How top marketers think about storytellingBy Lemon Scented Tea
The Storytelling ExpeditionsTogether with Adfo Groep, Lemon Scented Tea is organising Storytelling Expeditions: three boat trips on the Amsterdam canals, where marketers and storytelling specialists will discuss the do’s and don’t’s of storytelling.
The theme of the third edition was Story Doing: doing something remarkable with your product or service that gets people involved and sparks their imaginations.
During the session the following claim was discussed: ‘Brand engagement is created best by involving people in the development of your (campaign) story, not just by telling the outcome.’
Luuk Ros, Editor in Chief at Tijdschrift voor Marketing/MarketingOnline moderated the discussion.

add value to the product.”- John Olivieira, zelfstandig adviseur

courage to tell that story.” – Tijmen Doesborgh, Redbull
“Once you are part of a subculture, you will make a credible impression. You need to be available for your customers and you have to know and be every little
aspect of the story. ” – John Olivieira, ex Sanoma
“Story Doing is all about who brings the story and how fast you bring the story to your customers.”
– Gijsbregt Vijn, Lemon Scented Tea

brand to find new communication angles, because then you can use them for creating new stories.”

“It is all about the story and how you tell the story to your customers. A platform needs to be introduced, and
you as a brand, needs to serve as a platform. In this way, people can communicate and discuss with each other.”
– Yvonne Nassar, RAI Amsterdam
“With Story Doing you have to talk to your audience. It is essential that you stick to your story and not target an
individual but a whole group instead.” – John Olivieira, ex Sanoma
“Nowadays people trust more then ever on their own network. They rather talk to people instead of brands.
You need to make the people behind the brands visible.” – Yvonne Nassar, RAI Amsterdam
