Welcome to this episode of the NerdBrand Podcast. Once upon a time, there were three men who started an ad agency in the middle of a pandemic…oh, wait, wrong story! To us, Everything is an Ad, and within every ad there is a story to be told behind it to promote that product, service, or cause. Storytelling When human civilization was developing well over tens of thousands of years ago, storytelling was an intrinsic part of human culture. It was primarily an oral tradition, where stories were passed down through generations verbally. These stories served as a means of entertainment, education, cultural preservation, and communication of experiences and knowledge. Storytelling evolved in various forms, including oral narratives, written literature, theater, film, and now digital media. It continues to be a fundamental aspect of human communication and creative expression.ABOUT NERDBRANDNerdBrand is a national branding and advertising agency based in Louisville, KY.
