CoCo had content to make and post to the Twitters and the Book of the Face and was worried all this story nonsense was going to mean lots of late nights trying to juxtapose a story on top of all the cat memes in order to please the big boss. CoCo turned to the Google for guidance and wisdom and Google in it’s benevolence set CoCo on the path to PodCamp.

Storytelling is hardwired into the human brain. It’s an integral part of how we make decisions. A story is what makes a drink ‘Coca-Cola’ and not just carbonated sugar water. A story is what engages your audience and brings them back for more. We’ll cover elements of what makes a story work and how to fit that into your marketing.

  • The relation between the brain and story
