About the video: The Dual Purpose
Overview
“In this lesson I will tell you about the importance of dual purpose for the storytelling of your brand. I'll show you how Simon Sinek's "golden circle" works and tell you that there are studies showing that purposeful companies grow two to three times faster than their competitors. I will also talk to you about the "concrete" purpose of a storytelling: to inform, argue, persuade, describe ... I will name examples of all this and, finally, you will learn to identify the double purpose of your project: its deep reason for being, and also the purpose concrete that your story may have. To exemplify all of this, I'll show you the dual purpose of Burning Heads. ”
In this video lesson Gabriel García de Oro addresses the topic: The Dual Purpose, which is part of the Domestika online course: Storytelling Techniques for Conveying a Message. Discover the most powerful tool for effectively communicating your brand, business, or work through emotions.
