What is the value of a loyal audience?

This is a big question that many brands ask themselves as they evaluate whether or not to pursue brand storytelling. In this episode, we explore the dollars and cents of customer loyalty, how brand storytelling builds loyalty with an audience, and how the countless decisions in the filmmaking process are opportunities to either build or break trust with a brand's audience.

Takeaways

- Brand storytelling helps differentiate a brand and build an engaged and loyal audience.

- Building trust through brand storytelling can have a significant impact on a brand's bottom line.

- Transitive trust is a powerful tool in brand storytelling, where trust in characters on screen translates to trust in the brand.

- Resonating with the audience, choosing appropriate locations, ensuring authenticity, and paying attention to supporting details are crucial in building trust through brand storytelling.
