Boston, Massachusetts, July 27, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Robert McKee, best-selling author and world-renowned story authority, and Tom Gerace, CEO of Skyword, a leading content marketing technology and services company, announced their Fall StorynomicsTM seminars, which will take place in New York City and, for the first time, San Francisco. These seminars come on the heels of sold-out Storynomics Boston in June.
“San Francisco and Silicon Valley are hubs of creativity and innovation,” said McKee. “If creatives there can infuse the art of storytelling with their product innovation, the impact on the lives of their customers and the world will be exponentially greater.”
Gerace added, “Today’s marketers struggle in a world of declining trust and connection. Bragging and promising no longer work. To stand out, brands must connect with their customers both emotionally and logically. Storynomics delivers exactly that.”
At the Storynomics Seminar, business and marketing professionals will learn why story sticks to the human mind, the essentials of story design and how to tell stories that enrich their branding strategies and deliver market reach. In recent years, Storynomics has helped organizations as diverse as Microsoft, Marriott, Nike, Deutsche Telecom/T-Systems, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Kraft, BOLDT, Church & Dwight Co, Inc., Costa Del Mar, UBISOFT, Mercedes-Benz, and Siemens develop their evolving narrative game plans.
Registration is open now. For more information on Storynomics visit: www.storynomics.com or contact learnmore@skyword.com.
