The Science of Story: How Brands Can Use Storytelling To Get More CustomersDigital Surgeons
Storytelling is not only an entertaining source for information, but a way to engage and humanize our messages that helps them stick. Our brains are wired for stories. Like a drug, we seek them out. Good stories create lasting emotional connections that persuade, educate, entertain, and convert consumers into brand loyalists.
Here’s another good reason to believe in the power of stories: You don't have a goddamn choice. We spend a third of our waking hours crafting stories, and the rest of the time consuming them. Our brains are always searching for stories. You need stories. You live your life around stories. Your life itself is a story. So, now find out how you can use them to better understand how brands and businesses can use storytelling to increase engagement and sales.

2016 was a ‘meme-ntous’ year. Memes saw people round the world pretend to be mannequins, they impacted the US presidential election, and nearly led the UK government to name a ship “Boaty McBoatface”.
Memes are nothing new: they have been a staple of culture and communications for thousands of years. What is new is the speed with which memes are created, adapted, and spread around the world via social media.
Today, Internet memes are being used to great effect by brands, third-sector organisations and political movements (from the “alt-right” to their far-left alternatives). Opportunities abound for entities who use them well. If you work in communications you need to understand where Internet memes come from, how they work, and how you can use them. This report answers those questions. Enjoy it and get in touch with queries.

Using icons is a great way to add visuals to your presentation. There are many ways to get icons online, some are even free. But if you need a specific icon that you can’t find or if you want a special spin to your icon (color, shadow etc) – you can use PowerPoint’s great (and somewhat hidden) “Merge Shapes” commands to create your own icons.
Using these commands you can combine basic shapes into other shapes. You can union and subtract shapes. You can intersect and combine. All while still working natively inside PowerPoint. Once you have created an icon you can change the color, filling and add shadows as needed.
It is just as fun as building with Lego blocks! Well, almost..
This is a guide in 15 steps showing you how you can use these commands to create your own icon - the example we are using is a calendar icon.

BlaBlaCar is a long distance car sharing community, connecting drivers with empty seats and people looking for a ride. Our website and mobile apps allow drivers to publish a planned journey. Passengers can then search available offers, and get in touch with the driver of their choice.
We provide a range of features to create a secure, reliable, trust-based community and easy connections between drivers and passengers. For instance, members specify how chatty they are on the scale “Bla”, “BlaBla” and “BlaBlaBla”, hence the name BlaBlaCar. Members rate one another after travelling together, allowing them to build trusted reputations in the community, and contact details are verified.
BlaBlaCar is currently used by more than 500,000 people every month across Europe. The community, already numbering 2.5 million members, has been growing rapidly since 2009, in great part due to rising fuel costs and expensive rail fares.

The document discusses the importance of product-market fit for startups. It states that the main reasons startups fail is due to a lack of product-market fit (34%) or marketing problems (22%). Product-market fit means that a product satisfies customer needs in a way that also allows the startup to grow. It involves intuitive value, willingness to deal with friction, enthusiasm from users, and word-of-mouth promotion. Finding product-market fit requires building something users want and iteratively learning what customers need through direct engagement with potential users before fully developing a product.

The Huge Power of Small: Create a Customer Service Experience - Triple Play 2021Antoine Dupont
Slides from my presentation at TriplePlay 2021 in Atlantic City, NJ on December 8, 2021. This was the 1:30 pm session. Enjoy!
Discover the insights & strategies used by more than 226,000 companies worldwide: how to accelerate growth of your business, how to increase customer acquisition and retention by creating a deep connection with them and how to attract and retain employees by giving them an added level of purpose in their day to day responsibilities. These ideas cost nothing to implement (because they’re so small), yet their impact is profound. And best of all, you can put them into action immediately.
When it comes to acquiring and retaining customers, the goal should be to develop strategies that scale efficiently and make the most of every dollar. But to do that, you first need to
understand your target consumers.
So we surveyed 1,800 U.S. consumers, illuminating trends on how they discover new retailers, why they decide to try a retailer, and what convinces them to recommend a retailer to others. From there, we developed strategies and tactics that capitalize on those behaviors to help you maintain a steady flow of new and repeat customers.

Future of advertising - Some thoughts from the present to predict the future ...Agustín Soriano
I was asked to make this presentation for a conference and, despite the topic being really tricky, I've tried to place some bets about the future for agencies and brands. Don't take this really seriously because the future can't be guessed and there is only one prediction that is 100% sure...
The document discusses predictions for the future of advertising from various experts and sources. It notes that while new technologies and platforms will continue emerging, the core importance of creativity will remain. Predictions include brands focusing on entertainment over product promotion; evolving storytelling into immersive experiences; finding authentic purposes beyond promotional messages; embracing trial-and-error through rapid testing; and leveraging cultural insights instead of becoming disconnected from culture. The conclusion emphasizes that overcoming indifference through remarkable creative work is what allows brands to write their own futures rather than just predict them.
Vision Works is an innovative marketing agency that helps businesses promote their messages through movies. They developed this passive but powerful advertising medium in 2007. They challenge barriers to business success by helping marketers become more effective, innovators identify opportunities, and CEOs connect with customers. Their approach focuses on making "vision work movies" instead of writing reports or using elaborate processes.
The document provides 13 principles for providing excellent customer service or "Customer WOW". It begins by emphasizing the importance of customer retention and satisfaction. It then lists the 13 principles which include actively listening to customers, maintaining open communication, quickly resolving issues, putting oneself in the customer's shoes, and learning from complaints. The overall message is that prioritizing outstanding customer experiences leads to greater customer loyalty and business success.

Tim Leake discusses issues affecting trust between agencies and clients based on a survey. Some of the key findings include that while 98% of agencies and clients agree trust leads to great advertising, they don't have as much of it. There is a lack of transparency and many agencies seem more interested in selling their work than solving clients' problems. The document outlines a four point plan for agencies to increase trust by focusing on communication, defining creativity, distinguishing risky from different ideas, and practicing business as much as advertising. Improving relationships requires ongoing work but will lead to better outcomes.

The Impact of Declining Sales on Businesses and the Economy: Resolution through AI Empowerment Profitability Program
In today's volatile economic climate, declining sales have become a significant challenge for businesses across various industries. This downturn affects not only individual companies but also the broader economy, leading to a ripple effect of negative consequences. The AI Empowerment Profitability Program offers a cutting-edge solution to these challenges, providing businesses with the tools they need to stabilize and grow even in the face of economic uncertainty.
The Problem: Declining Sales and Its Broad Impact
Reduced Revenue: As sales decline, businesses experience a direct hit to their revenue streams. This reduction can limit their ability to invest in new products, hire new employees, and maintain operational efficiencies.
Job Losses: Lower sales often lead to cost-cutting measures, including layoffs. This results in higher unemployment rates, which further depresses consumer spending and exacerbates the economic downturn.
Market Instability: Consistent declines in sales can lead to market instability, with businesses struggling to maintain their market positions. This instability can result in increased competition and price wars, further reducing profitability.
Operational Challenges: Businesses facing declining sales may struggle with cash flow issues, making it difficult to cover operational expenses such as rent, utilities, and inventory costs. This can lead to a vicious cycle of debt and financial instability.
Investor Confidence: Persistent sales declines can shake investor confidence, leading to decreased investments and funding opportunities. This can stifle innovation and growth, leaving businesses unable to adapt to changing market conditions.
The Solution: AI Empowerment Profitability Program
The AI Empowerment Profitability Program is designed to address these challenges head-on, leveraging the power of artificial intelligence to boost sales, optimize operations, and enhance profitability.
Enhanced Sales Strategies: AI can analyze vast amounts of data to identify trends, preferences, and buying behaviors. This enables businesses to craft personalized marketing strategies that resonate with their target audience, driving higher conversion rates and sales.
Operational Efficiency: AI tools can streamline operations by automating routine tasks, optimizing supply chains, and improving inventory management. This reduces operational costs and enhances efficiency, allowing businesses to focus on growth and innovation.
Real-Time Insights: AI provides real-time analytics and insights, helping businesses make informed decisions quickly. This agility is crucial in responding to market changes and seizing new opportunities.
Predictive Analytics: By predicting future sales trends and customer behaviors, AI helps businesses plan more effectively. This proactive approach reduces risks and ensures that resources are

Navigate the Narrative Landscape Measuring Change with Stories FiveWhyz.pdfDaniel Walsh
In a world where change and organizational transformation are ever-shifting landscapes, 'Sense-making' and participative narrative inquiry emerge as fit-for-purpose methods to guide leaders at every level through the fog. This session delves into the art of detecting weak signals and understanding the dynamics and patterns of organizations through the lived experiences shared by individuals.
Sense-making is a participatory form of ethnography. Individuals share personal experiences or observations and enrich these narratives by answering targeted questions, adding depth and layers of meaning. This method uniquely marries hard data with soft, qualitative insights. It inherently reduces bias, as participants, rather than external analysts, interpret and code their own stories. This approach not only lends authenticity to the data but also ensures that real-life stories, supported by data, are at the forefront of driving culture change and measuring progress.
The power of these narratives, especially when they reveal consistent patterns supported by quantitative evidence, is undeniable. They offer a detailed, multifaceted view, aiding leaders in spotting trends and behaviors within their organizations. By analyzing a broad collection of such narratives, organizations can detect subtle changes and inform targeted actions, making sense-making an invaluable tool for understanding complex systems and guiding interventions.
In this workshop, we'll learn how to apply sense-making and narrative inquiry methods to identify patterns and measure change. Additionally, we'll share how participants can leverage this same approach within their organizations as part of a retrospective or as a way to measure progress for a transformation.
