ROI in storytelling

ROI in storytelling

ROI is generally defined as ‘Return on Investment’ and almost always concerns ideas of business and finance. Let me put a slant on this for you – have you ever wondered about how much ‘return’ you would get if you invested in acquiring knowledge from storytelling?

Stories from all over the world are full of intrigue, suspense, espionage and pure entertainment.
