Storytelling as a Tool for Businesses


Everyone is now able to create videos to help promote their brand or company. In order to stand out in this crowded industry many companies are looking for other ways of connecting with their audiences, and one way of doing this is to use storytelling. I have learned that storytelling can help me to connect with my customers on a deeper level, because they are more engaging than other video types, and often evoke emotional feelings which are more meaningful and memorable. The stronger the engagement levels, the more likely my videos will be liked, shared and commented upon.

Stories help us to affirm who we are as an audience when we connect through stories, and it also allows the audience to experience similarities we have with others. This feeling of connection will help my brand to create brand loyalty with my audience. (https://youtu.be/KxDwieKpawg)

Restricted Intelligence - Campaign Infographic

Image
Restricted Intelligence is an information security awareness video series. I was asked to create an infographic to help guide users on the best way to roll-out the video series as part of an internal awareness campaign with employees. There was a need to produce a simple set of instructions to help clients use Restricted Intelligence video series as part of an awareness campaign.  Up until this point the company was sending out a text heavy documentation that wasn’t very easy for clients to follow. Improving the campaign instructions was important because the stronger the build-up of the campaign, the more engaged the audience would be, and therefore the films would be more of a success at building awareness. There were clear specifications with the brief: • It should either incorporate brand colours, or work in harmony with them • The design needs to be visually striking and fun • It needs to be company branded • The design needs to clearly show how best to ...

Leicester College YouTube Channel Project - The Shoot

Image
We had an awesome time filming footage for the films we planned to create. The highlight of the day was interviewing our lecturers, who gave us some great comedy moments, that really humanised the college’s identity. The filming days were long and hard work; we managed to visit 2 campuses, and captured footage of communal areas such as the cafeteria, library, and common areas, as well as classroom footage in the Graphics, Music, Fashion and Footwear, and Dance departments. We also managed to capture footage of the Open Day and experience going on the roof of the Abbey Park Campus to see the College light beam in action.
