Reflection – Storytelling 

 Diana Vazquez 

 Challenge & Selection 

 Storytelling in my field is a tool often used to connect with people all around the world who often   share an idealization of a dream or a story itself . Everyone has a dream , many people dream about   opening their own business themselves . 

 I have came across a lot of small business who were opened to the public with the main goal of   connecting with people and share their story ( aside the obvious side of making a business ) . I find   these kind of processes very noticeable among the new trend of opening Little cafés or food   service places , people frequently visit these places no just because of the producto ( food and   drinks ) , but because of the differential experience each of these business can give them . 

 Application 

 Nowadays people use social media to reach out to a broader public . It ’s a very effective tool to   continue the path of storytelling itself . For example , i like to “ hunt ” for new places to visit every   time on social media , watching their Instagram feed can tell me so much more about the place   before i even get the opportunity to visit it , but it also makes my curiosity grow . 

 There ’s a little patisserie that opened 3 months ago in the city , the owner used to make bread and   cakes for other cafés , quite famous around “ the scene ” , but she never got to open her own   business until recently . Al lof this was discovered by a simple approach and conversation , so I   wondered , how many people could feel motivated by her story and will her story make her own   brand seem more approachable and not just a single new business in town ? 

 Insight 

 Using social media as a tool for storytelling can tell me so much not only about the place or their   producto , but their story itself . Has anyone tried to interview these entrepeneurs about the   challenges and dreams they had in order to get to that place were they finally were able to open   their business to public ? How many of these stories can be relatable to the public itself ? It makes   the whole experience more personal and engaging before you even have to visit the place , and we   know , not everyone has the time to have a 1 to 1 talk with the owner the first time they visit their   business . 

 Approach 

 Considering using an Instagram account to share the stories about these small business to the   people of a certain city or district . To chose this type of communication tool can make the content   available to a wider public and they do n’t necessarily have to access a different website to get the   story . Owners can also share their story to their peers and the abundant circle of growing the   storytelling account can fuel the engagement . 

 This way , the next time a new costumer visits the place , they will have a familiar feeling lingering ,   as if it ’s visiting a new friend .
