3: Introducing the AntagonistIn nearly every classic story, the hero fights the villain. The same holds true for a Steve Jobs presentation.
In 1984, the villain was IBM, known as Big Blue at the time. Before Jobs introduced the famous 1984 television ad toa group of Apple salespeople, he created a dramatic story around it. IBM wants it all, he said. Apple would be the onlycompany to stand in its way. It was very dramatic, and the crowd went crazy. Branding expert Martin Lindstrom says thatgreat brands and religions have something in common: the idea of vanquishing a shared enemy. Jobs created a villain thaallowed the audience to rally around the hero Apple and its products.
A villain doesnt necessarily have to be a direct competitor. It can also be a problem in need of a solution. When Jobs
introduced the iPhone in January 2007, his presentation at Macworld focused on the problems mobile phone users wereexperiencing with the current technology. The iPhone, he said, would resolve those issues. Setting up the problem opensthe door for the hero to save the day.
