identity are underestimated
● Change is framed as a judgement and repudiation of the past
● Promises are not translated into the right experiences, rituals and
habits

own story before I could listen to
