How DO ILLUMINATED STORIES COMPARE TO TRADITIONAL PRESENTATIONS?

Traditional Presentations

Follow cliches and cookie-cutter structures
Are bogged down with jargon and complexity
Lack emotional nuance and narrative depth
Blend into a sea of similar presentations
Are difficult to remember and lack “stickiness”
Fail to communicate your true value
Limit your quantity and quality of audience

Illuminated Stories

Are strikingly refreshing in their cadence
Are clear and simple to understand
Beat with life and emotional resonance
Stand out and set you and your brand apart
Stay with you long after they’re experienced
Position you as an undisputed expert
Allow you to connect to millions of raving fans
