Gaston Legorburu: “We’re changing the way the world works”
Campaign.UK, James Swift
April 15, 2016
Ahead of his D&AD Festival appearance, Gaston Legorburu talks to James Swift about the thinking behind Storyscaping and why the industry needs to get on board.
Gaston Legorburu, along with Darren McColl, in 2014 co-wrote Storyscaping, a book on marketing in the digital age. Before long, he’d learned that his book had made The New York Times’ bestsellers list. Shortly after that, he realised that “you can never make money by writing a book, no matter how successful it is”. As such, Legorburu remains in his day job as Publicis.Sapient’s chief creative strategist.

Newhouse Syracuse University: Book Review
Communictions @ Syracuse, Jennifer Dutcher

Think of the last story you told out loud. Was it about your own experience? If so, you’re not alone, but you’re also part of a segment being underutilized by marketers and advertisers.
“Part of our thesis is that this experience element is incredibly powerful and often underleveraged,” write Gaston Legorburu and Darren McColl in Storyscaping. The goal, they say, is for your “brand, product, or service [to] become part of [your] customer’s story”—rather than the other way around.

With the increase in technological options and channels, stories remain relevant today as they ever have. Stories are hardwired into the human brain. Darren McColl, global chief brand strategy officer at SapientNitro, explained, “A lot of this is instinctive. Stories are the structure. Stories are how we make sense of the world and our place within it.” McColl highlighted the importance of storytelling and crafting tales for our audiences at the iMedia Agency Summit. ”

SXSW Interactive has not long begun and both have talks to lead in the days ahead as part of the event that the Publicis-owned digital group is usually out in force for.
We are here to discuss how they see the evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the continuance of digital convergence affecting creativity and brand storytelling.
