Quotes from this Episode:
“Story ideas are made up of 2 things: it's a focus, what will you be talking about? And it's a format, how are you bringing it to life? It's like before cooking dinner you need to know what your ingredients are and how you're going to do it. Otherwise, it's going to be a long process of trial and error.” – Melanie Deziel
“The scale of the stories that small business owners and huge companies tell are different. Their resources, the amount of time they spend to tell these stories, and their dedication can be different. But the core stuff can be done by anyone.” – Melanie Deziel
“Many of our tactics as a marketer are not designed to connect to people's hearts. We use charts or statistics and people have a hard time connecting with numbers.” – Melanie Deziel
“Everything is storytelling in some way. The way we use stories or content to engage our audience is already storytelling. It comes in so many forms.” – Melanie Deziel
“Stories are a renewable resource, and it's something you're not going to run out of. The problem here is you're not giving yourself enough framework to come up with those ideas.” – Melanie Deziel
