"INDUSTRY'S BEST STORYTELLER" -
As a successful author, creative thinker, entrepreneur and speaker, I have deployed storytelling to convey the insights and wisdom that have helped over 500 companies up their game. This approach has seen me named our industry’s best storyteller by AdLounge and a consistently top-rated keynote speaker from creative to business communities alike.
It would be an honour to share my hard-earned wisdom with you.
Neil McOstrich,
Founding Partner, Chief Storytelling Officer
Cleansheet Communications
Over 500 companies have upped their game working with Neil.
I believe storytelling is the essence of all great communication. As such, for 30 years, I have sought to convey human insights through hopeful creativity to build great brands. Brands that inspire customers and corporations in equal measure. Because when internal and external audiences are galvanized around the same motivation, the results delivered are always exponential.
​
I have had the good fortune to work on brands as famous as the Caramilk Secret, for entrepreneurs as celebrated as Phil Knight and Nike and for brands as nation-building and iconic as Canadian Tire. As proof of my approach, my creative leadership has been acknowledged with 5 Agency of the Year Awards for business-accelerating results.
Neil was voted a top speaker at our conference in Banff. Given that included speakers from X-Box, Coke, Cirque du Soliel and the Dallas Cowboys, that’s saying something.
