In this episode of Marketing & Strategy Unlocked, Dr. Nicolás Kfuri introduces  The Brand Story Canvas, a strategic framework for building compelling brand narratives that connect with customers on an emotional level. It explains why storytelling is crucial for modern branding, citing neuroscience and reports from firms like McKinsey and Bain & Company. The framework is broken down into eight key components: Origin, Purpose & Mission, Core Values, Audience, Conflict, Journey, Transformation, and Promise. The text provides examples from well-known companies like Warby Parker, Natura, Lego, Emirates Airlines, and Airbnb to illustrate each element, offering executive tips and methods for application. Ultimately, the Brand Story Canvas serves as a living tool to align teams, inform content, and recruit talent, helping brands build an authentic story that drives loyalty and growth.
