Maybe a tad too complex for our young students, but still a nice way of understanding the foundations of storytelling!!
According to Howard Gardner, a professor at Harvard University, “Stories are the single most powerful weapon in a leader’s rhetorical arsenal.” Yet most people struggle to think of compelling stories that reinforce their messages.

There are a few things that make this example interesting for me:
- value innovation in a commoditized market, where decisions are made mostly based on price
- creating a very different value proposition, focused on customer-centricity
- use of technology (app)
- storytelling as a way of customer engagement
