Initiative Theme 2024
The A’Pelago Initiative theme in 2024 is 'Narrative'.
In the series of events we will focus on branding and storytelling, i.e. how will we adress the biggest challenges of the Archipelago Sea Region and what kind of services and solutions there are for the sustainable development of the region with the power of better presenting our visions. New business ideas will be given a slot at the events to address these issues, and also the services of local entrepreneurs will be presented. In addition, the events will offer knowledge, talks, debates, and workshops on specific issues and solutions relating to the Archipelago Sea Region.
An appropriate definition of content marketing based on a 'Narrative' is quoted here: "Narrative Marketing is the multi-disciplinary management of how the brand story unfolds to, and connects emotionally with, the audience to inspire desired actions. It is achieved through the co-creation of stories with customers, staff and publics within a designed story world."
