1. Stacey shares her story with an interactive exercise: As marketers you and I ask people to buy things, believe things, or change behavior. Key takeaway: No matter who they are, or what they do, stories appeal to your target audience - it’s human nature. I’ll bet you remember the situations and characters we relate to and connect with: sensory information: sights, sounds, and smells. The people who influenced us, got us to believe in what was possible - that favorite teacher, camp counselor. Human beings were born to remember stories and emotions.2.
