You’ll Learn:

  • Why Park pivoted from a 20+ year career in advertising to focus solely on his brand storytelling platform Business of Story.
  • The epiphany Park had when he realized he had bought into the wrong story and what he did about it.
  • Why Park believes storytelling is timeless, regardless of technology.
  • The key ingredients that make up a compelling story.

  

3 Key Points:

  1. Don’t live into anybody else’s story but your own.
  2. Content marketing that doesn’t tell a story that truly connects with people misses the point.
  3. Share a human experience in the business point you are trying to make within your copy.
