Storytelling is the timeless language of humanity and one of the salient factors defining our species. For businesses embedding social purpose, the message is clear: Relying on the old comms playbook and stating your social purpose endlessly won’t get you far. Instead, you can drive your message home by telling meaningful stories that show how your purpose is making a difference.
Messaging is about telling an audience something; storytelling shows them something. Engaging social-purpose storytelling can shape the way people think and feel, and motivate them towards a desired action.
