What makes a good story? Is it the happy ending? Maybe it’s the valuable lessons, or the hilarious, unexpected plot twists. But what makes a story just that — a shareable, captivating narrative — is the experience it describes. It’s the who, what, where, when, and how. It’s the tale of what happened.

As marketers, we love good stories. We seek to tell them through the messages and content we put out there. But while we’re great at telling those stories, what we don’t do nearly enough of is creating them. And that’s where experiential marketing comes in.
