Time goes quickly, it seems like just yesterday I started Open i Networks with the idea that companies could do a better job with their corporate storytelling and communicating the value proposition of their products and services.

Around that time I came across an article entitled Storytelling That Moves People. This article resonated greatly with me and seemed to capture the essence of what I was trying to accomplish as a company.

Certainly with the advancement of technology, the delivery method by which corporate communications is consumed has changed significantly. We have worked hard at staying ahead of the technology curve and provide clients with all of the digital and analytical tools that will help their corporate message to be heard loud and clear.

As I re-read this article a decade later, despite the advancements in technology, the fundamental importance of how one goes about communicating their corporate storytelling still remains the same.

I hope you enjoy this story as much as I enjoy sharing it with you.
