Webinar and Panel Discussion: Now They See It — March 21

Get the Message Across With Graphic Storytelling

Words and pictures communicate better than either one alone. Years of research show that graphic storytelling gets people to pay attention to messages, and understand, remember and act on them. In this session, you will learn:

  • Why it makes sense to add words and pictures to your campaigns. (Use this research to sell your approvers on the approach.)
  • About award-winning communication campaigns that relied on comic strips, cartoons and other graphic storytelling approaches.
  • How to get more graphic stories into your communications.
  • To consider no-cost, low-cost and worth-the-investment tools for creating graphic stories.
