Brands are using content to connect with their audience in ways we never thought possible. Visual storytelling is now the cornerstone of brand communication, but are you getting it right?
Story Times - The art and science of storytelling on October 2 will be a celebration of how tech and creativity are propelling visual storytelling to new horizons.
We’re opening the afternoon with a discussion on how storytelling will shape the future of marketing, and how the future will shape our stories. Our panelists will shine a spotlight on how the industry – and culture as a whole – is at the frontier of something genuinely new when it comes to new content models. It will also explore how marketers could be missing out on lucrative ROI opportunities by not leveraging their visual creative power, preparing you to launch the most creative visual campaigns of your career.
An inspiring session with photographers and creatives will take a look at storytelling through images and while being at the frontline, and how the world of advertising can learn from this.
The event will kick off with a networking lunch. The afternoon will be jam packed with an exploration into the creative process, the importance of images in the future of advertising, and a deep dive into the metrics and measurement of a good story. This is not one to be missed.
