It's that time of the year again. Time to take stock of the year that was, and take a look at the year that we're currently heading into. And what a time to be alive, at least if you have any interest in the world of media... for good and for bad. There have been…Read more The Year in Now Media 2018
Out with the old, in with the … new?
I’ve been extremely fortunate this past year. Due to different possibilities and offers being thrown my way I’ve had the luxury of taking part of a number of different events, which have given me insight into a great deal of exciting projects around the world. Ranging from VR to straight-up TV documentaries, from academia barging…Read more Out with the old, in with the … new?
Your story vehicle
Earlier this week I published a couple of posts, one about corporate storytelling and the other about the need for anyone in any field related to an audience to start honing and defining their own narrative and their own story world. This notion of storytelling as a vehicle and a method of gaining and keeping…Read more Your story vehicle
Crafting the story of you
In a blog post yesterday I talked about the topic of corporate storytelling and how I see it as a natural way of engaging with the audience and the customer base for any company or organisation. Now, some discussions I’ve been having over the past couple of days have touched upon what I view as…Read more Crafting the story of you
Corporate storytelling – the what and the why
How can corporations use storytelling to become better and more profitable? Well, in much the same way everyone else can do it. I’ve spent a couple of days this week at the Nordisk Panorama festival and have presented my company to a number of people. I’ve explained how we have a core competence spanning over…Read more Corporate storytelling – the what and the why
The Creative Squeeze
Creativeness might be a less important search term on LinkedIn nowadays. It has, as so many terms before it, been used up to such an extent that it hardly means anything anymore to your average person. This is a bit of a shame, as creativeness is becoming an increasingly important trait in just about every…Read more The Creative Squeeze
Internal structure that makes external sense
In an earlier post I talked about the Ask as a fundamental part of any project, and of the need to be aware of what Asks we make of collaborators, partners, possible funders and not least ourselves. This post will look at another need, one that predates those Asks and give them the sound foundation…Read more Internal structure that makes external sense
It’s WE, not ME
As some of you might know I started up my own company last year together with a former colleague of mine. I was expecting hard work - which it has been - and some challenging moments, which also have appeared from time to time. What I was hoping for, but didn’t fully dare count on,…Read more It’s WE, not ME
F/S 2017 – where storytellers meet
It’s a challenging proposition, summing up an experience as complex as ForwardSlashStory 2017, or F/S2017 for short. From experience I know that many of the revelations from the event will become apparent only later, in some cases much later. It’s like when you feel you need to sleep on something to get it right, only…Read more F/S 2017 – where storytellers meet
Asking yourself the right Ask
This post is a follow-up to my post about The Art of the Ask from earlier this year. In this post, I explore deeper into the last of the Asks I talked about - the Self Ask. I’ve always been inclined to say a resounding “YES!” when someone has suggested a project, a collaboration, a new…Read more Asking yourself the right Ask
