‘STORYMAKING for Good’ (201): The Co-Creation Phase (Half Day)
Learn the Key Elements of a Co-Creation Brief That Drive Effectiveness, Efficiency, and ROI
“STORYMAKING for Good” Mastery Program 201
(Half Day Workshop)
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 key to providing meaningful interactions with consumers, co-delivering content in a way that is relevant, timely, and authentic. The Co-Creation Method® has have 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 be introduced to the concept of co-creation – what it is, why it matters, and how leading brands have used it to gain competitive advantage, benefit people the planet, and, in many cases, double their ROI. Participants then learn the ‘Storymaking for Good’ framework and apply that in completing a co-creation brief.
This workshop is the first of 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.
