How to Convert More New Business with Better Storytelling

When it comes to an important new business pitch or meeting, agencies tend to pull out all the stops; agencies do research, bring target audience insights to life and develop and deliver killer creative campaigns and programs in the hopes of winning the business. 

What we tend to forget is how to bundle it all up, into one compelling and engaging story. That’s usually where we lose potential clients and the pitches. The human brain is hard wired for story — it's how we relate to each other, to the past, and how human beings learn. Knowing what the brain wants from a story will help you learn how to tell a better one.
