However that doesn\u2019t mean that a brand is cemented in the story it tells; rather, the <a href=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/blog\/a-stress-free-playlist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">story<\/a> is a vessel for the brand and that vessel can (and should) change much like chapters in a book.<\/p>\n<p>Before the examples here, we saw advertisers playing with storytelling through Coke and (perhaps most memorably through perfected crafting) with <a href=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/blog\/how-google-india-nailed-marketing-through-storytelling\/\">Google India<\/a>. The fact that we\u2019re seeing these three viral ads, two of which are for lesser-known organizations, reinforces the practices and proves we\u2019re hurdling in a storytelling direction at record speed.<\/p>\n<p>This means that marketers and advertisers who can\u2019t develop a compelling story, won\u2019t get very far. For those still scratching their heads at the drawing board, here\u2019s a tip: if you want people to talk about you, you have to talk about them.<\/p>\n<p>Save the Children UK\u2019s second-a-day ad, chronicling the life of an average school girl, went viral because it took a globally recognized issue that (over the course of a three year on going civil war), we\u2019ve become distanced from. They bridge that gap by showing what it would be like if the problem over \u201cthere\u201d hit home. Getting the average person to relate to something so complex and remote is a challenge. Save the Children keeps the concept simple by looking at the core humanitarian issues suffered by children; they don\u2019t get caught up in geopolitics.<\/p>\n<p>As <i>Time Magazine<\/i> noted, a similar gesture was made by SOS Children\u2019s Villages, a Norwegian nonprofit that \u201crecently staged a candid camera ad featuring a freezing boy at a bus stop.\u201d The story here was in documenting the reaction of the passers, nearly all of whom couldn\u2019t help but act. The climax here is (brilliantly) in the passerby\u2019s actions; they take the jacket of their back and offer it to the boy. A noble but simple gesture that punctuates the organizations point clearly: (a) this is one child you can see while there are many you cannot, and (b) if you can help him so easily, what about the hundreds of thousands Syrian refugees.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not everyday that a non-profit organization makes the headlines for their advertising. Causes, in general, seem to be doing a great job of this in recent times \u2013 and the Google Glass commercial highlighting the very grave issue domestic abuse in commemoration of the annual Women\u2019s Day, was no lesser feat.<\/p>\n<p>Turning the page of a different story, iPad Air\u2019s visionary ad that captures and inspires us, was in short, nothing less than what they were asking us to do. Using classic storytelling mediums of sights, sounds, and story, the advertising geniuses behind the ad created something beautiful artistic in the process \u2013 an ad that rushed toward us and whirled around us, playfully dancing to both verse and song, pushing us to do the same. Apple also set up a \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/your-verse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Your Verse<\/a>\u201d page on its website, whose (according to BGR) \u201cmain purpose is to capture the many ways people use its iPads in different parts of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These ads went viral but not in the way you\u2019d imagine it.<\/p>\n<p>In a truly viral campaign, you\u2019re going to a percentage of your viewers sharing repeatedly because they\u2019re that moved your ad. They\u2019ll share it the once; and then they\u2019ll share it once or twice more over a few days because they want to make sure their network sees this video. They aren\u2019t done discussing your ad. They want to conversation to continue. Here you don\u2019t have the case of a serial \u2018click share\u2019 \u2013 rather, you\u2019ve got someone for whom the message or the story in the ad has resonated so much that it has stayed with them beyond the share.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple shares are the mark of a great story. A great story doesn\u2019t just get told once, it gets told by each listener and repeatedly to (sometimes the same but often) new listeners. Today\u2019s advertisers realize you can tell a \u201cmicro-story\u201d in just a few minutes \u2013 especially if you pair raw creativity with a winning formula.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The advertising industry\u2019s move to push narratives, ties back to brand journalism and the idea that your product should have a core story tells us about ourselves through the lens (and the product) of the advertiser.
