Every company has a story. Every marketing agency says they are experts in telling your story, but every story you tell needs a strategy. At the core of effective communication lies a good story to illustrate your company’s purpose. This story must also be structured in a coherent, compelling way via a definitive game plan. 

Our team of content and design experts are maniacally focused on getting results by combining strategy with both narrative and visual storytelling. We’ve developed a unique, effective methodology called STRATEGIC STORYTELLING: our distinctive process to craft your narrative purposefully and successfully. 

Why is storytelling important for a company?

Through our decades of experience in Silicon Valley collaborating with a range of clients from startups to venture capitalists to Fortune 100 companies, we’ve seen time and time again that the ability to effectively share ideas is crucial to a company’s impact. A story dissipates the disconnect between a human audience and pure numbers, bringing life to your project. Naturally, people resonate more with a captivating, easily digestible flow of information in the form of a story. The connection comes through translating complex, innovative ideas into an understandable, relatable narrative. 

A great story provides a customer with insight as to why they should care about the data you are giving them. Storytelling invokes urgency and passion for the issue you are addressing, supported by your evidence that proves you have the best solution.

Creative Blue has refined the art of messaging through our emphasis on storytelling. In order to make genuine connections with your target audience, we look beyond just graphs and statistics. In doing this, we immerse ourselves in the roots of your company’s origin, mission, and purpose to ultimately deliver customized messaging that will get your brand across in the most compelling way possible.  

What is the difference between storytelling and Strategic Storytelling? 

While every creative agency claims to be a master in storytelling, a deliberate plan of action is what truly brings your story to the next level. Whether you want to find the right Core Story or shape a pitch for investors, our STRATEGIC STORYTELLING methodology shares your story with a purpose or goal in mind. When pulling your audience into the story, it is easy to get lost in the fluff. However, with clear intentions and carefully thought out blueprints, we deliver results by breaking through the noise of telling a story in order to focus on the importance of the story itself with your particular message. 

STRATEGIC STORYTELLING is so effective because it embraces and accentuates the individuality that comes with every company’s specific story. By defining the goal of your story, we better understand how to structure and share your ideas to make maximum impact. Additionally, we are fearless in pushing the boundaries of creativity with our clients by adapting and supporting technological advancements and change. 

A story’s effectiveness isn’t just in what it says—it’s how it says it. We’ve found that three essential qualities drive every good story, and we’ve built a process around them: 

• ORIGINALITY: taking the ideas you already know and finding new, intuitive ways to express them. 

• CONCISION: getting to the core of those ideas faster and with more clarity. 

• EFFECTIVENESS: tuning every creative decision towards maximized real-world impact. 

STRATEGIC STORYTELLING is the dynamic approach that is key to building a powerful, impactful, and effective business. Through meticulous and thoughtful planning coupled with a team of fearless, creative minds, we elevate our clients’ stories to unparalleled success.
