Make your stories newsworthy
• Can you sum up your story into one declarative sentence with a verb?
(Margot Sanger-Katz)
• Tap into existing storylines: re-use during relevant times

MomsRising: Harnessing the Power of Storytelling

![Page 17: Demonstrating Medicaid’s Value Through Storytelling › ... › GMMB-storytelling-webinar_final_8.8.… · Storytelling 22. A Year of Focused Story Collection 23. Leverage digital](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060320/5f0d14937e708231d43894d8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Be thoughtful in your approach
• This. Is. Personal.
• Draw on your own experiences when
talking with people
• Lift up an intersection of people:
reach those who don’t have the
privilege of reaching out to you
• Remember that no one lives in a
single issue area
17
![Page 18: Demonstrating Medicaid’s Value Through Storytelling › ... › GMMB-storytelling-webinar_final_8.8.… · Storytelling 22. A Year of Focused Story Collection 23. Leverage digital](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060320/5f0d14937e708231d43894d8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Find a formula that works for you
• Build storytelling into everything you do
• To get a story, share a story
• Keep in mind: one person with a story knows 10 people with a story
• Localize your story collection
• Consider targeted Facebook buys

Cover the bases
• Prep your
storyteller
• Know their
general views on
your issues
• Make sure you
have permissions
from all parties

Keep it up
• Think of how to extend your
stories beyond their current
format
• Fights are cyclical: stay in
touch
• With the right storyteller, the
same story never gets old

Storytelling from the Ground Up

Lay the groundwork for a process
• Work through existing field teams and networks
• Leverage existing sites and processes
• Establish workgroups
• Enlist partners who will push back
34
![Page 35: Demonstrating Medicaid’s Value Through Storytelling › ... › GMMB-storytelling-webinar_final_8.8.… · Storytelling 22. A Year of Focused Story Collection 23. Leverage digital](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060320/5f0d14937e708231d43894d8/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Aim for authenticity
• Push beyond third person
• Strive for video content (but
keep a backup option)
• Always co-create
• Recognize opportunities for
people to empower themselves
• Remember: this isn’t a story, it’s
a person

Be strategic

through to new/less engaged
partners

Be willing to take it slow
• Invest in relationship-building
• Incorporate relational vetting
• Be respectful, not transactional
• It’s not a race to the finish: it’s
about telling thoughtful stories
• Consider soft launch
