STORYTELLING FOR FUNERAL SERVICE
WHEELING, IL—Andrew Buck understands how easy it is to forget why we’re here. “We spend 40+ hours per week doing work, and it’s easy to lose focus on what we’re ultimately trying to accomplish. We’re trying to tell human stories.” A professional content strategist, Andrew brings your story center stage to show you how it sets your business apart in the marketplace as keynote for the Cremation Association of North America’s 2022 Cremation Symposium. This February, you’re invited to Las Vegas, Nevada to join Andrew and cremation professionals from across the country to tell your story.
In his lively, example-filled keynote, Andrew will show you how to tell stories that enhance your brand and attract customers. At the end, you’ll be able to find great stories and craft them into something that can be read and remembered. “Stories are powerful,” Andrew explains. “They help us make sense of the noise that surrounds us by putting it into a form that makes sense and moves us.”
Andrew Buck is the Content Strategist for Mighty Citizen, a consulting company that transforms mission-driven organizations through branding, marketing, and digital communication. Join Andrew and CANA this February in Las Vegas and you’ll learn how to showcase what makes your business special and discover why storytelling is key to your marketing efforts.
