Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Storytelling
Klaus Fog · 2009
76/100
👍 Worth It
Fog and co-authors make a convincing case that brand storytelling is not a soft add-on but a structural business necessity, and the LEGO, Nike, and Carlsberg case studies give practitioners concrete models to work from. The ROI evidence is thin and some examples are aging, but as a practical framework for building a core brand story this remains one of the cleaner texts in the field.
