If you haven’t figured out how to tell your brand’s story well, you’re missing out on the huge revenue-boosting potential of your content marketing efforts. The right brand narrative has the power to increase the value of your business’s product or service by over 20 times.
Why does the story matter? It is what makes your brand significant. It’s the inspiring copy, the well-thought-out Instagram posts and website design, and the compelling video that turns mashed peanuts into Peter Pan Peanut Butter.
What Defines Great Brand Stories?
When marketing storytelling is done well, it:
- Clearly establishes what your brand is all about – its purpose, core values, and mission
- Offers the consumer more than just a product or service, but rather an experience that transcends mundane reality

This is how you can wield the true magic of experienced content marketers.
Here are the brand story examples that will show you just how powerful your content can be.

Every episode, uber-cool Instagram shot and even the hip black and magenta site design tell the Moxy story – and allude to expert mixologist services. What wanderlust-struck 20 or 30-something can resist?
