💡Inventors Assemble!! A new weekly free session online with me Every week at 4:30pm on Facebook Live on my profile, www.fb.com/innovationben EXCEPT 30th APRIL WHERE IT'S 3PM As part of my continuing relaunch of Inventor Club I wanted to broaden our offering to ensure there were sessions that literally everyone can attend with no barriers and no cost. The whole thing is an experiment but hopefully good fun and useful for you and your budding Inventor! 👉🏼We need more problem solvers in this world and we're not going to get there with our current spoon fed blindly-following-instructions systems that we have at the moment. So, as well as running my online inventor club, the 3D printing for Innovation and Make & Sell sessions, I'm also doing a weekly half hour inspirational drop in thing that will morph and develop over time. I'm crazy busy so initially this will just be 30 minutes long BUT we'll pack a lot in. Here's the plan: 3️⃣ segments 1. #TheProblemOfTheWeek - exploring one open ended design challenge every single week. The sheets will be available on my #InventorClub facebook group. You can respond to this challenge in your home with jut a bit of a chat, a brainstorm, a design deep dive and/or a make, build and test - it's entirely up to you. Bring along your response the following week - I'll pick some folks to share what you did 2. Wicked Cool Stuff - i'm always up to something, making cool things or visting intersting places. I'll bring along a few stories from my week or show you some awesome stuff i'm working on or incredible inspirational stuff i've seen that I think you should be aware of 3. Ask me anything - I've lived a lot of life, I've given away everything I've owned twice, I've nearly died a few times, I’ve broken bones breakdancing in various bars and clubs, I've made and sold all sorts of things and I’ve been in industry for over 20 years so I’ve not only got stories for days but a good understanding of what it takes to become an inventor and so much more. I will try and be an open book, I will try and provide useful targetted advice too. You can submit questions ahead of time through socials or drop them on the day in the comments. Inventing is all about iteration - this is the starting point, we’ll see if it works, if folks like it and if they would like different content and go from there! Let me know what you think

‘Brand storytelling isn’t just a marketing tool; it’s how you turn customers into believers.’ This was just one of the themes considered yesterday during a thoroughly enjoyable and engaging lunch and learn session at Teesside University International Business School. While there’s so much marketing ‘noise’ out there at the moment... Facts tell, but stories sell! Your brand story goes beyond products - it’s about creating connections that turn customers into loyal supporters. And why does brand storytelling work? ✅ Creates emotional connection – stories make brands relatable. ✅ Builds trust – authentic stories show the human side of your brand. ✅ Simplifies complex messages – stories make ideas stick. ✅ Engages across channels – videos, blogs, social media - it all works. ✅ Highlights impact – shows how you make a difference! A huge thanks to this brilliant bunch of Teesside businesses and Dr Gbemisola Ogbolu, Lucie Burton, Sufri Weithers, Samantha Kendall, Stephen Goodall, Helen Jamison, Dr. Suzanne Hague for their support! So, come on - share with me... What's your story? #brandstorytelling #authenticity #marketingtips #marketingcoach
