Storytelling is a social and a cultural activity of sharing stories which are mostly used to entertain, to educate, to preserve culture and to instill moral values. Ages ago, Storytelling was used to sharing knowledge and information. Back when we were kids, storytelling activity was related to the bedtime stories our parents told us to sleep. We knew stories like fairy tales and folklores, and for us, our parents took a role as the storytellers.

As we grow up, we heard about these contemporary Storytellers: photographers, videographers, teachers, announcers, even influencers. Storytelling is being transformed from oral to visual, and it’s the great tool to gain engagement with their audiences.These days, start-ups are everywhere. Their stories and how they deliver them are what distinct one to another. Some businesses outsmart others because of their story and the value that they brings. Photo that won Pulitzer were not only well-taken, but also a picture that can speaks a thousand words. So we got it: Storytelling is important. It engages us with our audience, our market. It brings life to the things we sell. Most importantly, it defines our value.
