As a freelancer, you’ll know how important it is to future-proof your business. And to have skills that enable you to create human-written content for your clients.
That’s why we have a focus on interviewing and storytelling at this year’s Summit. Both are skills you MUST build on, because they set you apart in an AI world (they’re something AI can’t do).
Plus, we know (from marketer Neil Patel) that human-written content outperforms AI content 94.12% of the time – which is no surprise to us!
So make sure you don’t miss the Interviewing and the art of storytelling panel session on Day 1. Sophie Knox, Susan Horsburgh and Shannon Molloy will cover the importance of interviewing skills and storytelling in creating original and engaging content.
These three talented writers and content creators will share:Â
- how a storytelling approach works for clients
- tips on conducting revealing and effective interviews
- and how personal experiences can create memorable content.
Because it’s not just about journalism. They are essential skills for writers for all kinds. You can use interviewing and storytelling in print features, for B2B/B2C content pieces – and it’s vital when nailing voice of customer (VoC), too.
