The Best Story Wins!

The Best Story Wins!

Cannes Lions 17 – 19 June

Your story about yourself and your creative company―how it resonates in the public heart and mind―is your most valuable competitive advantage. Yet, few creative professionals really know how brand meaning works, how to manage it, and how to use brand meaning strategically.

Created by the founder of The Hero’ s Journey, Peter de Kuster this groundbreaking seminar provides the illusive and compelling answer. Using stories of rolemodels drawn from the experiences of Fendi, Chanel, Gucci and other powerhouse brands, Peter shows that the most successful brands are those that most effectively correspond to fundamental patterns in the unconscious mind known as archetypes.

The seminar provides tools and strategies to:
• Implement a proven system for identifying the most appropriate and leverageable archetypes for any company and/or brand
• Harness the power of the archetype to align corporate strategy to sustain competitive advantage

Join us for a truly transformational vacation for the mind.
