Humanize Your Brand Through Storytelling - Susan Frech, episode 53

 

“We're seeing a shift with people trusting brands more than they trust the media. And it didn’t always used to be that way. It’s a great opportunity for brands, and is why I believe brands are the new Editor-In-Chief."

Sarah Panus, Host of the Marketing With Empathy podcast
