Effective communications
revolve around two or three

“A piece of information that you want
your audience to know and act upon.”
The message house
Messages need proof
Hard proof
• Statistics
• Trends
• Graphs
• Charts
• Percentages
• Voter turnout
Soft proof

Messages are simple
• We need clear, concise language that we can
understand
• We need two or three supporting statements
• The foundation is proof – hard or soft
Messages – the message house
Four questions
1. What’s the big picture?
2. What two or three supporting statements do
you have?

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. NotesI run a management communication training company. Clients come to me because they need to be able to write and speak clearly about their organisation, sector, policy positionsI do a lot writing and presentations skills training. But often the writing skills are not the entire problem. Often people don’t know what a message is.They don’t know what they are doing to their audiences.We often think
  2. Messages – what they are importantWe often think that message development is done by PR advertising gurus and copywriters - spin doctors, the dark arts.We think message development is the outcome of intense creative flush – but that is slogans and advertising and we will look at that.We are not do the marketing comms stuff today – that is advertising copyrighters work. We’re not come up with new advertising slogans.PR and communications a very fluffy things – not very scientific – but there are some models we can apply – some very home-made science which can help us to put structure to what we are sayingWhat we will do todayI will introduce some ideas – about messaging, how we can improveWe then get you to do a group task – plan some messages in groupsYou present to the groupWe discuss
  3. 2000 or 3000? It doesn’t matter – because we cannot process that amount of information anyway.So how do we cut through the clutter?Here are some principles for us to rememberHow many marketing messages do we see in a day? That’s a loaded question because people who should know better have been quoting guestimates for the last 15 years, including the one from Yankelvich Research (later quoted by the NY Times), that range from 3,000 to 20,000. Those higher numbers include every time you pass by a label in a grocery store, all the ads in your mailbox whether you see them or not, the label on everything you wear, etc.One of the sanest studies I came across said we see 247 images per day and probably don’t notice half of them even though we’ve been exposed. The fact that you and the message are in reasonable proximity for you to see it doesn’t mean you saw it. Our brains can’t truly process that many messages. We can’t notice, absorb, or even judge the personal merit of 3,000 visual attacks a day.The right message can link with our own desire or interest and get us to stop and look at it, watch it, or listen to it. An ad message that informs us about something we want will get noticed. If you’re lusting after a new, hot, American-made sports sedan, the Cadillac CTS TV, print, outdoor, or radio ad will catch your attention. The Ford pickup ad won’t register on your radar. So who cares if you saw it or not?Look at Times Square, for example. That has to be the densest concentration of buy-me messages on the planet. I’m guestimating myself, but I would think that if you stood on the top of the bleachers by the B’way ticket office in Times Square and slowly turned around while counting every ad on every DiamondVision, doorway, cab, bus, billboard, light pole, building, sandwich board, hawker, and flyer you’d come up with no less than 500 messages. That’s 20 minutes of overload in a perfect storm of advertising. But we don’t look at ads that way. We skim to see what speaks to or connects with our core wants, desires, and values. That’s why engagement is such a hot topic in marketing today.
