Rapid Storytelling Review
Quick question. What happens when you tell someone about your app or your product? Do they “get it” instantly?
Do they get excited, light up and tell you they can’t wait to try it? Or do their eyes glaze over? If they give you the Scooby-Doo “huh” look, you have a problem.
A big one. Your story isn’t connecting with people. And, if someone doesn’t understand what your product is within five minutes when they’re in front of you, how are you going to:
grab people’s attention within seconds on social media?
generate press interest?
create buzz about what you’re trying to do?
Here’s how:
By signing up for the Rapid Storytelling Review. The KINN members are getting a unique opportunity to pitch their story to the former Managing Editor and News Director of PEOPLE, someone who built her career by writing, pitching and commissioning articles that generated millions of clicks and dollars.
Marissa Charles is an award-winning journalist whose work has appeared in news outlets including The Guardian, Glamour, PEOPLE, the Daily Mail, Cosmopolitan and more. Most importantly, she can spot a great story a mile away. And she can sniff out a snooze-fest within minutes.
She also knows that often people — especially founders — don’t know what THE story is. Or they don’t know that there are MULTIPLE stories they can tell different audiences by strategically choosing the right time and platform to achieve a specific goal.
The Rapid Storytelling Review gives founders 30 minutes 1:1 time with a seasoned journalist who knows how to tell and sell great stories to millions of people. Stories that:
generate buzz online
get picked up by the press
provoke strong reactions
make people laugh or cry
inspire action and foster connection
Sign up. Pitch your story and Marissa will tell you why it’s a hit or miss, suggest improvements, or explain why it needs more work.
This is a unique opportunity to get feedback from someone who was an editorial lead on one of the top news outlets in the world. It’s a chance to sharpen your storytelling skills by learning from a top journalist.
Take it. Book your 30-minute slot, bring your story, and start pitching.
