  • The Power of the Story: Why Brand Storytelling is the Answer to Your

    Marketing Needs

    Eric Davis FLM Harvest

    Today, marketing is data driven, delivered by faceless algorithms to a consumer’s customized news feed. Yet, 92% of all consumers just want a brand to tell them a story. In a world in which the share of a consumer’s attention is now a premium, how can a small business – or even a large brand – earn their attention? The solution: Brand storytelling – giving a human face and voice to your organization through honest, emotional stories that connect with consumers at the deepest level. This session will show you: • Practical tips on how your organization can more effectively market to your audience by telling the story of your brand. • Case studies of effective brand storytelling from organizations large and small. • How you can weave brand storytelling consistently through PR, email marketing, website, video, online search, social media, online ads, and more.
