And if you integrate these “thinking round the corner” in your life on a daily basis, you will definitely have more fun.

Storytelling as key factor for Marketing

Collective memories connect people and keep cultures, societies and companies alive. Our brains are hungry for plots and narrative connections and it is up to Marketing departments to understand and influence these factors..

 

Nothing connects and unites people more powerfully than the mutual and collective experience of a shared adventure. Our brains are hungrily looking for plots, creating narrative connections whenever possible and it is mutually shared stories that keep cultures and societies alive and determine their futures. Rituals, storytelling and theatrical performances were among the first bond-forming rituals mankind has developed.

From the origins of theatre at the prehistoric fireplace until today’s culture of sharing our lives in the social networks, remodeling our world on all levels. Spiced with fun examples also from the “Discworld” of the late Terry Pratchett you will see how the vital element of “Narrativium” influences culture, commerce, conferences, common purpose and general connectedness.

The final result of the different exercises will be a short perfomace, possibly a multilevel-multimedia storytelling including video and depending on the participants possible also an interactive online game.
