In the lecture I describe these basic stories as well as four storytelling methods that advertisers should use to overcome the major challenges advertisers face.

So, how does it work?

We will go through a program made up of 6 steps that you will need to implement in order to build a unique experience and create an emotional connection between your team, your product and grow trust and loyalty with your customers.
The methodology will help you understand how to include the purpose of your product in each and every feature
