Story Lab: How to Make Your Message Make Change hosted by BBMG and NCDSV
On average each of has five "screens" in our lives and we're bombarded with more than 10,000 messages a day (incredible but true). No wonder social entrepreneurs, early-stage brands and non-profits face unique challenges getting their stories heard in today's cluttered, text-happy "culture of interruption."
Learn change-making storytelling by working on a real-world communications challenge in this interactive workshop. You and your fellow Social Good Hub participants will break into teams led by veteran storytellers to create a new prevention campaign for the National Center on Domestic and Sexual Violence. In addition to generating viable concepts that will help end domestic violence and sexual assault, you'll internalize the dynamics of effective brand storytelling and walk with tools you can apply to your organization's marketing communications efforts. It’s time to clarify, simplify and amplify your message.
