Discovering the power of StoryBrand will be the topic when BigOrange Marketing CEO Margee Moore presents as a featured speaker at the University of Michigan’s Economic Growth Institute (EGI) Elevate Forum 2025.
This prestigious event, now in its second year, brings together businesses, community leaders and economic development professionals to explore the latest trends and strategies for fostering growth and prosperity.

Attendees will also have the chance to learn about the wealth of resources available to support their endeavors.
Our CEO’s presentation, “StoryBrand: Clarifying Your Brand Message” will share ways to engage website visitors, develop a memorable narrative for your brand, and get leads and grow. Margee will share insights gained from years of experience working with businesses of all sizes in the Midwest, especially managed service providers, manufacturers and those in the construction field.
