Loved this Ad from Uber and can't help but reflect on what is commonly said about attention spans, and how people supposedly don't watch more than 15 seconds of posts. Yet, this ad lasts more than 3 minutes, and I enjoyed it all.
In an increasingly competitive world, capturing the attention of consumers is critical yet challenging. Regardless of the length of the video or message, one fundamental principle ensures sustained consumer interest - a well told story.
People are naturally drawn to stories. We connect with them, engage with them, and more often than not, we find ourselves in them. This is the magic of storytelling, a magic that, when woven into marketing campaigns, can create memorable experiences, stimulating both thought and emotion.
A skillfully narrated story can make us forget we are even being marketed to. Far beyond just selling a product or service, it sells an experience, it sells a feeling and, occasionally, it sells a new viewpoint.
In essence, no matter how long your video or how detailed your campaign, if you've got a captivating story to tell, your consumers will undoubtedly watch and engage.
Food for thought - investing in honing storytelling skills can bring high returns. A good story, well told, is worth the consumer's time.
Robert De Niro and Asa Butterfield connect over their love of ‘eating food and going places’ in this touching film for Uber One.
