Storytelling is definitely an art! You’ve been featured in the Toronto Star and on Global News and CTV sharing your story and your clients as well with authenticity at the forefront.
With such big names under your belt, sometimes we feel like we’re not good enough or ask ourselves who would want to hear what I have to say.
How do we get out of that imposter syndrome and let our story shine?
You’ve said that “it's about telling your brand story in a way that deeply connects with viewers, listeners and readers.” How can we ensure a compelling story and how to figure out what media outlet (whether it is TV, radio, podcasting, etc.) is the best fit for our unique business?
Everyone has a story to share that’s unique to their experiences and circumstances. Something I’ve learned from you recently is to really hone in on that timeliness and urgency with news cycles.
How can we ensure that our story lands the majority of the time when we’re pitching? And the top 3 tips you must include in your pitch?
I want to shift gears a bit. Representation matters! Obviously inclusivity and diversity is not a trend. Allyship is a verb to be put into action and these all go beyond a hashtag. It’s here to stay and we all better get informed about this!
What is inclusive marketing and what’s the impact of not being able to see ourselves seen and heard?
What are 3 ways we can be better about sharing inclusive and newsworthy stories today?
What are you currently celebrating? What’s the #1 thing you want people to have fun with from this episode? What’s your bold legacy?Thank you so much for taking the time to join in on the fun on the BRAND PARTY Podcast.
