the power of story

Break through the clutter of a crowded global marketplace? 

​Connect with consumers on a deeper level? 

​Build a tribe of brand advocates and repeat customers?​​

​Get buy-in for key initiatives within your organization?

After spending over a decade bringing stories to life as speaker, writer and marketer at Fortune 500 companies, I’m here to show you the easy way to create stories that connect, build credibility, and boost market share. 

It’s Time to Approach your audience Differently

Consumers are inundated with as many as 10,000 marketing messages every single day, so they’re highly selective about what messages they listen to.

 

To get their attention, you’ll need a unique, authentic message that shows you understand them and their needs. Enter: the power of story.

why story?

Stories are one of the most powerful forces on the planet to shift mindset, beliefs and behavior. 

Stories are Memorable

  • According to psychologist Jerome Bruner, facts are 20 times more likely to be remembered if they’re part of a story.

​​

Stories are Influential

  • Audiences are known to shift behaviors and attitudes when they see a relatable character making the same change.

​​

Stories Create Connection

  • Stories create an emotional connection between the storyteller and story listener that facts and figures never will.
