Creativity, Technology, And The Future Of Storytelling

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Core components the way we need to think. We need to think different.
  2. As a brand, our natural instinct is to talk about ourselves. Customers are asking questions, they want to be informed and entertained, but we can’t just do that because that’s just charity. So the way we balance is make your customers the hero of the story. Take your brand out. How do you do that? You solve their problems at every stage of the journey.
