Corporate Storytelling

Lori Saitz

In corporate storytelling, the main character may be a person or the company itself and how a problem was resolved and the conflicts and tension that happened as a result of the problem.

Stories are what people remember in good marketing and what holds their interest. Not necessarily facts and figures, especially at the outset of building a relationship with potential clients or customers.

So how can a small business infuse good corporate storytelling and brand narrative into their existing online media? Here’s where my guest comes in.

Lori Saitz has more than 20 years of experience in marketing, corporate communications and broadcasting. She is the founder and CEO of Zen Rabbit, which is a company that helps business people say thank you to their customers. Immediately prior to launching Zen Rabbit, Lori worked as a radio personality and voice over talent in South Florida.

She’s currently in the process of a professional transition, which we discuss on Episode 60 of ACT LOCAL Marketing.

Lori is currently a member of the peer-to-peer strategy organization Her Corner. She has served as a pre-GED teacher and an adult literacy tutor and is an enthusiastic proponent for increasing literacy worldwide. She is a past president of a local Toastmasters International chapter and is a sought-after speaker for business meetings and conferences nationwide.

Lori spends her spare time at the gym and you may find her perusing the racks at Banana Republic, which she claims contributes to inspiring her creativity.

Building a Brand Online

Ande Lyons

This week I will be welcoming my friend Ande Lyons. She has a very interesting brand called Bring Back Desire, and she’s been enacting a plan to use social media to build that brand, VERY successfully.  We’re going to be speaking about how she did it, so you can use her great tactics to put your brand on the map.

Ande Lyons is the founder and CEO of Bring Back Desire – a playful, tasteful website where women from around the world are rediscovering sensual pleasure and intimacy.

Her passion for bringing increased intimacy to others stems from her own 26-year relationship with her darling husband. Through conceiving past the age of 35, too touched out by toddlers, several business start ups, health challenges, financial turmoil, 5 moves in 9 years, teens and menopause – Ande was committed to keeping the spark alive in her marriage. She spent years culling through stories, products, toys and relationship reference materials to find the best of the best in each of these categories. In the tradition of Betty White wink-and-a-nod humor and Erma Bombeck kitchen table conversation style, Ande shares her resources through Bring Back Desire.

Building a Brand Online

Ande’s business career spans over twenty-five years in executive level management, private banking, and entrepreneurial ventures. She is an experienced and passionate entrepreneur with several successful companies to her credit. After earning her MBA from Simmons School of Management Ande became a private banker, but she soon realized she needed to pursue her real passion: starting small businesses that can grow into big businesses.
