Why Brand Narratives Matter in the Green Revolution
A few years ago, electric vehicles were barely visible in the market, with little presence to create even the slightest shift. But that is no longer the case. Today, most of the vehicles we see on the road have green number plates! We see more charging stations than petrol pumps, as they’re even found in the car porches of buildings and shopping complexes. In fact, you might even see a notification on Zomato saying, ‘Coming to your doorstep in an EV!.’ While Zomato isn’t an EV manufacturer, why are they consistently promoting this shift toward sustainable transportation? Amazon, one of the leading e-commerce giants, is embracing this approach through campaigns like “Alexa, Let’s Get Sustainable,” where they inspire a shift in mindset towards better waste management, helping create a brighter, more sustainable future for all.
As our natural resources continue to deplete, adopting sustainable approaches is critical. Voicing this shift to consumers, and turning sustainable thinking into actual purchases, is as important as bringing the change itself. Amazon’s Climate Pledge Friendly option allows consumers to choose products based on sustainability certifications, and Amazon Renewed offers refurbished electronics, helping reduce e-waste. Through initiatives like these, brands are positioning sustainability as a choice and a necessity.
Reimagining solutions for environmental challenges through innovative design thinking is now essential for brand success. Communication plays a pivotal role in amplifying these efforts, encouraging audiences to adopt greener alternatives. From live-action films to social media campaigns and AR/VR experiences, these mediums serve as powerful bridges between brands’ intentions and their audiences’ hearts and minds.
Let’s explore how brands like Samsung and Lululemon are using animation to bring their sustainability stories to life.
Did you view them as ad campaigns? No, right? You felt them more than you saw them. They were more than just ads; they were emotional experiences. Through storytelling, they showcased the real-world impact of sustainability, making it tangible and relatable. These campaigns did not just promote products; they inspired action by emotionally connecting with the audience.
We at Vivi5 Studios, believe that stories when told well, can bring impactful change in the mindset of the masses. From our Earth Day campaigns that spotlighted individual responsibility to the Ashok Leyland brand film, which communicated the company’s sustainable innovations, our work demonstrates how thoughtful communication can transform mindsets. By blending design thinking, strategic mediums, and compelling storytelling, we enable brands to inspire action and lead the charge toward a sustainable future.
Today’s consumers respond to narratives that align with their aspirations for a sustainable future. This approach influences their habits and societal norms, helping them position their favorite brands as symbols of responsibility and progress, or not. For instance, many EV brands are rapidly leveraging the art of storytelling to inspire a mindset shift toward alternative fuel technologies.
Consider the surge in global EV expos, where attendees are not just looking at vehicles but are immersing themselves in a vision of the future. These events are opportunities to showcase vehicles and platforms to present a compelling vision of the future. Content that resonates with aspirations can transform visitors into loyal advocates. One such globally acclaimed event is the upcoming Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, a key stage for spotlighting advancements and inspiring change in sustainable mobility.
We are all now part of this sustainability wave, gaining much-deserved momentum across various sectors. At Vivi5 Studios, we help your brand to not just join the revolution but stand out uniquely in the race with creative solutions. And as Malcolm X aptly said, “The future belongs to those who prepare for it today”
