Storytelling and content for brands
Intrigue, inform and entertain your audience with brand stories and content that speaks to their wants and needs with this three-day course.
Every brand has a story to tell, and no one can resist a well-told story. Learn the secrets of compelling storytelling from journalists and writers who know how to hook people with words and pictures. We’ll help you brainstorm content that highlights your brand’s unique offering and tease out powerful, meaningful stories from within your organisation. Then, we’ll show you how to turn those stories into visually stunning articles, videos and social media posts that tug at people’s heart strings or provoke them to action. Learn how to catch (and hold) your audience’s interest, and how to make your content specifically useful to them. Write punchy, persuasive text. Leave your audience with an unforgettable brand experience.
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:
- Understand the foundations of powerful stories
- Develop a storytelling strategy for your brand
- Identify the stories worth telling
- Create killer storyboards to guide your content creation
- Write tight, engaging copy
- Innovate with style and format
- Influence public perception of your brand through storytelling
