Think & Link with Patrice Poltzer and Heather Lockwood

It is storytime at the Grain Belt Brewery. We have a former Today Show producer and a local hero in the world of digital storytelling at Aveda. 

We have Patrice Poltzer, former producer at The Today Show and current founder of an AI storytelling coach, paired up with Heather Lockwood digital director at Aveda. 

This is a great example of April showers bringing May flowers – this is going to be a blooming good Think & Link session.

Areas of learning from this event;

One: Storytelling in the age of artificial intelligence. 

Two: Storytelling as the human side of brands and how impactful a storytelling approach can be for brands.  

Three: How research and insights feed into a storytelling approach for brands.

We started Think & Link as a french-style salon, to discuss the relevant topics of the day, connect with other like-minded individuals and share inspiring stories.
