‘STORYMAKING for Good’ (201): The Co-Creation Phase (Virtual Open Enrollment)

Learn the Key Elements of a Co-Creation Brief That Drive Effectiveness, Efficiency, and ROI
“STORYMAKING for Good” Mastery Program 201
(Virtual Half Day Workshop)

Virtual Workshop Description
Brand storytelling practices combined with traditional advertising channels continue to lose effectiveness because most campaigns have become intrusive and lack a clear purpose or consumer connection beyond selling.

This is why the era of “one-size-fits-all” campaigns is clearly over. The need for brands to engage the consumer is crucial, in fact, this is challenging marketers to overcome 4 key issues: (1). content saturation, (2). increased social and eco-anxiety, (3). general distrust in governments and institutions, and (4). increasing financial scrutiny to drive ROI.

Brands and marketers answering this call to co-create are fast becoming category leaders. Co-creation is now at the heart of better marketing and is the key to providing meaningful interactions with consumers, co-delivering content in a way that is relevant, timely and authentic. The Co-Creation Method® has been effectively proven to drive user generated content at scale via extensive research and inspirational case studies in collaboration with Story Making 4 Good (S4G), The World Advertising Research Company, Cannes Lions, and Sustainable Brands.

In this workshop you will build upon the concepts learned in 101 to further develop a campaign brief and learn how to build a new and integrative marketing mindset that solves these issues through the concept of co-creation.

This virtual workshop is the second in a three-part series – the ANA’s ‘STORYMAKING for Good’ Mastery Program – where participants learn the essentials of product and messaging innovation through co-creation, its function as a key growth driver for brands, and how to implement these innovations within their own organization.
