LOL -- I am laughing and now have today's ear worm to deal with from the song on this video!


What an ingenious 3 minute video. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9S267XXvuo


Now the point I really like that Gabrielle Dolan, the author of this blog post makes, is this: the transporation authority spent the bulk of the time in this video building an emotional connection to the audience before it ever delivers its message. 


And that is exactly what we should be doing with our biz storytelling, as Dolin also says. I agree.


While the video isn't a story, it does contain a great lesson for us all as we continue to hone our storytelling skills.


Enjoy the video!
