Thursday May 1, 3.15 pm – 3.45 pm – Aabne Scene, Godsbanen

In this keynote Victor will be focusing on the evolution of storytelling in the digital age, as we’ve gone from short bursts of focused storytelling to longterm relationships with our audience that require many different types of stories. All kinds of storytellers need to learn how to broaden the scope of their craft and lengthen their attention span for their audience. Victor went from working as a screenwriter to being a digital marketer, and he is going to talk about the journey his storytelling took when he made this transition.
