The Storytelling Playbook for Creators & Entrepreneurs: How to Use Storytelling to Grow Your (Personal) Brand and SELL—FREE 90 Minute Panel


Listen Later

Storytelling isn’t optional—it’s how clients, customers, and media decide what you stand for. In this live Deschutes Women in Business panel, we break down practical storytelling frameworks for creators, entrepreneurs, and founders: how to position your personal brand, why founder-led ads outperform product-only content, how to turn testimonials into sales, and how to pitch press without a publicist.


THANK YOU TO MY INCREDIBLE VIDEOGRAPHER AND EDITOR, KATY! You can check out her work here: katynevinsky.com


Host/Panelist: Kelly Rocklein (UGC creator, creative performance marketer, Founder—UGC Pro)
Panelists: Lindsay Gilmore (artist), Affton Coffelt (Founder/CEO—Broken Top Brands), moderated by Lisa Hovey (COO); intro by Dini Vemuri (Board Member)—DWIB.

You’ll learn

  • Positioning: human and aspirational (underdog + clear system)

  • Turning real life into repeatable messaging (for social, sales, and PR)

  • Founder POV → higher engagement & conversion

  • Testimonial stories vs. quotes (how to capture “before/after” moments)

  • Pitching publications with narrative, stakes, and relevance
