About the event
As the Fourth Industrial Revolution rapidly changes how people live, work, and communicate, the human currency of storytelling has never been more important, nor the tools more varied. This full-day course is designed to help communicators apply story-led thinking to help their organisation cut through the noise and connect with and activate key audiences to deliver measurable outcomes.
We will explore how we can utilise and combine new technologies to build powerful new narratives, create immersive and interactive experiences, and deepen engagement and advocacy. Participants will work together in small groups to design purposeful story pathways and experiment with 360 film, audio soundscapes and 3D data visualisation.
Who should attend?
The course is aimed at professional communicators from the private, public and third sectors – including those working in external relations, public engagement, marketing, public relations, change management and CSR – and anyone with an interest in innovative storytelling.
