Storyselling

Communicating worthy content to restart your Business

MasterClass in English

22–24 June 2020 | 11.00 am – 1.00 pm (CET)

At a time when all possible energies and means are needed to overcome the crisis and start again, positive frames of mind such as optimism and trust are more necessary than ever because they help to imagine and act for a better future.

Does that sound hard? There is a very powerful tool that can generate them: a story.
Stories are a form of communication that man has been using for about 40 thousand years to convey traditions, culture, religions, lessons.
A good story can generate positive emotions and spur creativity, closeness, sharing, focus, motivation, and determination.

Storytelling is much more than just publishing photos or videos on social media, describing a company’s history, or reporting anecdotes. Storytelling is a matter of method and approach: it means designing and driving identities and relationships through storytelling techniques, to create VALUE and EMOTION.

On the first day Oscar Farinetti, successful entrepreneur and great motivator will tell us about his entrepreneurial history and the importance of the 5 P’s of the Marketing mix, including the P of PEOPLE to bring and tell VALUE.

“PEOPLE”, 22 June 2020
Oscar Farinetti

Oscar Farinetti tells about his personal experience as an entrepreneur and explains how the Eataly project came about and what led to its international success.

Oscar Farinetti’s philosophy is based on a peach, a fruit that can help to outline a successful business project. Starting from inside, the peach’s core represents the poetic target, for example, the possibility of offering everyone high-quality food; then there is the pulp, or the ideas, the experiences you want to offer your customers, and finally, the skin is trade marketing, that is, the actions to be done to make the project known.

And what is the (not so much) secret ingredient that according to Oscar Farinetti can make the difference in creating a successful business? Simplify. This is the most important skill that a leader must possess, together with the ability to communicate, to tell a story. These skills lend charisma, an added value for every successful company.
