Why do we tell stories?

Even more than to convince, we often tell stories to share with our audience what touches us, and to make them want to join us and adopt what we have to offer (idea, offer, project).

An unrivaled format to convey a key message

We remember a story because it follows a precise structure that makes it easy to remember and turns words into images that we retain without effort. Storytelling is thus one of the most effective ways to convey a message in a lasting and impactful manner because it merges emotion with information.

The emotion to take action

When we want to convince, we tend to adopt an 'expert posture', in order to be sure to communicate rationally about all the advantages of our offer.

Being an expert is necessary, but it only allows you to target the rational brain of your audience.

By touching the seat of emotions in the brain, the story helps you inspire your audience to take action and buy into your offer, idea or message.
