20. Knowing These 7 Story Types Will Make Your Life Easier — Bryce McNabb
from No Fat Cats - A Podcast for Creative Teams · host Wesley Dean
There are really only seven basic story that we really ever tell. You have two options, you can either spend a lot of time figuring out the story that you want to tell and thinking you are just being creative, or you can figure out which of these story types your story is, and save yourself a lot of headache. Since using this formula Bryce has won 3 regional Emmy Awards and 2 Automotive Communication awards for his documentary-style marketing videos. I know that as a creative, I like the idea of being original and coming up with something new, but there is really “nothing new under the sun”. If you embrace this concept, you will be able to focus your energy on telling the story in a creative way, rather than just grinding your wheels. In this episode we also talk about the need to just create content, and how having stuff live on your hard drive will never really go anywhere. We also dive into how LinkedIn is an untapped gold mine that we should be in more.
