Background of the study
Integrated digital storytelling has emerged as a powerful tool for shaping and reinforcing brand identity, particularly for creative startups. In Kano, creative startups are harnessing the power of narrative-driven digital content—such as videos, blogs, and social media stories—to differentiate themselves in a competitive market. This study investigates how digital storytelling, when integrated across various online platforms, can create a compelling and coherent brand identity that resonates with target audiences. By combining visual elements, authentic narratives, and interactive content, creative startups can communicate their brand values and unique propositions effectively (Hassan, 2023; Suleiman, 2024). The use of digital storytelling enables startups to build an emotional connection with consumers, fostering greater brand loyalty and engagement. However, challenges such as content consistency, production costs, and audience segmentation persist. This research explores the methods and impact of integrated digital storytelling on brand identity, providing insights into best practices for creative startups seeking to establish a strong market presence in the digital era (Bello, 2025).

Despite leveraging various online platforms, inconsistencies in narrative and visual content can lead to a diluted brand message that fails to capture consumer interest. The lack of integration in storytelling strategies often results in missed opportunities to build a cohesive brand image, thereby affecting customer engagement and loyalty. This study aims to identify the critical challenges in implementing integrated digital storytelling and evaluate its impact on brand identity for creative startups (Hassan, 2023; Suleiman, 2024).
