Brand and Brand Storytelling

Intermediate

Summary
Join the market leaders who understand how to use ‘brand’ and ‘brand story’ as a new way of thinking and to revolutionise the impact and results of any PR activity and your writing. Every brand has a story to tell. You can tell yours better to achieve a competitive advantage. Transform your communications by understanding how brand and brand storytelling work to make communications more distinctive, compelling and authentic. It shows how to deliver Big Multi-Channel Ideas, in your news stories and social media campaigns. The course develops your craft as a brand storyteller and how to create brand platforms to create harder-working Content Marketing programmes. PR people have been telling and writing stories for years - but for the most part, they have been churning out ‘immediate news stories’. Now, more than ever, you need to deliver more: Brand + Brand Stories + Brand Platforms = Outstanding Results.
