Storytelling works surprisingly well in business to business marketing. We can tell stories that evoke emotions in our customers. We want them to consider themselves as fitting into our business. LinkedIn did a campaign called “Picture yourself” which allowed customers to view their business through their own eyes. They got on a personal level and made an emotional connection on a deeper level. Microsoft started a program called Microsoft Stories which has become a way for people to express their comfort in using their products.
