Atlas recently co-hosted a live webinar with Sling & Stone on the importance of telling your brand story to attract investors and top talent. The webinar covered several crucial topics, including the importance of a compelling brand story and strategies to create one that resonates with potential investors and employees. In this article, we'll recap some key points to help you quickly scale up your business.
The Importance of Brand Storytelling
Storytelling is a crucial component of building a strong brand. Brand storytelling should show people how they can make a real difference to the world by being a part of your mission.
For example, Airbnb appealed to investors by showing them how they could help disrupt the hotel industry. They also inspired employees to be part of something unique by making any home in the world rentable.
Strategy For Crafting a Compelling Brand Story
One effective strategy to create a compelling brand story is to ask yourself the following four key questions.
- What is the problem you are solving?
- What is your insight?
- What is your solution in simple terms?
- What is your vision?
By answering these questions, you can create a clear and compelling narrative that resonates with investors and employees.
Once you have a clear brand story, it is critical to tailor it slightly for different audiences so that it resonates with them better. For example, Airbnb articulated their brand story differently to investors and potential employees. They showed potential investors how they had an exciting opportunity to disrupt the hotel industry without having to build new properties, while they wanted new employees to see that they would be empowered to “create a world where anyone belongs anywhere.”
