The power of visual storytelling

I recently came across this wonderful commercial of Canadian Tire "Wheels"

This ad was a slam dunk for a very basic reason - Within 60 seconds, message was delivered and hearts were touched, thanks to powerful storytelling

The ad starts with a kid in wheelchair, looking wistfully at the group of boys playing basketball.

What's Next?

Next day the same group of boys are playing basketball, but in a special way 😊

Lessons -

Everybody's Inclusion will strengthen the nation

Until next time 😃

But its not always about the sales

Stories can be memories, they are influenced by individual experiences.

The art of story telling is the art of living too. The toughest lives will have the toughest stories. They yield the best memories and help us articulate our experiences in to stories.

We all cook stories 😉
We all know the art of story telling. Some of our stories are interesting and some are boring. Some are a plain lie (we give to our bosses).

Stories have a variety of flavors to them. Flavors of joy, sorrow, excitement and many mixed emotions.

And the one who empath…
