Last fall, hundreds of senior marketers from leading global brands flocked to Storynomics seminars in the US and Europe. When top business and marketing professionals attend the seminar they not only learn the essentials of story design, but how to create a telling that enriches their narrative branding strategies and delivers market reach. In recent years, Storynomics has helped organizations as diverse as Microsoft, Nike, Hewlett-Packard, Kraft, BOLDT, Church & Dwight Co, Inc., Costa Del Mar, UBISOFT, Mercedes-Benz, and Siemens develop their evolving narrative game plans. 

“Marketers think they tell story, but most don’t,” said McKee. “Instead, marketers offer limp lists of bragging and promising, clichéd promotions that lack dynamic suspense, surprise, and persuasive power. The marketing revolution exploded yesterday. It’s time businesses put Storynomics to work…because if they don’t, their competitors will.”

Registration opens now and early-bird pricing for all seminars reaches through February 21st. For more information on Storynomics visit: www.storynomics.com or contact [email protected].
