Facts Tell; Stories Sell

Stories Connect in the New Chapter of Your Company

The Attention Span of a Human Being is Shorter than a Goldfish

In the digital era it has never been so easy to get a story out. At the same time it has never been so difficult to connect. People are no longer attracted to bullet points.

Your Story has a Value

Put people in motion with an authentic story, so they come to you, want to work for you and stay involved; supporting the company’s growth phase.

Step into the Spotlight brings the story behind the organization to life, connecting people, in order to realize ambitions and increase the company’s value.

For Enterprises with a Story

Step into the Spotlight is here for SMEs. For small and large businesses, but above all for entrepreneurs who:

Want to generate more business with their story
Are involved in a takeover
Want to build the brand behind the enterprise

Is Your Story the Best Kept Secret?

Entrepreneurs often keep their story the best-kept secret; out of modesty, but also because they:

Shoot from the hip. Discover your story and claim your position in society
Speak in bullet points. Ensure a connection
Overwhelm with a flood of information, both literally and figuratively. Ensure relevance

More customers with your story

For Ambitious Enterprises

You are ready for the next growth phase. A new chapter, possibly through an acquisition. Step into the Spotlight is here for ambitious entrepreneurs, because I am one myself. In every phase, I know from personal experience exactly what is needed to take the next step.

Self-Employed
You are an expert in your field, but how do you reach your target audience? What is your story, and how do you generate revenue from it?

The Next Phase
There is no lack of (international) ambition; the world is at your feet. You are ready for professionalization. How do you turn your business into a strong brand?

Mergers & Acquisitions
Growing through acquisition. Deal delivery is more than just announcing an acquisition. How do you engage employees and customers and increase chances of success?

Storyselling

Step into the Spotlight uses storytelling. Or storyselling, because a story should yield something. I use your story so that you:

Stand out in the sea of sameness
Are visible and well remembered as the place to go
Attract the right people

Don’t speak in bullet points. Achieve your business ambitions. Put people in motion with an authentic story. Not a fairy tale, but a story that fits the reality of today and gives you a role in society.

About Storytelling

Creating Value

A healthy business does just one thing. It is relevant. They create value by bringing the story behind the organization to life.

From the inside out – through one strong, authentic story
From the outside in – a seamless connection with the target audience
Very consistently – always and everywhere

An authentic story is worth money. It attracts the right people. Engaged stakeholders and employees help realize your ambition in the next phase of the business.

As a photograher I focus on images, however the story behind the image is as important. Annegees helped to craft my story. Personally and with the right tone of voice. The result is concrete and ready to use on my website and socials. Not only very useful but also great fun to collaborate in the process. Do you wish to get to the point? I definitely recommend to connect with Annegees!
