Storytelling
One of the things I love about the natural world, is its diversity and the countless forms in which it presents itself. To give you some examples, lyrebirds imitate any natural or humanmade sound they hear, brightly coloured flowers attract bees for their pollination, and otherwise solitary tigers perform elaborate courtship rituals in order to mate. Nature has given everything a unique way of engaging with its environment. The same goes for us humans and for your organization.
Discover your storytelling style
I believe we all have our own story to tell and our own way of telling it. With my help, you will discover a storytelling style that feels natural and authentic to you. This is not necessarily the most obvious or widely used style. For example, if you are not into social media and dread having to use it, we can look into a variety of alternatives. Maybe you are in your element making podcasts, giving real-life presentations, networking, or doing some good old-fashioned cold calling. In any case, we will find the right storytelling style for you.
Consistent repetition of your brand story
Once we have discovered your storytelling style, you will need a content strategy. This strategy provides a framework for content creation. Because if there is one thing that drives powerful brand storytelling, it is high-quality content and lots of it. With consistent repetition of your story with this content, your value proposition will find its way into the right people’s hearts.
