The Power Of Stories

“There’s nothing more powerful in the world than a good story”. That line probably sounds familiar if you have been a fan of the fantasy mega-hit Game of Thrones. The statement still stands strong even if you’ve never heard it before. So, let’s talk about the power of Stories; not just any story, but Instagram Stories.

About a decade ago, very few would have seen Instagram developing into the massive fan-favourite it is today. In the present day, nothing represents or epitomizes that meteoric rise more than a feature within the app itself: Stories.
