Storytelling. A "novel technique" that is thousands of years old. Hahahaha. What you say is 100% true. I am a public speaking instructor and in fact, I have already published some articles about it here at PH. Stories never get boring. Using them almost guarantees you a good share of initial attention. The rest is up to you.

Other ways that also work are: singing a song, presenting a statistic, starting with a sentence or maxim.

Excellent your article and the way of presenting it. A big hug for you.
