Garage Stories’ Post

#TIPS #Storytelling - How to tell relevant stories This series of TIPS are a recap of some of the best "learn-by-breaking" insights that we've gathered with Garage Stories in the last 7 years running innovation labs, workshops and think tanks around #storytelling #innovation #community and #technology >> 1/3 What do you mean?" The key element to any story is the message. “What do I want to say?” is the first question you should as yourself. What is my message? What emotions/ thoughts do I want to trigger? Even “What do I expect from my audience?” And of course, there’s no guarantee that people will feel/ think exactly what you want, but think about it as a dartboard: you aim for the small circle for the middle, but even if you hit somewhere in the dartboard, you are still getting some points. What is important is to have a dartboard, a clear direction to help you keep consistency and make decisions. Game: Look for one your latest post on Instagram/ Linkedin. Can you tell in one sentence what were you trying to communicate? (With words, images or both). Now, can you identify sub-messages by order of importance? Comment or DM! We would love to hear your stories! #storytelling #newmedia #xr #entrepreneurship #innovation #garagestories _________ Broader vision about our journey into #Storytelling > We started our journey with Garage Stories delving into the unchartered territory of immersive storytelling, a new form of media where there’s not frame and where the relationship between the creator and the audience is completely shifted; the audience is part of the story not just a mere spectator. In this landscape, where there’s no longer a restrictive frame, directing attention becomes an art of ingenuity; one must coax rather than command, for now, every corner is theirs to explore. The first methodological tools we ever designed at Garage Stories, were aimed at crafting strategies to build compelling audience’s journeys inside this new immersive worlds. Little did we fathom that this approach would unveil profound insights into the essence of storytelling itself: your story is never about you, but about your audience, a mirror reflecting their desires and dreams. You have to know it all, but you must only show the pieces that are relevant to your audience, and place them in a way that takes them in a journey that you’ve carefully planned while keeping the believe that they are making their own choices.

The Power of Storytelling Storytelling isn't just a narrative technique; it's a strategic tool for building brand resonance. The human mind is wired for stories. We're drawn to narratives that evoke emotions, create connections, and leave a lasting impression. Kinesthetics, the learning style that emphasizes physical movement and sensory experiences, plays a crucial role in this process. When a story is told effectively, it's like experiencing it firsthand. This visceral connection is what makes storytelling so powerful. Think about it: Stories aren't just about plot and characters. They're about experience. A well-crafted story can transport your audience into your brand's world, making them feel like they're part of the journey. This emotional connection is the key to building brand loyalty and advocacy. When you're pitching your brand or product, your ability to tell a compelling story can make all the difference. Instead of simply listing features and benefits, you're inviting your audience to experience your brand firsthand. And when they're emotionally invested, they're more likely to become lifelong customers. Remember, if they participate in your storytelling, they're more likely to participate in your business. #Mukundspeaks #JVDMettleInnovations #storytelling #storyteller #growth #businesstips #branding #mindandsoul #startups #marketingstrategies #brandawareness #strategy #innovations #entrepreneurship #mindset #POV ##markettrends #businessstrategies #BusinessIntelligence #content #storytellingmagic JVD Mettle Innovations Pvt Ltd Vrushali Deshpande

Startups underestimate the power of AUTHENTIC STORYTELLING. Big mistake! Your story isn’t just fluff—it’s your heartbeat. Without it, you’re a soulless entity: ⭐ NO CONNECTION: Without a genuine narrative, you won’t emotionally engage your audience. ⭐ FORGOTTEN: Your brand will be just another name amid the noise. ⭐ NO LOYALTY: People support brands they feel connected to and believe in. ⭐ LIMITED GROWTH: A compelling story opens doors to new opportunities and partnerships. Authentic storytelling builds trust and loyalty. I learned this through sleepless nights and countless errors. At Fe/male Switch, we missed the mark on storytelling early on, focusing too much on product features and not enough on our 'why' when we started. This led to: 😞 Disconnected audience. 😞 Missed chances to stand out. 😞 Reiterations to include our story later on. Spare yourself the turmoil and put your story front and center. Don’t repeat my mistakes. Join Fe/male Switch, the women-first startup game that takes you from IDEA to FIRST CUSTOMER and beyond, and get your startup storytelling right from the start. What stories do you think resonate most with your audience?

Most of my best startup marketing thinking is done on a physical notepad, particularly in the drawing of conceptual pictures. I find that sketching out ideas leads to visual storytelling, and I think visual storytelling is key to being simple, memorable, and impactful. If I can get a narrative to be easily visualized in the mind, or for a picture to stock in the mind, then that is going to be so much more effective. Anyway, how do you work through marketing and messaging ideas? #marketing #messaging #startups

In today's dynamic market, storytelling isn't just a tool—it's the heartbeat of a successful brand. Brand's story is its very soul.

How to Become Better at Brand Storytelling as a Founder 🎬 Imagine you're in a crowded room pitching your new incredibly brilliant product to potential investors and users. Facts and features are important, but what if you could truly captivate their attention and forge a lasting connection? Jim Holtje's "The Power of Storytelling" (2011) debunks the misconception that business communication is based primarily on dry statistics. Instead, it gives you the ability to communicate in the language your audience craves: storytelling. Creating an engaging story captures attention and builds trust. Here are some 3 tips for effective storytelling as a founder: 1. Why, not What: People connect with purpose. Don't just explain what you do, share the "why" behind your product or service. What problem are you solving? What story are you trying to tell the world? 2. Real People, Real Results: Numbers are important, but stories of real customers experiencing success with your product resonate more deeply. Share testimonials and success stories to showcase your impact. 3. From Struggle to Triumph: Every startup faces challenges. Share your journey - the struggles, the setbacks, and ultimately, the triumphs. This vulnerability builds trust and authenticity with your audience. Stand out from the crowd by integrating these elements into your marketing, presentations, and business strategies.  Storytelling allows you to connect with your audience on an emotional level, fostering trust and loyalty.  In a world saturated with information, a well-told story can be the key to sustainable growth for your startup.

How Are You? Slide Old, Slide Old. Let's be honest - the traditional slide deck format has been ingrained in our minds as the go-to way to pitch ideas, sell products and present ourselves professionally. Those little rectangular windows into our thoughts have served us well over the decades. But in today's rapidly evolving world, where immersive, visual storytelling is paramount, especially for creative industries, aren't we ready to move beyond the confines of the slide? Look, I'm not here to bash slides entirely. This concise, structured format will continue being incredibly useful for certain use cases like corporate reporting, educational lectures and quick recaps. But when it comes to bringing truly innovative concepts to life and captivating an audience with your vision, the old slide deck often falls flat. 50% of an idea's success comes from how well it's presented. A mind-blowing concept deserves an equally mind-blowing presentation experience, doesn't it? I believe even marginally good ideas, if packaged and delivered in a uniquely compelling way, can catch fire and cause real change. That's why at superperfect.io, we're pioneering new frontiers in presentation creation. Our platform will be combines stunning visual design with lightweight animation capabilities to transcend linear slides.

It's time to push past the boundaries of rectangles. Slides have served their purpose admirably. But the creative world is evolving, and how we convey our ideas should evolve with it. #startups #entrepreneurship #founders
