Welcome to 2012!

Whatever the year ahead holds for you, embrace every opportunity. Fill your glass so that it's half-full, not half-empty, every day of every month. Stare austerity in the face. Be creative. Have courage. Step out of your comfort zone and learn new things about yourself and those around you. Have resolve. Welcome change.

The Storytellers are pleased to announce their latest webinar (Wednesday 23rd November at 14:15) in conjunction with World Trade Group and led by Simon Robinson, Head of Internal Communication, Group Operations at Nationwide.

Nice article in Director magazine this month, featuring Scott Garrett and Alison Esse. The piece talks of how introducing a new Chief Executive to a company run by its owners has helped prepare the business for change and growth.

Have a read!

Inspiring leaders know how to tell a good story.  So we're delighted to announce the launch of a brilliant new storytelling workshop for business leaders and communicators.

It's the end of an era for The Storytellers, as we move out of our bijou office in Percy Street (some may elect some rather more choice words for it, we accept) and transfer ourselves to the spacious accommodation of 5. Cromwell Place in the heart of South Kensington.  Steeped in history, with many stories to tell, this is no ordinary building...

We'd like to wish all our clients, suppliers, associates and friends a very happy and prosperous New Year.

Looking back over 2010, it has been a momentous year for The Storytellers as we made a positive and firm commitment to change ourselves. Despite the difficult economic climate and uncertain outlook at the start of the year, we've been - and continue to be - very busy!  The volatile business climate has highlighted the need for a renewed focus on strategic communication, the need to embrace often unforeseen change, the need to keep employees involved and upbeat about the future, and in some cases the need to completely re-chart the business's strategic course.  A number of new clients have joined us, including Hilton, Nationwide Building Society, HSBC International, Pitney Bowes, Everything Everywhere, Metso Corporation (Helsinki), Prudential and RIAS.  We very much look forward to building a lasting relationship with each one, wherever they are in the world.

A team of Storytellers found themselves in the American Church soup kitchen on Tottenham Court Road this week, armed with Mr Muscle, plastic aprons and rubber gloves (Chris came in his farm boiler suit....very sensible too) to help clean the kitchen and patio, and sort out some of the many boxes and bags of clothes donated to the homeless.

The Storytellers have announced the appointment of our new Chief Executive - Scott Garrett, who will take up the post with immediate effect.

Congratulations to Colt for securing runner-up place (twice) at last night's B2B Marketing Awards.  We are tremendously proud of the stunning achievements Colt has made over the last year in changing its proposition, brand and behaviours with such remarkable momentum, pace and energy.  

It's a new era and a new look for The Storytellers as we enter a new period of growth.  Welcome to our new-look website, and if this is the first time you've visited, a big hello from all of us.  We're undergoing our own brand re-alignment and think that this updated site is contemporary, fresh, simple and clear - more representative of who we are.
