A practical session where Amro Maskoun, Patrick Daoud, and Yara Bou Monsef show how storytelling has moved from art to narrative architecture designing not just what people watch, but how they feel, decide, and trust. We’ll break down the psychology of attention, go beyond going viral, and share simple frameworks you can use right away over spectacle, and ethics as a growth engine.
