Description

Digital has put storytelling into everyone’s hands and there are hundreds of thousands of “storytellers” on social media platforms. However, hundreds of thousands of such stories are seldom seen, heard, or shared. Why?

Individuals and brands that only focus on digital publishing miss the storytelling sweet spot by a mile. This results in low credibility, shallow insights, or even inauthentic experiences. Sounds familiar? Content marketing sorely needs a robust foundation like no other. Vishwas Anand has coined the philosophy of “contentworthiness” in a post-truth digital world. What creditworthiness has built over time, contentworthiness can destroy in no time!

The secret lies in embracing the power of differentiated storytelling for thought leadership.

Content marketing must cut through the noise and evolve into thought leadership to make the best voices heard, seen, and shared. A cumulative storytelling advantage with painstaking consistency will help you understand what works and what doesn’t with practice, persistence, and a keen sense of learning.

In this one-of-a-kind Masterclass, you will learn from a multi-award-winning thought leadership marketing leaderhow to create stories that shape and reshape your thinking, recognize untapped ideas, and take them to market for a true return on innovation.
