Communicating a Brand's Story with Shannon W Williams
You know how powerful story is in marketing. You’ve heard it before I’m sure, that storytelling allows for deeper levels of communication and connection than any other form of marketing.
But for many brands and businesses I believe there is still a real struggle in working out how to find, and communicate their brand's story in a way that actually connects with their ideal audience and leads to tangible business results.
So in today’s episode I’ve invited brand storyteller, and creative agency owner Shannon W Williams to the show to talk about just that.
Shannon W. Williams is the Principal and Lead Creative at 10 SPEED Studios - a boutique creative and brand development firm based in Columbus, OH, USA - serving the solopreneur and small business.
