Do you want more awareness for your business?
Then it’s time to come on one of my storytelling workshops
You’ll leave the workshop knowing your story better than at the start and ready to go and build awareness for your business.
They are fun and interactive, designed to get you thinking in a different way about your business. I can run them for your team, or you can join a shared workshop as an individual.
We will cover purpose, vision, positioning, audience, targeting, tactics and pitching.
Don’t undersell yourself by not telling your story like a legend.
Storytelling is the secret to your business, brand and marketing.
Do you want to get your business in front of the right audience?
You’ve got a great business, great product or service – you just need to get it in front of the right audience.
How can I help you do that?
Step 1 – Know your audience – who are they, what are their problems, how do you solve them?
Step 2 – Put your story in front of them – where can we find them, how will they receive your story the best.
Strategy is working out where you can win, and I’ll help you win.
Let’s build the strategy which tells your perfect story.
Do you want someone to take the ideas out of your head and turn them into action?
I’ll make sure your ideas are turned into marketing campaigns which land in front of your customers and tell your story.
I’ll work with you and your team to ensure your story is consistently delivered in the right way for your audience.
This will save you time, money and frustration – knowing your efforts are all directed in the best way.
If your story isn’t consistent throughout your marketing, brand and sales – then you aren’t going to fulfil the potential in your business.
Let’s work together to unlock the full potential in your business.
“We had an incredible session with James to really define our story, he has tweaked our mindset to shout about our story in a new way. All of our team in the workshop session loved James’ approach to storytelling, so if you’re looking to refine your story, move up a level in terms of marketing mindset or want to play charades to get a message across, contact James – your business will be better for it”
Aimee Konieczny | Indigo Swan
Commercial Director
“I didn’t know what to expect from the workshop, but it wasn’t that. It was inspiring, it was informative, it was collaborative – it was just amazing, to be honest! I certainly felt enthused by it and I feel like I know what our story is now. It was amazing what James was able to draw out from us, I was really impressed.”
Adam Northcut | Mayday Office Equipment Services
Director
“Running a workshop with James is a no brainer, especially if you have a role within marketing or sales. I think it’s something which will be of real value to you.
It’s given me a very fresh perspective on what I’m doing – I got the opportunity to step away from my day-to-day role to look from the outside in and think from outside the box, which gives you a fresh perspective and gives you the opportunity to reflect more intensely than what you would do day-to-day.”
Chris Leek | Barnham Broom
Business Development Manager
“I don’t know a man who is better at connecting new audiences. He’s got a fantastic ability to connect audiences with brands, both from a marketing perspective, content, and much further beyond.
James has got a phenomenal track record of linking new customers with brands”
James Yellen | Team GB
Content Strategy Lead
“James has worked with us as our marketing advisor, getting involved in different parts of our business as we try to establish our brand and our vision – he’s been absolutely brilliant at it. We’ve not given him much to work with, we’ve often just chucked words, maybe some thoughts and some ideas at him and he’s helped us refine that into our story and marketing. He’s also managed to introduce us to a couple of people and we’re really, really pleased to work with him and we will definitely be continuing that.”
Lewis Buckley | Focalise Finance
Director
“James ran a very, very interactive session with myself and our Marketing Manager. He really got to know our business and the workshop was very hands-on, very interactive and quite quickly we were able to establish who our target audience was, something in the past we’d struggled to really nail down.
We were struggling with the clarity of our story and not understanding why our story wasn’t getting across to the right people and James was really helpful with that.
As a result of the workshop, we understood our audience better, we understood how to get our message across better and understood what we need to do to deliver our marketing to the right people.”
Ryan Oates | SG Corporate Services
Corporate Services Director
“I’ve just got the full time whistle of my consultancy with James, and wow! If you are like me as a business owner and a bit skeptical about the fluff that is sometimes associated with marketing, then James’ process, systems and strategy he takes you through to create a story that’s not only aligned with what the business wants to achieve, but also what you want to create out of your own personal life – I would wholeheartedly recommend him.
I finished the session feeling positively impacted, inspired, and I feel realigned – I can’t recommend James more. He will be some of the best use of your marketing budget you’ve spent in years.”
Chris Reeve | Reeve Social Media
Managing Director
“We worked for half a day and I found the consultancy session to be enlightening and hugely practical. As a new business with great ideas, we’ve struggled with the consistency of our story, messaging and having the right level of clarity. Working with James was an interactive and stimulating process, I couldn’t recommend highly enough.”
Alex Sellers | Blue Heron
Managing Director
“I just want to emphasise how impressed I was by the workshop. It was a one-on-one workshop and for me what James was able to do was just unlock the thing that’s been missing for me for nearly nine years now in business, which is knowing what I do well, that I deliver great value to my clients but perhaps falling short on explaining through the storytelling piece.
I was incredibly impressed not only with how James delivers the workshop, but also the way he engages you. It helps just unlock stuff that’s in your head, but he’ll help bring it to the surface and help you to use it.
The two hours we spent together has been some of the most valuable two hours that I’ve had in the nine years I’ve run this company and that’s how strongly I’d recommend it.”
Oliver Hill | Hill Coaching Company
Managing Director
“I’ve learnt tonnes from the workshop, absolutely loads actually. A lot of focus around how to distill our story and why we’re doing what we’re doing.
Absolutely use James, he’s an absolutely brilliant person to run workshops. He gets people really thinking. It’s not normal, boring workshop stuff, it’s interactive, gets people working together.
It’s a brilliant way of trying to get more out of your time and how to further increase your opportunity as a business.”
Luke Plane | Fulfilled Talent
Founder
“James helped us specifically in two areas. One was the right branding and messaging to help us get clear on what we really wanted to be saying. He did some extensive work in clarifying who our target audience was and what messages would really resonate with them to get the message across. The second area, we now have a great content plan and he shared some great content tips and topics to really help us target the customers we are trying to reach.
If you’re in a situation where you don’t feel your story is right, I would highly recommend James in helping you to do that. He’s really made a difference to us and he’s a great person to deal with.”
Pete Wilkinson | Reclaro
Founder
“The workshop gives you the clarity to be able to articulate clearly everything that lives in your head as a business owner. I think there’s some many ideas that it can sometimes be difficult to get that out and communicate that message in a really concise way.
So to be able to work through the kind of storytelling activities and reduce it down to then actually see what the essence of everything that you do is at the end, I think that’s incredibly powerful.”
It’s absolutely worth investing the time into doing a workshop with James. I think it just gives you that clarity and ability to articulate your brand and it’s not just about the logos and the brand colours and the guidelines.
Actually doing something like this takes that essence of the purpose and the passion as to why you started your business and helps you communicate that through your brand.”
I thought the workshop was amazing. It was definitely the most valuable time I’ve spent working on my business this year.”
Hannah Wright | Tortoise
Managing Director
“As a result of the workshop I can make more of an impact with the people I meet. Rather than talking to them for a long time about what I do and going into great detail, I can simply put four or five words in front of them and they get what I do. And they’ve heard it and they’ve listened to it, it’s more impactful.”
“The value in working with James is incredible. It’s life-changing for yourself and for your business and completely refocuses your message for what you offer to your clients and the people you work with. Gives a lot more clarity about what you’re about, what you’re doing, where you’re going. The value in it is just through the roof.”
“It was extremely thought provoking around what I do, what I think I do, and how that actually looks for my clients from their point of view.”
