Keys to successful story-telling:


Focus your story where people already are.

Where is your audience at? Start from there, instead of trying to push them somewhere else.

Wanted to make a point about labor issues, but the audience wasn’t already there

So instead they started where the audience already was: they knew about Garth Brooks, who had just signed a high-profile exclusivity deal with Wal-Mart
