In Beyond Storytelling: The Power of Narrative in the Experience Economy, Theron Skees challenges experience creators, designers, and brand leaders to rethink the role of story—not as an artistic layer, but as a strategic engine that builds meaning, consistency, and trust across every brand touchpoint.
Through his framework, Narrative Experience Design – an experience-centric method that begins with purpose and integrates audience insight and business goals – Skees reveals how to connect brands and customers through emotionally resonant expressions across digital, physical, and human channels, transforming them into engaged audiences.
The result is cohesion and clarity: one lived narrative that teams align behind and audiences return to, again and again.
Because the future of our craft lies beyond storytelling—in designing narratives that don’t just entertain, but transform.
