Michigan Economic Growth Institute Forum: Learn How to Tell Your Story

By using the seven timeless and universal elements of storytelling, businesses and organizations can reach new audiences. 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.
The Economic Growth Institute works to leverage the resources of the university along with other public/private resources, research, technology and expertise in order to foster innovation and economic growth.

The forum will delve into areas such as workforce development, strategic planning and business growth, offering practical takeaways and actionable strategies. 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.
