WELCOME
“When an audience listens to stories of
ordinary people called to great things it helps
confirm the belief that we can also become
heroes in our own lives.”
The Secret to a Successful
Storytelling Campaign
-Marketing statistics tell us consumers need to see something 3-7
times before acting.
-Good stories are presented in three acts.
-Coincidence?
-Present your stories as EPISODES using the three act story structure
(coming soon!)
-Breaking up the content makes it more digestible and gives you the
opportunity for more touches with your audience.
The Episodic Approach
-Pick 2 Stories
-Use the singularity effect by choosing one face for each story
-Which stories have the biggest trial and triumph? Which have the
greatest change/result?
-The greater the struggle the greater the story
Which Stories?
Think of one person right now
who you feel embodies or
represents your mission and
type their name into the chat.
3
-Pick your first story.
-Send one e-mail and post once a day for three days in a row.
-Wait one week.
-Choose your second story.
-Send one e-mail and post once a day for three days in a row.
Now what?
-A Question (Ask your audience for feedback. Getting to know them
will help you better cater your message.)
-A Next Step (Invite them to watch a video, visit your website, or
schedule a site tour.)
-An Ask (Give specific dollar amounts and be sure to tell them what
their gift will achieve!)
-Leave links in your e-mails/posts.
INCLUDE A CALL TO ACTION
- Use Consistent Messaging
- Multi-Channel Approach
Post the stories simultaneously on your social media channels, submit
the stories to the press (newspaper, news stations and radio are
always looking for nicely packaged stories) and consider a mailing
component. How can you tie those stories into your events?
