Thus, this article aims to analyze the use of storytelling in the construction of brand identity, presenting a case study of the Portuguese shoes brand Josefinas. The company has a valuable position in the luxury market and develops the "sabrinas", inspired by ballet shoes, as well as moccasins, sandals, slippers and accessories. For this, the research used a qualitative and exploratory approach, verifying that the Josefinas identity was developed with storytelling as a starting point, strongly using this strategy in all online channels.
