In a world driven by innovation, disruption, and rapidly evolving technology, authenticity can sometimes feel like an afterthought. But if my journey—from journalist to storyteller in the tech industry—has taught me anything, it’s that authentic storytelling isn’t just a ‘nice-to-have.’ It’s the key to building meaningful connections, even in B2B technology.

From Newsrooms to Boardrooms: The Constant Thread of Storytelling
I spent years in newsrooms at CBC News and CTV News, telling stories that informed, inspired, and connected audiences. Later, my work at The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation reinforced the power of storytelling in driving impact. No matter the industry, one truth remains: people don’t just remember data, they remember stories.
Technology is complex, but the emotions and human experiences behind it are universal. A cybersecurity platform isn’t just about encryption—it’s about safeguarding businesses from threats that could cripple livelihoods. AI-powered solutions aren’t just about automation—they’re about freeing people from mundane tasks so they can focus on what truly matters. The best tech companies don’t just talk about features; they tell compelling stories about the problems they solve and the lives they improve.Why Authenticity Matters in B2B Tech
The B2B tech landscape is often crowded with jargon, buzzwords, and abstract promises. But customers—whether they’re CIOs, developers, or business leaders—are still human. They want to engage with brands that speak their language, acknowledge their pain points, and provide real solutions.
Authenticity in storytelling means:
- Telling stories that resonate, not just sell
- Speaking like a human, not a press release
- Showcasing real customer challenges and successes
- Owning up to failures and lessons learned
Lead with Stories, Not Just Specs
As technology advances, the need for genuine connection remains unchanged. Whether you’re a founder, marketer, or developer, embracing storytelling as a core part of your messaging can make all the difference. Your authentic voice is your differentiator.
Tech isn’t just about what we build—it’s about why we build it and who we build it for. And the best way to communicate that? Tell a story worth remembering.
As the head of marketing at Dejero, I see firsthand how mission-critical connectivity can help save lives. Whether enabling first responders to communicate in disaster zones or ensuring journalists can broadcast from remote locations, the power of technology lies in its ability to connect, protect, and empower people. That’s the story worth telling.
