Dealing with Internet fragmentation: The power of storytelling for brands

Dealing with Internet fragmentation: The power of storytelling for brands | Just Story It | Scoop.it

2012 Global Players takes a look back at how corporate websites have evolved over the past year, to uncover why today it’s imperative for businesses to invest more time, imagination and resources in creating a corporate narrative.


Now here's an interesting article! The material that peeked my interest the most dealt with how the Internet creates fragmented stories which leads to businesses losing control over their narrative.


But then the article goes on to suggest that the typical ways companies create their websites does not work anymore in this fragmented environment.


Then the authors offer a link to a free downloadable study that show what companies can do to combat this fragmentation, develop and share their narrative, and succeed in today's Internet world -- with examples!


I checked out the study and it looks really good. I think as I study it I'll get lots of ideas for re-tooling the website which is going under another iteration of improvements.


I bet you will learn a lot too!

"So where do maps fit in the storytelling realm? I recently spoke with Allen Carroll, who left National Geographic about a year ago and is now ArcGIS Online Content Program Manager at Esri, about Story Maps—a new initiative he’s working on with David Asbury, Lee Bock, and Stephen Sylvia to integrate storytelling and maps."


Can you tell stories with maps? Yes you can!


OK -- I love maps. I'm a geographer at heart. I love reading them and finding all the tiniest back roads to travel.


Here is a terrific interview with Exec. VP & Chief Cartographer at National Geographic Maps about their story and map initiative. He explains what they are doing and how storytelling through maps can happen. It is another creative twist on visual storytelling and infographics.


Even better, check out this link for actual examples: http://storymaps.esri.com/home/ 


Is it classic traditional storytelling? Well.....it's kind of borderline. But does it work? Oftentimes yes.


Now what the heck can this do for a business? Well, think about your biz stories and how they could be charted on a map. Add a map to your About Page to visually represent your journey. Add a map to your Founding Story so we can see it visually.


I bet you will come up with several more ideas!


Go read the article and check out the examples and let me know which ones you like best :)
