Storytelling for businesses is an essential part of your marketing strategy. It helps audiences connect with you and your brand and ultimately helps you make sales.

But how do you even begin to tell your story if you’re not sure what your story is?

In this episode Katie Flamman talks to Gareth Dimelow from Inside Stories. They discuss the importance of understanding your business story as well as the keys to creating compelling stories that connect. 

Key Takeaways

• Reeling off a list of events does not constitute a story; great stories require elements of drama, conflict, or resolution. 
• Authenticity is also crucial – aligning personal or business values with the stories being told creates resonance with the audience. 
• Audiences want to be involved and engaged; they don't just want information handed to them but rather desire opportunities to participate and make connections.
