Imagine the power of a story so captivating it elevates a brand into an experience. That's the realm where Micki Pagano and Tony Parente of Branding build their business. Bringing their Madison Avenue savvy to the art of branded video storytelling as they went into a transition from traditional advertising to creating narratives that forge an emotional bond between brands and audiences. Micki presents "The Road to Beyond," her book that offers a profound reflection on the 9/11 events, reminding us of the healing nature of storytelling in the wake of tragedy.
Our conversation shifts to the essence of emotional connection in advertising — where each scene is meticulously crafted to resonate and achieve strategic aims for clients. Micki and Tony open up about the challenges and rewards of working with real people and the authenticity they bring to the screen, in stark contrast to professional actors. They also underscore the irreplaceable value of human insight in an increasingly AI-dominated content creation landscape, stressing that technology may be a tool, but the heart of storytelling is forever human.
