Overview
‘In our digital world, “storytelling” has become a marketing buzzword, but many marketers, business leaders and brands have failed to grasp what it means to tell a compelling story and the power it can summon.’
Bryan Adams – Real Business 2016
This two-day Storytelling course has been designed to move away from spreadsheets and statistics in order to highlight the quality of our brand or, in the case of a charity, to inspire compassion and generosity. After all, if bullet points worked, all advertising would be in bullet points.

We also need to consider how we will build the story to keep them engaged.
