BRAND STORY TELLING WITH SHORT FORM VIDEO

For small business owners looking to stand out and build a loyal following, brand storytelling through short videos is the way to go. 

It’s a tactic that combines the art of storytelling with the power of visual media to create a strong emotional connection with your audience. 

In this article, we’ll explore why it’s important to craft impactful brand narratives, highlight your values and mission, and maintain consistency across your video content. 

In 2024 short videos can transform your brand’s digital presence and take your brand to the next level.

The Power of Concise Brand Narratives

In a world where attention spans are shrinking, short videos offer the perfect medium to engage and inform. 

A study by Social Media Week revealed that videos under two minutes long get the most engagement. 

This format forces brands to distill their message into its most essential elements, creating a clear, impactful narrative. 

By focusing on the core of your brand’s story, you can convey your values and mission in a way that resonates deeply with your audience.

Emotional Connections through Storytelling

Storytelling in marketing isn’t just about sharing facts; it’s about forging emotional connections. 

According to a report by Nielsen, ads with an above-average emotional response from viewers caused a 23% increase in sales compared to average ads. 

Short videos allow for storytelling that hits the heart—whether it’s a customer’s transformative journey with your product or the passion behind your brand’s creation.

The Serial Approach to Storytelling

Instead of trying to cram your entire brand story into one video, consider a series of shorts. This episodic approach mirrors how we consume content on platforms like Netflix and YouTube. 

Each video can be a chapter in a larger narrative, maintaining interest and anticipation. 

A survey by HubSpot found that 54% of consumers wanted to see more video content from brands they support, highlighting the demand for this storytelling format.
