Advertising - It’s All About Telling a Story

by Stuart Livesey

The experts will tell you that good advertising is all about telling a story. Obviously it’s a story that you have to tell in as few a words as possible.

The really short advertising stories are the ones you see on billboards. Some are a waste of space because they’re simply not focused enough or use way too many words and images to tell the story.

Others absolutely nail the message in just a couple of words.

What more could you ask for?
