Why Successful Brands Invest in Storytelling: Lessons from Pixar Veteran Matthew Luhn
What do the world's most beloved animated films and today’s top-performing brands have in common? They understand the importance and craft of storytelling.
In this episode, Lydia Chan is joined by Matthew Luhn, a master storytelling consultant and advisor to Fortune 500 brands. Matthew is a Pixar veteran who worked on beloved classics like Toy Story, Monsters Inc, and Finding Nemo. Now he advises businesses on how the mechanics of great storytelling translate directly into business impact.
Matthew breaks down why your customer should be the hero of your business story, not your company, and shares the three scientific reasons why stories work so effectively in business. He discusses the biggest mistakes companies make when attempting storytelling and his views on AI technology's impact to storytelling.
This conversation also covers practical frameworks for hooking audiences, creating authentic connections, and why storytelling requires iteration rather than a checkbox approach. Tune in to hear why, in any medium or market, the best story always wins.
