Oreo image goes viral, offering lessons in branding & visual storytelling

Oreo image goes viral, offering lessons in branding & visual storytelling | Just Story It | Scoop.it
To mark its 100th anniversary, Oreo is posting an image a day for 100 days. A recent picture marking the Mars Rover landing achieved viral gold. Here are the takeaways.


Now here's an article that should get your creative juices flowing! Got an image for your company that you can alter to link to world events or commemorative days?


That is what Oreo has done for its cookie. The photo here commemorates the Mars Rover landing (the red planet). Ingenious! This article by Michael Sebastian explains how Oreo keeps playing with its cookie to make it  immediately relevant. It's fun. It's play. The photos go viral.


Is this storytelling? Not in the classical sense. It is a visual story trigger -- which can be very effective.


Surely you can do something like this! Think about it .....  :))

William Ury: The walk from "no" to "yes" ... The role of narrative | Video on TED.com

TED Talks William Ury, author of "Getting to Yes," offers an elegant, simple (but not easy) way to create agreement in even the most difficult situations -- from family conflict to, perhaps, the Middle East.


How do you end war and conflict? By finding a different story to share.


While this is not about business storytelling per se, it is a fabulous and inspiring video on the power of a story. Perfect for a little weekend inspiration.


Story sharing has been recognized as one of the most effective tools in peace and justice work.


William Ury talks here about his work negotiating peace in world conflicts and how choosing a different story can make all the difference in the world.


If Ury can do this on a global scale, surely we can take lessons here and apply it to our organizational conflicts, and conflicts in our personal lives.


May this video inspire you to new heights in your storytelling.
