Hence, it is no surprise to see this being one of the biggest buzzwords in recent times. So here are four tips to help businesses create powerful brand storytelling. 

1. Have a unique brand story

Your brand story is only as good as your brand value. So think of your story like your individual identity. Who are you? Where do you come from? What are some of your beliefs? All these questions help shape a brand’s identity. 

The key here is to be honest with the answers to the questions because a false statement will be reflected in your identity and people will be able to see through it. After all, the last thing you want is to be fake. Hence, always remember it pays to be truthful.

South Korean Filmmaker Bong Joon-ho Breaks the Highest Ceiling At the 92nd Academy Awards

South Korean Filmmaker,  Bong Joon-ho shattered the highest ceiling at the 92nd The Academy Awards!

Thank you. After winning best international feature, I thought I was done for the day and was ready to relax.
Thank you so much. When I was young and studying cinema, there was a saying that I carved deep into my heart, which is that "The most personal is the most creative."
That quote is from our great Martin Scorsese. When I was in school, I studied Martin Scorsese's films. Just to be nominated was a huge honor. I never thought I would win.
When people in the U.S. were not familiar with my films, Quentin [Tarantino] always put my films on his list. He's here, thank you so much. Quentin, I love you.
And Todd [Phillips] and Sam [Mendes], great directors that I admire. If the Academy allows, I would like to get a Texas chainsaw, split the award into five and share it with all of you.
Thank you. I will drink until next morning, thank you.

It was an historic Sunday night of February 9, 2020 at the 92nd Academy Awards held in Dolby Theatre at the Hollywood & Highland Center, honouring the best films released in 2019.
