Thread’s talks and workshops are grounded in the story expertise we honed while tackling communications challenges similar to the ones your teams may be tasked with right now. We’ve boiled what we’ve learned down to a handful of talks (shorter, punchier) and workshops (a bit longer, more hands-on) to spare you the time and energy (and stress) of learning these lessons on your own. Plus, we’re fun. Your people will like us.
Invite small teams or your whole organization for a one-hour talk with one of Thread’s speakers. You’ll leave with smart insights, interesting stories and clear steps to bring what you’ve learned into your everyday work.
Collaborate with some of Thread’s top creatives during a half-day workshop. We’ll break down the creative process, work in small groups, and get tips for using story and language to connect more meaningfully with your customers.
The antidote to writer’s block and marketing meaninglessness. Get tips and improve your skills by joining us from your laptop — any time, from anywhere. Sign up to be the first in line when we release this online series.
Pricing: Talks start at $800 and workshops begin at $2,400.
A brand isn’t a logo or a website or even the sum of all your communication tools combined. A brand is a story you tell about your company’s most deeply held beliefs. This talk shares insights from the fields of psychology, cinema and media to help companies understand how story drives behavior and how it can be used to guide everything from communication and content strategy to product development and hiring. You’ll learn how to use the principles of story strategy to improve your business and connect more meaningfully with your customers.
After more than a decade of developing systems to help brands create relevant, persuasive, brand-right product content at scale, we’ve successfully navigated the pitfalls and vexing points of friction you’ll encounter along the way. We’ll show you how to tackle endless piles of shifting product data and share insights into the best practices Thread uses to get insights from the designers’ and product managers’ heads and onto a product landing page. You’ll leave with tools and tips for managing deadlines, allocating resources and designing workflow.
Once a consumer picks your product up off the virtual shelf, you’ve got about six seconds to convince them to purchase it. All the specs and techs in the world aren’t going to sell that four-person tent if the copy sounds like it was written by a person who has never spent the night on a mountain. This talk provides best practices for persuasive product storytelling that relieves doubt and converts consumers.
