“Take Airbnb’s award-winning Breaking Down Walls campaign. In one ad, they tell the story of Berlin, a city once divided by the Berlin Wall. The ad does not highlight the number of listings or cost savings. Instead, it tells a story of connection and transformation. It starts with the emotional arc of a daughter who wants to take her dad, who once guarded the Berlin Wall, back to see the city. It begins with his life shackled by pain: The daughter wonders, “Could seeing the city now help him?” The turning point comes when the ad shows the symbolic power of breaking barriers and arriving at his vacation home where the host was a familiar face, the guard who patrolled the other side of the wall. Airbnb is not just a place to stay. It becomes a bridge that transforms division into connection. When the story aligns with emotions like belonging and unity, belief replaces doubt, and action becomes inevitable.”

“Buyer Legends is a business process that uses storytelling techniques to map the critical paths a prospective buyer might follow on his journey to becoming a buyer.
This process aligns strategy to brand story to the buyer’s actual experience on their customer journey.
These easy-to-tell stories reveal the opportunities and gaps in the customer’s experience versus the current marketing & sales process.
These legends communicate the brand’s story intent and critical touch point responsibilities within every level of an organization, from the boardroom to the stockroom.
Buyer Legends reconcile the creative process to data analysis; aligning metrics with previously hard-to-measure marketing, sales, and customer service processes. The first result is improved execution, communications, and testing. The second result is a big boost to the bottom line.”
