The Power of Storytelling for Content Creation and Branding, with Rob Stennett

My Tog Blog About Awesome Content Creation

It's getting harder to stand out as a content creator.
As more people are getting into the content creation game, the competition is becoming more intense - even on video platforms such as TikTok and YouTube. And now along comes a new threat in the form of artificial intelligence tools, like Chat GPT-3 and WriteSonic, which are making it easier for more creators to scale their content creation efforts.
In this context, storytelling can be an effective way for content creators to differentiate themselves. So this episode, I'm pleased to have the opportunity to speak with Rob Stennett, who is an award-winning video content creator based in Austin, Texas, and the founder and creative lead for Storyize, which is a content creation firm that helps brands tell their stories through video, podcasts, and social media campaigns.
We discuss why stories are so effective and some tactics that you can implement today to help your stories get noticed.
