DESCRIPTION

Re-Imagine Marketing through Authentic Storytelling Search algorithms change. Social networks evolve and sometimes fizzle away. One thing that isn’t going anywhere is the consumer’s need for relevant, educational, compelling and helpful information. The brands that feed this need -- in the most relevant manner -- will have the most customers, advocates and will make the most money! This interactive session - led by IMA Master Storyteller and Executive Council Member Christoph Trappe - shares how you’ll steer your marketing projects toward digital excellence by sharing authentic stories that align consumers with your business goals. It will help your organization stay relevant with today’s and tomorrow’s connected consumers.
