Loading...Stories can act as vessels, carriers that help transmit information to others. In other words, stories carry things, a lesson or moral, information or a take-home message. No wonder that people tell stories for the same reasons they share word of mouth. Some narratives are about social currency, some are driven by emotions or retold for their practical value.

People don’t think in terms of information. They think in terms of narratives. But while they focus on the story itself, information comes along for the ride. Stories, then, can act as vessels, carriers that help transmit information to others.

Short-term memory is electrical; long-term memory is chemical. We can only do three things to increase the transfer of our messages from electrical memory to chemical memory: increase the relevancy of the message, increase the frequency of its repetition, or both. Branding is accomplished only when you have a relevant message that is repeated with enough frequency to become stored in chemical memory.
