STORYDOING: THE KEY TO MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN COMMUNICATION CAMPAIGNS
You have probably heard of storytelling strategies in the execution of communication campaigns, but are you familiar with the term storydoing? While storytelling is a corporate communication strategy based on telling stories that have an impact on the audience, storydoing goes one step further: it is based on executing concrete actions that reflect and materialise that story. This approach, in addition to communicating, generates tangible experiences that strengthen the relationship between the brand and consumers. In today's post we explain what it is and how we at InfluenceSuite implement it in the communication strategies of many of our clients: First of all, what exactly is storydoing and what use does it have in communication campaigns? This term is based on the idea that actions have more impact than words. Instead of simply telling a story, brands embark on initiatives that demonstrate their own values and promises in a tangible way. For example, a company that, according to its storytelling strategy, claims to care about the environment might launch a reforestation campaign or develop sustainable products, making its actions validate its message. This approach is particularly effective in digital communication strategies, where consumers are increasingly attentive to authenticity and consistency between what brands say and what they actually do. Storydoing vs. Storytelling While storytelling remains a valuable tactic within communication strategies, storydoing offers the opportunity to go one step further, especially in an environment so saturated with messages. We stop relying on well-elaborated narratives to give way to the demonstration of this narrative through concrete facts. This is undoubtedly a strategic step that not only reinforces credibility, but also helps to activate horizontal communication in the company itself, fostering a corporate culture in which all members are aligned with the mission, vision and values through common actions. And finally, what is the role of communication agencies in change? A professional communications agency can lead this transition to storydoing by advising brands in the creation and execution of campaigns that reflect their values through their behaviour. From planning to executing communication campaigns, from organising press releases and press conferences, agencies have the ability to create and execute initiatives that not only communicate, but are also reflected in tangible actions. The future of business communication lies at the intersection between what brands say and what they do. Today, business decision-making is of great importance and storydoing is, in fact, an optimal way to connect with audiences on a deeper and more authentic level. For companies looking to stand out in a message-saturated world, this approach can make all the difference, and at Influencesuite we know why - contact us!
