Survival hinges on replication and evolution. This is the basal theme in all I’ve learned while writing this green marketing blog over the past 16 months.
You see it everywhere in nature. Rabbits replicate, Platypus evolve.
Powerful brands replicate their impact and evolve with the environment and their customers.
Great stories become legend and lore, as each teller adds nuance and exaggeration to create greater drama and make the story their own.
To help insure my survival, I’ve evolved my green marketing blog. I used to call it, “A Brighter Shade of Green Marketing.” But as my knowledge of the industry has expanded, I’ve found “Green marketing” to be too limiting.
This is why you now see “Sustainable Storyteller” after my name instead of the green marketing tagline. I am exploring the ways green marketers, chief marketing officers, chief sustainability officers, and all those interested in making a difference in this world, can tell more compelling stories online and off that are worth sharing.
How a Sustainable Storyteller Insures his own Survival?
I suppose I am insuring my own legacy through replication and evolution. Meet our son, Parker Howell. He is currently in final sound design in preparation for the premier of his senior thesis film, “The Last Man Standing” in the Marion Knott Studios at Chapman University Dodge College of Film & Media Arts on May 8. the logline reads:
“Private Kurt Phillips is trapped below ground in a self-sustaining nuclear missile silo with no contact from the outside world. His future looks bleak until another soldier in similar circumstances, Johnny Converse, breaks in. The only problem is that Johnny’s been in isolation for a long time and his brain isn’t quite firing on all cylinders. Kurt has to get past Johnny’s dementia before either can mount an escape.” Running time: 19 minutes
Parker is evolving into a terrific storyteller in many dimensions. He wrote and directed “The Last Man Standing,” created the motion graphics in the film, and art directed the sets and movie poster campaign.
BTW, Diversity is another important attribute for survival.
Welcome to the world of story, Parker. It’s a wonderful place to live.
If you’re interested in seeing his premiere online, I will be happy to post the link to the live stream. Just let me know below.
