Whether you identify as a writer or not, we all write. Emails, captions, reports, website copy, Slack messages (sorry, Teams folk). I’m sure you’re all good, clear, thoughtful writers. But here’s the thing: writing isn’t always storytelling.
Writing puts words on the page (or screen). Storytelling gives those words meaning — it turns them into something memorable, emotional, and actionable. And on social media, it’s the difference between content that gets scrolled past and content that moves people to engage, care, share, and act.
