Advanced Storytelling Concepts for MarketersEd Shimp
Every marketer knows you’re supposed to tell a story, but do you know how to tell a story? Do you know why you’re supposed to tell a story? Do you even truly know what a story is? While many marketing presentations emphasize the value of mythic storytelling, the nuts and bolts of actually constructing a story are never explored.
The goal of marketing may be to achieve specific KPIs that drive sales, which is very objective, but the top of the marketing funnel requires a softer approach. In our data-driven results-oriented fast-paced world, marketers must quantify results, but those results will never be achieved unless prospects are first approached with humanity.
There is a common misunderstanding that the so-called “soft skills” of marketing such as language and art are unmeasurable and subjective, but while the objective measures of market research are merely 100 years old, the rules of aesthetics have been perfected over the last 2,500 years.
Great story construction is a skill that requires significant knowledge and practice. This presentation will be a review of the ancient art of story construction.
We will discuss:
• Rhetoric – The art of effective communication
• The Socratic Method – You cannot teach, but you can persuade people to learn
• Plato’s Cave – You sell products, but you market ideas
• Aristotle’s Six Dramatic Elements – The secret recipe for marketing stories
This is for senior marketers who are tasked with creating effective narratives or guiding others in the process. By the end of the session, attendees will have gained the knowledge needed to work storytelling into all phases of the buyer’s journey.

2. BUSINESS SITUATION
2
Strengths
•I’ve been a consultant since April 2004. I provide marketing
and communications strategy services. I have a B.A. in
English.
•My marketing and communications clients include General
Mills and TextMinded.
•As a volunteer, I have provided digital marketing services for
Twin Cities PEN/Minneapolis PEN for one year.
•Since I started this class, I’m billing myself as a digital
marketing strategist and communications strategist. My
background is in internal, corporate and marketing
communications, and I’m promoting myself as valuable
because I have all three areas of expertise.
•I have had more professional opportunities as a consultant.
If I was still working in my fulltime job as the lead editor for a
catalog, I would be doing the same thing, 12 years later.
•I have a background in design and can make design
decisions.
•Now I’m a marketing strategist, and I use my skills in
marketing strategy, communications strategy, content
creation, marketing plan development, social media
management and project management to work on a variety
of projects, including xx, xx, xx with clients.
•When I Google “digital marketing strategist,” I get 730,000
results. Compared to “marketing strategist” at 2,650,000
results, my profession has less competition.
•I get and give referrals from/to members of
@MinneapolisPEN, the professional association I do
volunteer work for.
Weaknesses
•Competition is
global now.
Fifteen years ago I
was competing
against others in
the
Minneapolis/St.
Paul area. Now I’m
competing against
the world.
•My background in
design confuses
potential clients;
they always ask,
are you more
interested in
writing or design?
I’m not sure why I
have to choose,
but yes, writing is
my strength and
design is less
important.
Opportunities
•International growth
•My goal is to persuade companies that my
unique combination of internal, corporate
and marketing communications and strategy
experience is not only relevant but crucial to
today’s marketplace, where employee
engagement, innovation and marketing
coalesce into a multi-pronged strategy in
order to increase sales, employee
engagement, and innovation as well as to
bring companies into the next phase of our
high-tech, highly automated, but creative and
engaged, world.
•I need to learn how to present new ideas
about digital marketing to clients so they
don’t feel threatened/afraid of new things
and/or “risks” of change; Corporate clients
are resistant to change, including digital
marketing, content marketing, and employee
engagement as well as just doing things
differently than they have done for the last
10/20/30 years.
•If a client is looking for a new vendor, it
trusts other companies more than individual
consultants, however, my prices are cheaper
than a company’s.
•My background in design isn’t up-to-date, so I
don’t want to actually work as a designer, but
I would like to use my design skills in a
management capacity.
Threats
•Clients balk at my
“high” hourly rate.
•I’ve worked for large
corporations, but I’m
required to sign
confidentiality
agreements, so I can’t
use work samples to
promote my
experience to get new
clients, i.e., potential
clients can’t judge my
qualifications based on
samples of my work.
Some potential clients
understand that issue,
but inexperienced
clients indicate they’ve
never heard of that
before, so I assume
they think I’m being
evasive. Solution: Only
work with large
corporations.
•Competition:
•If a client is looking
for a new vendor, it
trusts other
companies more
than individual
consultants like me.
Desired Results
•Get more high-
paying work.
•Get digital
marketing, not just
marketing, clients.
•Do interesting work.

SWOT Plus Desired Results
3. Hiring methods conflicts:
What Jessica, Matthew, Laura and Kevin are impressed with is
different from Robert, the Baby Boomer boss; however, I need to
appeal to Jessica, Matthew, Laura and Kevin to be recommended
by them, but I also need to appeal to Robert to be hired because:
He may have the final say, or
He have undue influence, and Jessica, Matthew, Laura and Kevin
are careful to do what they think Robert would want.
Why do companies need my services?
One of several reasons:
They need an influx of new ideas;
employees don’t have marketing experience;
not enough hours for a fulltime employee;
overflow work that they don’t expect to be permanent so don’t
want to hire an employee;
fill in for employees on maternity leave or vacation.
How have they found or heard about my services?
They don’t use ads, because they don’t want to have to read
through hundreds of resumes. They prefer Word of Mouth
marketing; they want to learn about someone and then contact
them and then hire them. The fewer the applicants, the better.
What’s stopping them from choosing the service?
They focus on rates and choose the cheapest consultant rather
than looking at rates and competence. “High” rates annoy them
and seem to make or break the deal.

TARGET
MARKETS
All three
personas work
for the same
corporation.
The content on
this page applies
to all three
personas.
Please note:
I’m using the term
“corporation” as a
customer’s perception of a
corporation, as opposed to
their perception of a small
business. In fact, a small
business is defined by the
SBA as up to 500
employees, but the
perception of a small
business is that it has one
or maybe two employees.
My personas are part of our
perception of
“corporations.”

TARGET MARKETS
Robert
Persona
Name: Robert
Age: Baby Boomer:
52-70 years old
Job Title:
Vice president /director/middle
manager of group in larger corporation
or CEO in smaller corporation
Mostly men and very few women, who
conform to traditional methods of hiring
and expect consultants to submit a
resume, maybe a thank you note, and
wait for their call.
Didn’t grow up with social media and is
not comfortable with digital.
Not willing to learn digital and rejects
help from others to learn.
Doesn’t see the need for corporation to
do digital marketing, so hires employees
who are afraid to speak up/make
changes, because of actual and potential
layoffs.
I would argue layoffs are a result of the
corporation’s inability to change course,
including doing digital marketing and
also product and service changes, but
this persona doesn’t see the connection.
Feels he doesn’t actually need to
understand digital or social media; he
has entire departments to do those
things for him! This is not a
contradiction to previous points,
because basically he is conflicted.
He may have the final say in a decision,
or
He has undue influence, and personas
Jessica, Matthew, Laura and Kevin are
careful to do what they think Robert
wants.
Fast or slow decision-maker: fast
Analytical or emotional decision-maker:
emotional
Willing to hire men or women who are
younger.
Target Markets continued on page 5
5. 5
Jessica or Matthew
Persona
Target Markets continued on page 6
Name: Jessica or Matthew Age: Millennial: 21-36 years old
Job Title: Assistant manager of
department in large corporation
Grew up with social media, and is
comfortable with digital.
Jessica and Matthew are heavily
influenced by male executives of company
who may or may not recommend hiring
her choice, but she will be communicating
with hired consultant on a regular basis,
so wants to pick someone she feels she
can get along with and understands what
needs to be done.
Fast or slow decision-maker: fast
Analytical or emotional decision-maker:
emotional?
Sees their current position as relatively
temporary and wants to get good
recommendations in order to move on.
Expects almost daily email contact from
applicants who use persuasive skills to
hire them.
TARGET MARKETS
The only difference between
Jessica and Matthew:
Matthew wants to hire men
or women who are his age.
Jessica is willing to hire
women who are younger or
somewhat older than her
but doesn’t want to hire
Baby Boomer men.
6. 6
Laura or Kevin
Persona
Age: Generation X: 37-51 years old
Job Title: Manager of department
in large corporation
Didn’t grow up with social media,
and are not comfortable with
digital, so they don’t really know
what to look for in an employee
who will handle the digital work in
the corporation
Same as Jessica/Matthew, except
they don’t see their current
positions as relatively temporary;
they think that they don’t need to
learn digital as long as they keep
their jobs at this corporation.
Fast or slow decision-maker: slow
Analytical or emotional decision-
maker: analytical
TARGET MARKETS
The differences between Laura
and Kevin:
Digital knowledge:
Laura doesn’t admit she doesn’t
understand it; if someone sat down
with her, she would learn it, but
otherwise avoids it.
Kevin is not willing to learn digital and
rejects any help from others to learn.
Hiring:
Laura is willing to hire women who are
younger or same age as her but
doesn’t want to hire older man.
Kevin is willing to hire men or women
who are younger or older.
7. STRATEGY

Target B2B, because my
previous experience is
primarily B2B.
Target large corporations,
because my previous
experience is primarily with
large corporations.
Educational and Thought
Leadership marketing:
Market my expertise.
Connect on social media with middle managers
and presidents and vice presidents of groups in
companies, so they recommend that their
subordinate managers hire me and/or consider
my application for a position.
Expect to get more leads
from LinkedIn, as opposed
to Twitter.
Type of content: Promote my trustworthiness.
Market my expertise.
Market my sources’ expertise.
Market my association with sources’ expertise.
Use an integrated
content strategy
Explain why it’s worth my higher rates for my
clients to work with me rather than choose a
competitor that may create a dysfunctional
strategy and unsuccessful campaign for clients’
product or service.
Improve my customer
service skills.
Incorporate omnichannel
sales strategy.
Use Google Analytics, my KPI
Scorecard and other apps to test
throughout the process. Measure
the quality and quantity of the
leads.
Establish quarterly goals to
check entire strategy.
Limited use of paid search,
because I don’t have a budget.
Have different kinds of content for
different stages of the buyer journey,
including videos, infographics posts, etc.,
and including original and curated
content.
Leverage the fact that if a client is looking
for a new vendor, it trusts other
companies more than individual
consultants, however, my prices are
cheaper than a company’s.
Monitor competitor and
customer conversations.
Use account-based marketing to
target companies, not personas,
because I market to multiple people
at the same company.
Find the
unsaturated niche.
