— Grant McCracken, the anthropologist and media consultant

ENABLING FANDOM APPROACH
INBOUND IS A PREMIER EVENTWe will leverage transmedia story telling to bring the event to lifeDef. Parallel and non-linear timelines, ‘multi-verses’, grand narratives with crazy-rich character arcs, ‘back-story’ has become ‘more story’, the opportunity to add Byzantine layers of meaning and depth. You don’t create a story world by stripping away, but by layering.
