The Storytelling ExpeditionsTogether with Adfo Groep Lemon Scented Tea is organising Storytelling Expeditions: three boat trips on the Amsterdam canals, where marketers and storytelling specialists will discuss the do’s and don’t’s of storytelling. The theme of the first edition was Story Mining; finding the unique story of a brand or company. The session started off with a quote from John Weich, author of the book 'Storytelling on Steroids‘: ‘Storytelling is a company strategy, not a communication tool’.
