STORYTELLING: HOW TO REALLY CONNECT WITH CUSTOMERS

 

Brian Mac Intyre returns to DLR's Enterprise Week with his deepdive into how stories can help solve your business problems... specifically around building customer loyalty and even promoting staff buy-ins for in-house projects.

 

This fun and practical workshop, developed over several years, trumpets the underrated power of storytelling to really get your message across.

 

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.

This workshop is being delivered by Brian Mac Intyre.
