Shane Snow, founder of Contently, and Joe Lazauskas, head of content strategy at Contently, are celebrating the launch of their new book today. The book, 'The Storytelling Edge:’ How to Transform Your Business, Stop Screaming into the Void, and Make People Love You' is an entertaining and informative look at how brand storytellers can use compelling narratives to transform their businesses.

Snow and Lazauskas combine the best of their Contently expertise and channel it into a referential book filled with personal anecdotes, illustrations, neuroscience studies, and algorithms that are heavy on empathy and methodology.

Shane Snow formally announced the book on December 20th on the Contently Content Strategist blog. After a short personal forward, Snow stated,

 

“Over the last seven years at Contently, we’ve dedicated serious time to breaking down the art and science of business storytelling—how stories work on our brains, how brands can tell stories that connect with people, and how technology can help those stories reach the right people and lead them to the right places. We’ve covered Amanda Palmer and Ryan Gosling, Dollar Shave Club and General Electric, The X-Files and many more.”

 

The book, a fully realized “tour of science and business throughout history,” is a reflection of Snow and Lazauskas’ dedication to creating and promoting better storytelling methods. In the book, the two marketing experts reveal their ‘Contently’ secrets, formed after seven years of client work and innovative storytelling practices, that have helped brands forge lasting connections with millions of customers. Snow and Lazauskas announced the book release today on their respective social media channels. You can order the book on Amazon today.
