The Importance of Storytelling in Web Design, WordCamp Miami 2013Denise Jacobs
What if we strengthened our creations for the web by building them upon a foundation of Story? Let's explore the growing importance of storytelling in web design, how to communicate Story through all aspects of a website from content, to design, to ux; and how to apply key components of great storytelling in literature to the medium of the web.
"Storytelling for Presentations" was a short lesson I developed for my online Professional Communication and Presentation course. How do you teach storytelling in your presentation class?
The attention of the consumer has changed, so why hasn't the attention of the marketers? Learn to communicate with your consumers like the year that it actually is...
This presentation explains the most well-known universal narrative structures or plots. It goes into detail with the so-called 'disneyfication pots' and refers to Propp's plot theory but has one key message: it's about having an angle!

One of the key elements in bringing value through content marketing relates to the substance you put in your content and stories. But what values are actually valuable in this respect? This keynote makes a non-exhaustive list of content values.
This presentation demonstrates why marketing people should avoid working with personas and instead do everything they can to understand and service real people.
Canvas used for structuring initial contentmarketing actions through interactive workshops. This tool is based upon the Business Model Canvas because I believe every business needs to add a publishing / broadcasting business model to their core business.
