GREAT STORIESGIVE SENSE TO OUR LIFES
WHY?
stories are full of
MYTHS
"Exemplary and sacred ideas that provide sense to the human existence since the beginning of our times".Mircea Eliade, mythologist.
stories are full of
ARCHETYPES
"Patterns that are alive in the collective unconscious of all societies"Carl Jung, psychologist.
stories are full of
CONFLICTS
"What you want to do but is prevented to do"Aleksei Abib, filmmaker
stories are full of
MESSAGES
AND BESIDES THAT...
GREAT STORIES
ARE EVERYWHERE
We can hear them from a
FRIEND
Or we can hear them at the
CHURCH
We can learn them in the
CLASSROOM
Or we can learn them from our
COLLEGUES
We can watch them at the
THEATERS
Or we can read them on the
NEWSPAPERS
Ops... on the
NEWS
and trough them, we create our
STORIES WE LIKEhelp us to create our
PERCEPTION OF VALUE
OWN STORY
AND WHY DOESN'T
YOUR BRAND TAKE A ROLE
IN THAT PROCESS?
WHAT IF YOUR
BRAND CREATES
A STORY THAT
WILL MAKE
SENSE TO OTHER
PEOPLE'S LIFE?

"It is not the voice that commands the story. It is the ear."
- Italo Calvino
It is not the marketing director that commands
the story. It is the consumer.
"A man tells his stories so many times that hebecomes the stories. They live on after him, and
in that way he becomes immortal." -Will Bloom | Big Fish
A brand tells its stories so many times that it becomes
the stories. They live on every touch point, and in that way it
becomes immortal.
