"Leading with story" means putting the human, emotional, and narrative side of your brand front and center. Rather than focusing solely on your brand’s visual identity (like your logo, colours, or typography), you highlight your origin, purpose, journey, and mission to connect with your audience.
In a market flooded with perfect visuals, it's authenticity and emotion that truly stand out. Studies in neuroscience show that people remember stories far more than data or design. A strong narrative triggers empathy, creates relatability, and fosters trust.
Your story creates depth, it reveals your "why," makes your audience care, and gives your brand staying power beyond trends. This emotional connection is especially crucial for athletes, creatives, and entrepreneurs looking to build community and long-term brand loyalty.
At 30&9, we help you shape your unique narrative and weave it into your entire brand strategy. Whether through copywriting, content ideation, or social storytelling, we ensure your audience knows why you do what you do, not just what you offer.
