Canada’s meeting place for freelance writers and creators

Established 2010

30-Matthew-Manuge-1-2

Brand storytelling can be a lucrative industry for freelancers. Now, more than ever, brands are seeking the advice of artists (writers, podcasters, graphic designers, photographers) to help tell their stories in ways that authentically connect. The next in our series of professional development webinars will help you find success in this field. 

The webinar Storytelling for Brands is scheduled for March 23rd at 3 p.m. EST

The webinar will explore the evolution of content marketing, as well as best practices for developing successful branded content for clients who may contract your services as a freelancer.

The webinar will be led by Matthew Manuge, associate creative director at Blue Ant’s Media Solutions Group in Toronto. Matthew was recently named one of Marketing Magazine’s Top 30 Under 30. He has led successful creative campaigns for clients such as Canon, Axe, Samsung, Home Hardware, Bosch, Ford and more. Matthew has also worked in film and television on several feature films and documentaries, as well as producing and directing a 13-part television comedy series titled Free-Loading.
