NEWCASTLE 2025 ON DEMAND

Using storytelling and the human touch in communications to build trust

Overview

Everyone loves a good story, don’t they?
But for public sector organisations, can stories help us communicate with customers, service users, clients, and patients? Absolutely!
Creating a human connection is one of the most powerful ways to reach your audience, and stories help us do just that. Powerful narratives and real, human stories can help people to identify with what our organisations are doing and why. And most importantly, they are a way to use open and honest communication to build trust.

In this session we’ll:

Explore different ways to build storytelling into communications
Look at some great real-world examples of best practice
Have a bit of fun putting this approach into practice
