In this episode, we explore how storytelling drives trust, credibility, and long-term loyalty in B2B, within the highly complex world of shipping and logistics.

Our guest is Samantha Almon Adeluwoye, Global Head of Content, Social Media, & Storytelling at A.P. Moller – Maersk.

Samantha shares how storytelling at Maersk is grounded in the company’s values and its responsibility as a trusted custodian of customers’ goods. Rather than being separate from operations, human stories are used to strengthen confidence in Maersk’s reliability, care, and expertise — helping customers connect emotionally while trusting operational excellence.

The conversation also explores how social media functions as a strategic relationship engine in B2B, enabling connection across complex decision-making ecosystems while reinforcing trust over time. Samantha offers insight into how consistent, values-led storytelling supports retention, referral, and long-term partnerships in an industry where credibility is everything.

With a strong track record of delivering engaging, purposeful content at global scale, Samantha provides a thoughtful perspective on how human storytelling and operational capability work together to build loyalty.

This episode is hosted by Nyeleti Sue-Angel Nkuna.
