Drop The Dead Donkey - Storytelling in Marketing & PRvinspired
Storytelling is a powerful tool for marketing, PR, and building brands. Stories that feature human interest, emotion, tragedy, humor, imagery, and cultural relevance are most likely to spread and engage audiences. Regional media provides opportunities to share community stories through print, broadcast, and online channels by highlighting local events, spokespeople, and issues. An effective PR campaign for a tree planting project would use the story of transforming a formerly dangerous area into a community green space to target local media and residents through press releases, community events, and word of mouth.

Views on compulsory community service proposals were mixed.

16-24 year olds have grown up in a digital world and rely on the internet for communication, entertainment, and knowledge. They cruise different styles and cultures online, taking what they like and filtering out the rest. This has led to an era where experiences are highly valued over defined groups.
While ambitious and passionate, they also crave personal recognition and worry about failure to achieve their goals. Anything perceived as lacking control causes stress.
To effectively reach this demographic, brands must have a strong online presence where they interact and engage audiences. They should focus on creating memorable experiences rather than targeting specific tribes. Most importantly, they must help address 16-24 year olds' social concerns and allow self-expression
