Attitudes, Behaviours and Storytelling. Social science and twenty-first century ideas.

 

Another interesting video from "Power to the Pixel" 2012 about the presentation of Wayne Fletcher*.

 

Among the topics covered:

- storytelling from the audience's perspective

- how should we think about innovation

- people and innovations, people and storytelling

 

Excerpts:

 

"If we want to be successful, innovators or communicators in the twenty-first century we need to think very carefully, very closely to the motivations that people have to consume."

 

"If you understand the internal and external structure that govern certain action you're more likely to be able to influence those actions in the future.

 

I think the same applies in communication and in storytelling: if you understand the motivation the people have to consume certain types of entertainment and media then you're more likely to be able to produce content and media that people want to consume and share."

What is the role of storytelling in PR?

Are you sitting comfortably? Then listen to PR leaders discussing the power of storytelling to build brands and energise businesses (Interesting read "@ThePRCoach: Good read: What is the role of #storytelling in #PR?

 

I love this post that reminds us all about the power of storytelling for businesses. Here Public Relations leaders share with us how stories are critical to use in business for branding and building a strong customer base.

 

Stories are everywhere, but the real trick is the following, says Tom Watson, professor of public relations at Bournemouth University: “For brand communicators, the challenge is to create narratives that are deserving of trust by their target markets and sustainable over time."


I also like what Kevin Murray, chairman of PR agency the Good Relations Group, says: “I use stories to entertain people at dinner parties to amuse. But in business you need to tell stories that make a difference.” Good point! 

 

Go read what the PR professionals in the article have to say. There are great insights.

I love this piece! Thank you fellow curator Jeff Domansky @PR Coach for finding and sharing this. 


Why do I like it so much? Because even with biz stories we often get too wordy, complicated, and detailed.


So this article is a reminder to Keep It Simple Sweetie (KISS). Here's what the author, Jim Hoffman says at the end of the article: "There is an elegance in simplicity.  Simplicity does not mean removing features, benefits, or services from your product.  It means distilling what's most important about those features, and explaining them in the fewest words possible.  Go ahead, write yours down, and get busy crossing things out." 


That's the essence of great biz storytelling -- finding your key message / most pimportant point that is short, sweet and to the the point. Once you have your key message, extraneous details fall away and you are left with a crisp elegant story.


Read more about how to go for simplicity.
