SUMMARY:OBN Online ‘Power Hour' - The Science of Storytelling by Kat Arney
DESCRIPTION:Our next event in the series of ‘Power Hour’ BioLearn webinars will be online on Tuesday 7 March 2023. The session will be hosted by Kat Arney\, Founder and Creative Director of First Create the Media. \nEvery startup needs a story \nYou’ve got your idea\, your leadership team and your business plan. But do you have your story? Today’s life sciences startups are working on the frontiers of research\, making it all the more important to tell your story and explain your ideas in a clear\, compelling and memorable way. \nWhile it may be tempting to file all of this stuff under ‘marketing’ and get round to it later in your company’s journey\, it’s never too early to start thinking about creating and communicating clear messages about what you’re doing and why it’s important. Whether it’s creating an investor pitch that sticks\, attracting potential partners\, maintaining stakeholder relations\, bringing in the right kind of talent or talking to the wider world\, having a strong story is an essential component for success. \n  \nIn this session we’ll delve into the techniques of narrative and storytelling to discover tips and tools to help you create a compelling story for your startup. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nKat Arney\nFounder and Creative Director of First Create The Media
