About this class

This program offers the participant a chance to learn how to build a content strategy that attracts followers, to tell stories in their content and to boost their social media presence.

Trans-media storytelling is the practice of designing, sharing, and participating in a cohesive story experience across multiple traditional and digital delivery platforms (e.g. social media, books, games and more). This technique can be used for entertainment, advertising, and marketing, or social change. Participants set their goals, and will together work through a design process that will help them create a story world and introduce their audience to it.
