If you don't have a visual storytelling strategy, then you don't have a storytelling strategy. We now live in an era when visual stories generate more engagement and reach than written content. In "Let Me Tell You a Visual Story," iCrossing's David Deal shares how a visual storytelling strategy has helped iCrossing improve engagement, reach, and visibility in the digital world. His presentation focuses on how iCrossing, a business-to-business brand, shares its culture through visual stories.

Rachel Klein, iCrossing Chicago: "Pulp Fiction – all the rage when I was 15. Not sure we really

understood everything in the movie at the time, we certainly thought we were cool watching it."

Antonio Araya, iCrossing Santiago: “This pic reminds me that when I was 15. I never cut my

hair, was more skinny, a little bit crazy, and listened a lot of heavy metal. Google me to find

out what things changed and what did not."

iCrossing President and CEO Don Scales remembers digging "Let It Be" when he was 15 years old.
