Total acuity refers to the sharpness of vision. We all carry a storytelling mind that uses stories to make sense of the world. This book explores this innate ability to develop detail-rich visual stories that vividly illustrate the power of visual storytelling - the next generation's marketing approach. The logic is simple: The more meaningful details your story carries, the stronger propensity for your customer to see herself in your story and act on your call-to-action. These short stories will introduce you - the marketer or entrepreneur – to three storytelling channels: (i) A series of ordinary but true stories, (ii) supported with illustrative visuals that demonstrate visual storytelling principles, and (iii) actionable lessons from each story that you could easily apply to your business. I hope you’ll often be able to see yourself mirrored in some of these stories with direct benefits to your personal and business worlds.
