Stories hold no value to your brand and/or business unless you have a strategy attached to them. If you're a startup in the beginning stages of telling your story, I suggest you put pen to paper before you start creating anything.

Knowing how your storytelling project aligns with your brand strategy will make for a smoother campaign.
