People don’t remember ads. They remember stories. From Dubai’s luxury brands to Kuwait’s startups, storytelling is what transforms casual viewers into loyal followers.

Neuroscience backs it up. Stories activate more parts of the brain than data or visuals alone. They make people feel, not just scroll.
2️⃣ The Formula of a Great Brand Story
Every powerful story follows three parts:
-
The Hook: Capture attention in 3 seconds.
-
The Conflict: Show the problem your audience relates to.
-
The Resolution: Introduce your product as the solution.
