One way for organizations to distinguish themselves from others is to create a story and build their marketing around that story. This is called Corporate storytelling and has today become a prosperous strategy for many companies and organizations around the world. Corporate storytelling is a marketing strategy that in many ways create a positive feeling, but at the same time it is conveying an image of society through the unexpressed that the advertising basically rest on. The purpose of this study is to analyze the online community Airbnbs use of Corporate storytelling using a multimodal critical discourse analysis. I study three of Airbnbs “community stories”. The conclusion of this study is showing that the stories are composed of typical narrative tools, and that they use a language that creates an equalistic dialog with the viewer. Furthermore the results show that there exist differences in how the stories create the man and the women.
