Who is the storyteller? What is effective or practical
to record or report the storyline and subject material?
Blog ? Twitter? Website? Video? Audio?
Stories = important > they shape your Org’s online
presence > draw people closer to your Org… or push
them away.
Effective storytelling = engaged audience

#1 importance:
> digital storytelling is you telling your story.
You will:

what you are doing, people that will engage with
you and are interested in your Org.

to your cause they will connect much better than
those that aren't really interested in what you
