Here’s the updated, second edition of Miri's book Brand Storytelling: Put Customers at the Heart of Your Brand Story.

A memorable quote from Miri: “Your first storytellers are your employees.” That's why we need to give them tools like Microsoft's done with their brand central station.

Miri also shared how important Satya Nadella's book Hit Refresh has been in sharing the brand story. Fun fact: Nadella created a special edition for employees.

What brand has made Miri smile recently? Disney! Miri shared — you guessed it — a story on how Disney once again delivered on the magical experiences that they promise.
