Magnetic Messaging: How to Make People Feel Your Brand
People don’t fall in love with what you do — they fall in love with how you make them feel. In this insightful and energizing keynote, brand strategist Mateo Lin will walk you through how to craft messaging that resonates on a deeper level. Drawing from his Resonance Framework and years of experience helping creatives find their voice, Mateo will show you how to clarify your message, connect with the right audience, and communicate with confidence — without ever sounding like anyone but yourself. If you’ve ever struggled to explain what you do (or why it matters), this is the mindset and messaging reset your brand has been waiting for.
