They are also a brand built with a purpose and great example of how to use the power of video storytelling to drive growth.When 2-year-old Jackson Reamer was struck down with a sudden, inexplicable illness that stopped him from being able to walk, made eating painful and sleep difficult the doctors had no answers.As Scott and Megan Reamer searched for answers to their son\u2019s illness they discovered that changing Jackson\u2019s diet to eliminate refined sugars, remove man-made fats and replace them with natural, healthy fats such as coconut oil helped make his symptoms disappear and stabilize his health.\u201cWe discovered there are fats that harm,” says Scott, and fats that heal.\u201d After experimenting with recipes that used natural fats and non-genetically modified (GMO) potatoes the Reamer\u2019s were able to create a healthy snack that tasted great and didn\u2019t make Jackson sick. This is how Jackson\u2019s Honest Potato Chips were born.Making the chips from their kitchen in Crested Butte the Reamers found that their friends, family and neighbors all loved them. As demand grew they soon began searching for more locally grown non-GMO potatoes, coconut oil suppliers and partners to help them make and distribute their snack.Introduced to the Narrator Group through a distributor, the family explored the idea of video storytelling as a way to build interest from investors, sales people, grocery buyers and consumers.The video, which is just over 6-minutes long, is a heart-tugging struggle of a mother and family searching to find help for their sick child. It\u2019s also an inspiring tale of how something tragic can turn into something positive.In 2013 The Narrator Group created the video story of Jackson\u2019s Honest Chips and entered it into Intuit\u2019s Super Bowl Commercial Contest where it finished in the top 20 out of 40,000 entries. This exposure, combined with using the video at Natural Foods conferences, caught the attention of retailers like Whole Foods and Vitamin Cottage where Jackson\u2019s Honest Chips are now sold.This content is hosted by a third party ( player.vimeo.com ).To view the content, either update your cookie preferences or view it in a new browser window.Cookie PreferencesNew WindowJackson’s Honest Chips from The Narrator Group on Vimeo.\u201cPeople are hard-wired for story,\u201d says Jay Sunny, Executive Creative Director for Narrator Group. \u201cWhen you stop trying to advertise, and start storytelling, a funny thing happens \u2013 you win over people\u2019s hearts and minds.\u201dEvery brand is a great story just waiting to be told.
