Storytelling is undoubtedly a powerful tool in human communication. Iconic brands have been using stories as a great way to convey their values and what they stand for. The packaging choices indicate what type of brand they are. For the brand to have a great impact, its story should be built based on clear values that are embedded within its core.

The more stories are told about the brand that supports its values, the more they will nurture the brand’s core story, which in turn helps to ensure the consistency of its messages, thus differentiating it from competitors.
