THE LAST THING YOUR BUSINESS OR ORGANIZATION SHOULD DO IS TELL A BETTER STORY.

There's been so much focus on businesses and nonprofits telling a better story in order to succeed. But better storytelling in marketing terms is much more than just trying to captivate your target audience, it's also about positioning and differentiating for greater loyalty and lasting growth. Learn the whole story to better storytelling from Bill McKendry, entrepreneur, creative business thought-leader and a nationally recognized marketing and messaging expert.

Bill's book, Do More Good, will be available for purchase at the event for $25 - please bring cash or check to the lunch. If you prefer to purchase the book by credit card, email: [email protected].
