MORE LIKELY TO REMEMBER A BRAND AFTER A STORY THAN AFTER FACTS OR DATA ALONE
The emotional brain processes information 80,000 times faster than the rational brain. Decisions are made before conscious thought kicks in — the logic comes after, to justify what the feeling already decided.
Every piece of brand storytelling work Carl does is built on this foundation. Start with the feeling. Find the character. Create the conflict. Build the resolution. The framework is the same whether it's a 30-second film or a 12-month brand strategy.
It's the same framework that underpins the D&AD Masterclass in Emotional Creativity — used by brands and agencies internationally to build work that connects where it counts.

Why Emotional Storytelling works - the science behind the Masterclass
Neural Coupling
A story activate neural coupling - allowing listeners to turn a narrative into their own ideas and experiences. Crerating a connection with your craetive, brand or bsuiness.
Emotional feelings
Shared experiences connect people to people and the message they are receiving. Shared feelings also project into a desire to connect with others
Dopamine
Dopamine is released when your body experiences an emotionally-charged event making it memorable, creating a feeling of authenticity.
Cortex Activity
When processing facts only two areas of the brain are activated but when a story becomes emotive the expereince is longer lasting and shows as a higher experience.
DISCOVER THE POWER OF THE EMOTIONAL CREATIVITY
Course Snapshot
In this section give you a taster of Prt 1 - discover how our agency’s philosophy can give you a new approach to your work, brand or your business
You’ve learnt about creativity, branding or marketing. You have your favourite theories but most of the knowledge you have is probably based on books and practical tools that a haven’t had a chance to catch up with the new world of super computers and A.I. Why would they? This is a brand new world.
So we’d like to introduce you to a new power built on science fact and practical success. Welcome to the world of emotional creativity where:
Humans feel first and think second.
From the most shared videos of 2026 back to Dante + Shakespeare successful story structure has always been the same. So why not harness the power of human connectivity?
Character + Emotion + Conflict = Engagement
Now for the hard part. The part where you come in.
Are you prepared to take a long honest look at your approach, your brand or business? Does it have those 4 key parts?
Do people understand your brief, your brand’s character, why they should care?
Do they feel something when they look at your work or your channels. Is your emotional value consistent on every platform?
Do they understand what you can help your audience overcome? What your services can do for them, emotionally? Are your services making their lives easier?
Do your metrics really say people are watching, listening?
If you answer no, not sure, maybe maybe it’s time to get in touch
Using Emotions
Understanding the power of emotional creativity. Why should we care?
Bob Prince - Roofer. Good description but no one reading Bob’s sign has any idea why they should hire Bob? Why they should care?
Seems basic but consider most briefs and PPT’s do they start with the big question - why should I care?
Know why your audience cares + you’ll discover a whole host of emotional reason to build your campaign.
Developing a Campaign Hook
Now you can begin to develop a campaign hook that’ll work for you or your brand but…
Who are you talking to?
One of the biggest marketing changes in recent years is audeince first advertising and like good old fashioned movie studio logic you gotta know
- Who are you talking to, where are they and when are they needing your offer.
Be ready for production - Add a little Conflict
What is at stake?
What problem needs resolving? How can you help your audience for the better? Without conflict, there is no story — only description.
Conflict will give your social the spark it needs to stand out abd the audience the feeling you made their lives better
WHO IS THIS FOR
Create work that will connect with your audience no matter the platform
Sounds too good to be true - that’s the power of emotional creativity it connects with everyone, globally because we all make our decisions based on shared emotions.
What is different about our Masterclasses?
Most Workshops are either built of theory or untested practices. Our approach is tool based learning designed to give you practical knowledge you can immediately use in the real world. Ways to approach briefs, build campaigns and find fast solutions to content development. Our trainers have also been doing it for a while at quite a high level.
D&AD Approved · Brazil to BAFTA
Six years of D&AD approved masterclasses. International keynote speaking from São Paulo to BAFTA — methods, tested in different rooms, working every time.
Means each Masterclass has been developed over time according to the creative and media industries needs.
Masterclasses are hands on
Although you’ll be learning in a group it doesn’t mean you can’t get involved. Each Masterclass uses hands on examples to build a solution.
Those solutions, the solutions you develop, will help you build future work based on a coherent structure.
Beat the algorithms know the algorithms
You have to be in it to win it but you also have to know nobody knows nothing so what’s the solution?
The answer is you have to know what’s out there to ignore it or find an alternative. What doesn’t change is the way human being navigate the matrix of advertising alternatives. Every Masterclass harnesses that power.
