HOW STORIES CAN BOOST YOUR BOTTOM LINE WORKSHOP

​

This workshop is a deep dive into how stories can help solve your business problems…. specifically around customer engagement and even staff buy-ins for in-house projects. Topics covered include: 

  • How stories work, why we tell them and why they’re among the most persuasive forms of communication. Also why we rely on them so much. 

  • The Neuroscience of what happens to your brain while listening to stories, and the three chemicals that have a crucial role to play in this regard. 

  • The shape of stories, the role of emotion, themes and a handful of other elements that make for great content marketing and ads that truly connect with customers. 

  • Examples of great online content marketing and viral ads for top brands using storytelling techniques passed down the ages from the Ancient Greeks all the way to Hollywood. 

  • We put all that we have learned to the test by creating immersive content for our own website articles and/or an engaging in-house ad.
