Myth 1: Storytelling beyond seconds

How long do you need to capture your audience’s attention? In a time dominated by short TikTok videos, a myth has risen that you sometimes only have as few as 0.4 seconds to catch viewers’ attention. 0.4 seconds to decide whether you want to engage or not. It is essential to understand that a short time to capture attention doesn’t necessarily mean you have to end your story after a few seconds. Take your viewers on a journey, tell a story and take your time to build the tension. Short and catchy introductions are great, though your content can be an exciting novel.

Myth 2: Letting stories shine

In advertising, there’s a prevalent misconception that your brand and logo must always be spotlighted. However, successful creative strategies often break away from this tradition. Instead of rushing to display your logo, create a captivating narrative that engages your audience’s emotions and curiosity. Drawing viewers into a compelling story can leave a memorable and lasting impression. The key is to harness the emotional power of storytelling to enhance the impact of your brand identity. Allow the brand to be shaped by the story rather than vice versa.

Myth 3: The heart of engagement

The last myth suggests that a high number of “likes” on your content signifies a solid consumer base. However, it’s crucial to recognize that “likes” predominantly come from individuals who find your content enjoyable, but that doesn’t necessarily convert them into loyal consumers or represent your core audience.Consider your own interactions with brand content. When and why do you hit that “like” button?

“Likes” may show engagement and loyalty, but they often need more to become active consumers. Distinguishing between casual engagement and genuine conversion is vital to building a solid consumer base. So, aim to create content beyond a simple “like” and truly inspire your audience.
