Emotional Storytelling Drives Behavior Change

Emotional Storytelling Drives Behavior Change | Story and Narrative | Scoop.it
From www.holmesreport.com - September 26, 2012 3:52 PM

Public relations people need to harness the power of storytelling to drive behavioral change, Marion McDonald, managing director of strategy and planning at Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide, told a ThinkTank Live seminar in Hong Kong on “The Age of Engagement.”

 

“Science shows that humans organize experiences into stories,” says McDonald. “And we categorize them based on our emotional reactions to those stories. And science has shown that it’s the emotional part of the brain that helps us make decision. So when we appeal to people through facts and reason we’re missing the point. We need to reach them through emotion, and to do that we need to tell stories.”

This article is full of wonderful tips for taking your curation to the next level and embellish your original content.

 

"Content curation rewards are not limited to branding and SEO; it can also enhance the visibility and the quality of your own content."

 

There are many things that caught my attention, here are just a few gems:

 

Curated Content Can Inspire Topics For Created Content

 

If you don't master this one, all the other tips won't make any sense

 

****Understand which topics are irresistible to your target audience

 

My Commentary:

 

I love this one!

 

Here's the tip

 

****Instead of taking the easy route of sharing the topic with your audience, write a blog post to "build on" it.

 

You can build on a topic in different ways:

 

**Beg to differ politely

 

**Provide additional tips and insights

 

**Ask clarifying question(s)

 

My Commentary:

 

This is a great way to add "context" it can start conversations, which invites others to add their comments, bring new observations and more information about a particular topic.

 

**A perfect segue to building relationships, community, doing business and increasing knowledge.

This has me thinking critically about how we are integrating social media. Inviting interaction has been a huge challenge. We are stimulating new conversations in real world time, but that's not reflected in comments and so forth. I like using Scoop.It widgets to get the newest scoop onto the bog in a timely manner and take some time to reflect on post content.
