Great stories succeed because
they are able to capture the
imagination of large or
important audiences.

WHAT IS STORYTELLING? 1
![Page 10: THE ART OF INBOUND STORYTELLING](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042619/5868c5a01a28ab27408c02f5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Stories help us understand the world.

• Plot • Characters • Narrative point of view
Crucial elements of stories include:
![Page 13: THE ART OF INBOUND STORYTELLING](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042619/5868c5a01a28ab27408c02f5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
DRAMA! If there’s no drama, chances are good it’s not a story but a pitch, tagline, unique selling point (USP), or plain statement. And it won’t resonate.* *aka get views, shares, conversions, or customers
![Page 14: THE ART OF INBOUND STORYTELLING](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042619/5868c5a01a28ab27408c02f5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
SHAKESPEARE?! DRAMA?! STORIES?!
![Page 15: THE ART OF INBOUND STORYTELLING](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042619/5868c5a01a28ab27408c02f5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Status Quo: The itsy-bitsy spider climbed up the water spout. Drama: Down came the rain and washed the spider out. (oh snap!)
Resolution: Out came the sun and dried up all the rain. And the itsy-bitsy spider climbed up the spout again.
![Page 16: THE ART OF INBOUND STORYTELLING](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042619/5868c5a01a28ab27408c02f5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Status Quo: Nemo lives by a reef with his dad. Drama: Nemo gets scooped up by humans. His dad embarks on an adventure with tons of danger to find his son. (oh snap!)
Resolution: Nemo is reunited with his dad. Dory now has friends. Even the fish tank fish make it out to sea. “And they lived happily ever after” = The End
![Page 17: THE ART OF INBOUND STORYTELLING](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042619/5868c5a01a28ab27408c02f5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Status Quo: We all do marketing a similar way. Drama: But the old marketing playbook isn’t cutting it anymore. The world’s changing. People tune it out and wind up hating all marketing. Resolution: There’s a better way (inbound) with a better system (HubSpot’s software) to be successful as marketers AND create marketing people actually love.
![Page 18: THE ART OF INBOUND STORYTELLING](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042619/5868c5a01a28ab27408c02f5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Status Quo: I’m buying tickets to Bruce on Ticketmaster. Drama: A captcha popped up. It’s a barrier. Furthermore, it’s an unusual type of captcha. It’s asking me to take actions to benefit a brand advertiser, and it feels spammy. Resolution: I completed it. But I felt weird and really dislike the brand and Ticketmaster for it. Ties to HubSpot: consumers today have control, so when forced into branded experience that isn’t consumer-initiated, they wind up hating your brand.
![Page 19: THE ART OF INBOUND STORYTELLING](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042619/5868c5a01a28ab27408c02f5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Status Quo: You get a lot of emails. Drama: In all this crazy inbox clutter, it’s incredibly hard for you to figure out which emails to even open! Resolution: You use the subject line to make that decision, and the very best subject lines win your attention. Ties to HubSpot: consumers today have control, and they can and do pick through tons of clutter daily. They won’t open emails with bad subject lines, so write great ones!
![Page 20: THE ART OF INBOUND STORYTELLING](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042619/5868c5a01a28ab27408c02f5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Status Quo: Email marketing is the best channel. Drama: ... Resolution: ?
Email marketing is the best channel to drive business for marketers. In fact, email marketing studies show those use email marketing increase lead generation by about 76%.
Make Me Care!
