Their ecommerce portal features the World of Dannijo blog. With subsections like Style,
Health & Beauty, Motherhood, and Danni & Jo, it’s a one-stop shop for their products,
stories, brand, and adventures.
And just a few months ago, they released a series of television commercials showcasing real
Goodlife members sharing their stories or transformation and motivation. The
#ChangeYourStory proved very popular for the fitness chain, and inspired many others to
change their own story, too.
So, what motive has Goodlife cracked in bringing people to the gym?
RELATABILITY
MINNETONKA
• Minnetonka has been producing quality, comfortable
footwear since 1946. It’s a “quintessential American brand” –
an ideology the company has lived up to and remained true
to throughout its history, even as the company has gone
international. Today they trade in 50 countries worldwide.
It continues with a short article that illustrates a key component of the brand: the quality of the
products and materials used to make them.
And no savvy digital marketing campaign would be complete without a healthy dose of user-
generated content. The #MyMinnetonka gallery allows customers to upload and share how they
make Minnetonka’s styles their own. Real people, real stories.
The stories continue onto Minnetonka’s blog, where stories are organised under Culture, DIY,
Style, and Heritage with a liberal sprinkling of everyday tales of adventure in which Minnetonka
shoes have a starring role.
The main material? Plant-based cellulose acetate. The personal touch? Every pair is
assembled and polished by hand.
FEEL GOOD
BURT’S BEES
• Burt’s Bees sells a huge range of natural
bodycare products (350 at last count, but if
nothing else, you’re probably familiar with their
Beeswax Lip Balm).
The stories the company tells seep through onto social media, in particular YouTube. It uses
video to educate consumers not only about the Burt’s Bees brand, but also about one of
the key ingredients in the brand’s success: the bees.
Their 2018 sustainability report shows the good, the bad, and the ugly on their way to their
2020 goals. The company is proud of the ingredients it uses and the products it makes, and it
shows. Burt’s uses storytelling as a mechanism to help customers buy into the company’s
philosophy: that we should treat our skin, and the world we live in, with care.
TRANSPARENCY
NIKE
• Nike has understood and has been leveraging the
power of great storytelling longer than most
people have been online. In 1999, the brand
released a one-minute “commercial” that
commemorated the career of Michael Jordan.
• Windrunner Jackets
And yet Nike doesn’t just tell its own stories: the company is pretty passionate about giving
others a voice, as well.
