The strongest brands are built on stories only they can tell.

In this session, Marianne Olaleye will show you how to find and tell your unique brand story – the kind that makes people remember you, choose you, root for you and talk about you in the group chat.

You'll learn practical storytelling habits you can apply immediately to your website, social media, pitches and customer conversations.

Whether you're just starting out or looking to sharpen your messaging, this session will give you a clear framework to make your brand more compelling.

Topics covered in this session

  • Why storytelling gives businesses a competitive advantage (and how to find the story only you can tell)
  • The three brand storytelling habits that turn customers into advocates
  • A simple framework to make your brand messaging more compelling and memorable
