Trafcom News Podcast 115: A new way to look at storytelling




Trafcom News Podcast show

Summary: A discussion with Roshan Grossman about “experience communications” A few weeks ago a blog post caught my eye, and  sparked this conversation with Roshan Grossman about “experience communications.” The idea is this: Storytelling is a great way to grab attention and influence people, but a key ingredient is missing if we focus on the story itself. What about the experience behind it? In this conversation, Roshan shares some examples of experience communications in action. Formerly a senior communications consultant and then manager of internal communications for Sun Life Financial Canada, Roshan now owns Hot Quill Communications.
