Tell Me More: Positioning and storytelling to make your business unforgettable

  • Maritime Heritage Centre Campbell River, BC Canada (map)

You have a few seconds to catch someone's attention with your story. And a minute to get them to the holy grail - leaning forward and asking you to tell them more

That sort of powerful communication doesn't happen by accident. It takes skills. 

Marc Stoiber will teach you those skills. Formerly a writer and creative director at ad agencies around the world, Stoiber helps founders pitch and build brands that dramatically enhance the value of their company. 

His Tell Me More workshop will first teach you how to position your company, then wrap that positioning in a storyline that is captivating. 

Join Marc for Tell Me More.
