If you think about your top three movies, you&#8217;ll find that their stories are similar. they all have a hero with a problem, a guide that helps the hero solve the problem, and either a happy or sad ending. That&#8217;s exactly what keeps customers engaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Apple doesn\u2019t just sell phones - they sell emotions\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_Vt-iRlPsCY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-adae9ad8\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-adae9ad8\">1- <strong>The power of storytelling in advertising<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-04e28a2f\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-04e28a2f\">a. <strong>What is storytelling?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Storytelling is the way brands connect with their customers through giving them solutions to their challenges in an engaging and memorable way.

Miller explains it in a process of seven elements which are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-e5cac269\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-e5cac269\">Miller&#8217;s seven elements in storytelling:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Character<\/strong>: The customer is the story\u2019s hero, not the brand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Problem<\/strong>: Find the customer\u2019s problem.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Guide<\/strong>: Getting the customer to trust that the product will solve his problem by showing both empathy and authority. \u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Plan<\/strong>: put a clear and simple plan to solve the problem.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Call to action<\/strong>: Invite the customer to take action (through call-to-action buttons that should be positioned perfectly)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avoid failure<\/strong>: Make them know the risks if the problem is not solved.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Success<\/strong>: Show the positive transformation or success they\u2019ll achieve once the problem is solved.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple always highlights how their iPhone can make their customers\u2019 life easier. For example, through their campaign \u201cshot on iPhone macro challenge\u201d (Apple, 2022) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/ca\/newsroom\/2022\/01\/share-your-best-iphone-macro-photos-for-apples-shot-on-iphone-challenge\/\">&#8220;Shot on iPhone macro challenge&#8221;<\/a> :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Character:<\/strong> Apple shows how ordinary people can express themselves through extraordinary results. The iPhone here is just acting as a tool.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Problem:<\/strong> Apple understands the frustration people feel when they don\u2019t capture their important moments, this campaign is basically telling us: be your own professional photographer anytime anywhere!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Guide:<\/strong> Apple acts like a guide by showing their empathy for people who want both quality and simplicity, while showing authority through their reputation (design and technology).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Plan:<\/strong> Just the iPhone to reveal hidden beauty of everyday objects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Call to action: <\/strong>It invites customers to join the challenge and share their best shots.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avoid failure: <\/strong>Without the iPhone\u2019s macro lens, people will miss out on the potential of mobile photography.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Success: <\/strong>Apple shows that with just the iPhone, users can turn everyday moment into extraordinary detailed pictures.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-0e1ec797\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-0e1ec797\">b. <strong>Why storytelling is important<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Humans second worst enemy after Maslow\u2019s needs is boredom (Scitovsky, 1992).We are always looking for either mental or physical stimuli that keeps our brain busy. In business, this stimuli is storytelling, it keeps the brain engaged and creates some kind of emotional connection with customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this digital age, consumers keep getting spammed with ads that look exactly the same and sound exactly the same. Keeping them engaged now is tougher than it has ever been and storytelling is here to cut through this chaotic noise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-f23611e7\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-f23611e7\">c. <strong>Building emotional connections with storytelling<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since people tend to get bored quickly, stories must form some sort of emotional connection with them in order to keep them engaged. An example of this is Apple\u2019s campaign \u201cDear apple\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=N-x8Ik9G5Dg\">&#8220;Dear apple&#8221;<\/a> which was a 2 minute video of apple customer from all around the world showing how much the apple watch changed their lives, it had a very emotional aspect to it where people talked about their real life experiences with the apple watch and how it saved them and changed their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another aspect of this campaign is that the video was in form of hand-written letters people were reading, it felt more like a love letter which adds up a touch of heart warmth and trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-f5a80ce7\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-f5a80ce7\">2- <strong>Neuromarketing techniques to measure emotional response<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-ff29831e\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-ff29831e\">a. <strong>What is neuromarketing?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Neuromarketing is studying how the brain responds to advertisements, by checking the neuroimages, and tracking where the eyes move as well as other techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-37afd5f7\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-37afd5f7\">b. <strong>Using neuromarketing to measure emotional response<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0<strong>fMRI<\/strong>: It can accurately identify which areas of the brain are activated, which helps brands know which part of their story had the most effect on people\u2019s emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EEG<\/strong>: It visualizes the electrical waves in the brain, which helps brands know how focused the viewers stay and how each scene affected them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Eye-Tracking<\/strong>: It tracks viewers eye movements through the eye\u2019s fixation points and pupil dilation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A\/B Testing<\/strong>: By showing a different version of the story to each viewer, brands can know which story was more of a success in accessing people\u2019s hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-2c13281a\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-2c13281a\">3- <strong>Using web analytics to measure the impact of emotional storytelling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To measure the effectiveness of the neuromarketing techniques, brands use metrics that help them quantify the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CTR (click-through rate):<\/strong> It indicates how many times viewers clicked on the ad or link after seeing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conversion rate: <\/strong>by tracking how many of the viewers complete the desired action such as participation in the \u201cshot on iPhone\u201d campaign. The higher it is the more it means that the story successfully relates to the customer\u2019s feelings and needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Time on page: <\/strong>When the viewer stays longer in the ad, it means that the story kept him interested and engaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-968950df\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-968950df\">4- Apple&#8217;s storytelling techniques<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple uses many storytelling techniques such as <strong>suspense<\/strong> by teasing their customers with glimpses of the new features of the new iPhone releases. They create an element of <strong>surprise<\/strong> by turning everyday moments into something extraordinary like in their \u201cshot on iPhone\u201d campaign. Apple also focuses on keeping their ads <strong>simple<\/strong> like their \u201cdear apple\u201d campaign. Finaly, Apple show <strong>empathy <\/strong>towards their customers by giving them solutions to their frustrations, it creates an emotional connection where customers feel cared about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-0883d55b\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-0883d55b\">5- Where I stand on emotional storytelling in advertising<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe that it&#8217;s one of the most amazing advertising techniques to ever exist. I mean, what&#8217;s better than learning about a brand than listening to a story that makes us feel connected to it? When brands tell a story, it\u2019s not just about what they sell \u2013 it\u2019s more about creating a sense of shared experiences. This makes the ad feel more personal, almost like a friend who understands us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a world where ads keep popping up every few seconds infront of us, a personalized story is what will stand out. We won&#8217;t feel like we&#8217;re buying the product anymore, instead, we will feel like we&#8217;re part of something bigger. We are the heroes of the story and that product is our solution to having a happy ending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These emotion tracking methods will make us feel something that will take not only the big companies but also the small businesses into a whole new era of actually getting their customers to connect and engage with their ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-1242bbc2\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-1242bbc2\">6- The future of emotionally engaging stories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Using storytelling techniques and then combining neuromarketing with web analytics metrics in order to measure the viewers emotional engagement can be a turning point in the advertising industry not only big companies can have access to, even small businesses should be able to take advantage of it through accessible platforms or systems (SaaS platforms).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-6b5fa80f\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-6b5fa80f\">Bibliography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Miller, D.
