Content that connects. Messages that make an impact. Stories that set you apart.

StoryUp is the storytelling partner for purpose-led people and organisations in regional Australia. Let’s unlock your best stories, craft them to perfection, and tell them with strategy + spark.

I’m Bron O’Shea, founder of StoryUp. And I love getting to the heart of a story. In my 15 years with ABC radio I brought over 17,000 stories to life. Now I craft creative content and deliver storytelling coaching to help you tell your stories with maximum impact. Whether it’s delighting your customers, engaging your community, or inspiring action for your cause. Better storytelling starts here. 

Let’s StoryUp!

UNLOCK YOUR IDEAS

StoryUp has its heart and headquarters in regional Australia, and telling regional stories is what I do best. There’ll be no naive assumptions or condescending remarks about regional life or business from me. I’ve lived and worked in regional communities all my life, so we’re on the same page.

Regional. And proud of it.

Strategy + Spark =
the StoryUp approach

I can touch type and fire twirl (not at the same time…yet), and that sums up the fusion of order and creativity I bring to our work together.

I make sure we embed a clear purpose and outcomes from the start, so your storytelling is intentional and packs a punch. Whether I’m wrangling your words, growing your skills, or coaching you to storytelling success, the approach is strategic. And we’ll have fun doing it!

What’s all the fuss about business storytelling?

Why does storytelling make good business sense? Because humans are hardwired for stories (the science is clear: our brains love a good story!). So if you want your idea, product or service to be memorable, you need to do more than reel off facts and figures.

You need to tell compelling stories that:

Engage your audience.
Connect with your customers.
Convince your stakeholders.
And help you achieve your goals.

That’s my thing.

Never bore an audience again.

When it’s your turn to speak, you want to make it memorable. Because who can afford to be boring? I offer customised, fun, supportive sessions ( in-person or online) to level up your storytelling. The upshot? You’ll have the skills and confidence to talk about what you do, and why it matters - from BBQ to boardroom and everywhere in between.
