“Storytelling is everything to the human experience. It’s how we communicate. It’s how we understand the world around us. It’s how our behaviors are influenced.”

Adrian Fulle — Chief Marketing Officer at ByoPlanet — joins Connor to discuss the importance of storytelling in both B2C and B2B marketing and the role AI plays in the equation. Learn about how stories are integral to the human experience — shaping communication, enhancing understanding, and influencing behavior — and how positive emotions about a brand can lead to favorable buyer decision-making.

Key Takeaways

The importance of storytelling. Storytelling is essential in both B2C and B2B marketing because it appeals to the human experience. Stories help us communicate, understand the world, and influence behavior. Whether it’s a consumer or a business, stories play a significant role in conveying brand identity, product value, and differentiation.
Emotional connection in B2B marketing. B2B decision-making is often more emotional than it appears. Emotional connection plays a crucial role in building relationships and influencing purchasing decisions. Marketers should focus on creating positive emotions around their brand, product, or service to engage B2B buyers before presenting the rational benefits and features.
Marketing to AI. As AI technologies continue to advance, marketers will face the challenge of marketing to machines as well as humans. Personal assistants, buying assistants, and AI-driven decision-making systems will handle many tasks and decisions previously made by humans, so marketers will need to adapt their strategies to appeal to the values, benefits, and pricing criteria of AI systems, as emotional appeals may not be as effective.
