OMH Creative Storied Teams works, "to identify your audience, slip on their shoes, and figure out what they find entertaining and useful." They take your message and their expertise to craft marketing "infotainment" (as they call it) that gets and keeps your audience's attention.

Aaron J. Jacobs — CEO, OMH Creative/Storied Teams

Aaron launched OMH Creative in 2012 after several years of working as a consultant for Microsoft. OMH Creative isn't his first entrepreneurial rodeo, though. From 2004 through 2012, Aaron ran Reel Extras / AJ Casting, a Seattle-area background talent casting agency for the TV, film, and commercial industries. With his innovative methods for bringing the casting process into the 21st century, the agency became the go-to service for the region.

What Will I Learn about Non-Sucky Webinars?

Together, Lauren and Aaron will take you step by step through the three biggies of good webinars: Engagement, Planning, and Storytelling.

Engagement -

Get tips for grabbing your audience beyond polls and standard Q&A, and learn how to make sure your attendees are invested.
