Storytelling

An effective way of presenting information that when done well, can be much more personable, entertaining & memorable than a traditional marketing message. Stories engage the brain at multiple levels & can reel in an audience that otherwise might not be interested. Each part of the story should be strategic & correlate to your sales message. The narrative could be real, fictional or a combination of both.
