3. IT'S ABOUT USING THE
POWER OF EMOTIONS
TO GET YOUR MESSAGE ACROSS
- not addressing the rational brain of your
audience.
4. IT'S ABOUT CREATING
A UNIQUE SERIES OF
EVENTS, LINKED WITH
UNIVERSAL STORIES
AND MYTHS*.
* Adam and Eve, The Pursuit Of Happiness, David And Goliath…
5. IT'S MADE OF
- AN UNSATISFIED HERO
- A CRUCIAL QUEST
- AN INSPIRING MENTOR
- CHALLENGING OBSTACLES
- (a resolution is not required in the
business world, since the quest for a
better world is never ending)

17. THERE ARE 2 WAYS YOU
CAN USE STORIES :
- TELL AN ACTUAL STORY: in
a pitch, blog, video, email…
- CHOOSE WORDS OR
IMAGES THAT TRIGGER THE
IMAGINATION OF YOUR
AUDIENCE: in your
homepage banner, an ad, a
book cover…
33. THAT'S ALSO STORYTELLING
The mentor has a unique personality: the founders define Warby Parker as
'a curious brand that's all about learning'. The language they use to present a
product is as literary as it is in the previous Our Story section. Did you learn a
new word today?
34. In short,
AS A FOUNDER, YOUR
PERSONAL STORY USUALLY
BEGINS WITH YOU AS A HERO,
DETERMINED TO BREAK
DOWN THE UNACCEPTABLE
BARRIERS ERECTED BY OLD-
TIME INDUSTRIES, AND
ULTIMATELY MAKING THE
WORLD A BETTER PLACE.
35. However…
AS A COMPANY, YOUR
STORYTELLING SHOULD
ALWAYS BEGIN WITH YOUR
USER AS A HERO, LONGING
TO RESOLVE SOME
UNSATISFACTION. YOUR
BRAND, AS A MENTOR, IS JUST
HERE TO HELP.
36. DO YOU HAVE THE KEY
INGREDIENTS
TO A GREAT STORY
WITH POWERFUL
EMOTIONS?
