Brand fiction uses storytelling techniques to develop an emotional connection between consumers and a brand. It encourages long-term relationships by associating brand messages with real memories and positive emotions through fictional stories and characters. An original story can feature ideas or desires that relate to a brand's target audience. For example, consumers may want to experience the same emotions or visit the same places they read about. While storytelling can involve true stories of a brand, brand fiction presents subliminal brand concepts through fictional narratives to trigger emotional connections with the brand.

2. The power of a story
• The use of fiction to enhance a brand – known as Brand Fiction –
is a valuable Marketing tool because it encourages consumers to
develop an in-depth and long-term relationship with a brand,
product or service

3. Messages in the story are associated with affective and real
memory, where facts, places and experiences interact with
positive emotions connecting and engaging with the brand

4. Emotional Relationship
• An original storyline can be
developed around some
ideas, needs, or even
desires, especially to
connect your Marketing
Communications strategy
to your target audience
through an original piece
of fiction

5. For example, what
consumers read in a book
or see in a movie can
often trigger the desire to
experience the same
emotions of the character
in the story and to visit the
same places
Remember:
Human beings are
consumed by wanderlust!

City” was aired in

success, the “44
Scotland Street”

book lovers that
want to walk on
the same streets
where Alexander
McCall Smith's
main characters
often wander, in
Edinburgh – the
first “UNESCO City
of Literature”

9. But… is Brand Fiction the
same as Storytelling?
• Brand Fiction certainly uses
Storytelling techniques
• But not all Storytelling techniques
refer to Brand Fiction

10. • In storytelling usually the focus is
the reality, for example, the true
story of a company or a brand
being told through a creative
narrative
• In brand ficcion subliminal
emotions and other concepts of
a brand, company or place will
be presented through a fictional
story
Storytelling Brand

11. The narrative can be…
Non-fiction Fiction

will embrace the brand and present it to the audience
