Many things you've said are absolutely critical to all types of communication. One key point that i really want to echo for everybody to really internalize, is you have to adjust and adapt the message for that audience. For messages, a message that's brilliant to day might be met with blank stares t years ago or two years from now. And then finally, messages need to be memorable. They need to be sticky, because the more memorable the message, the greater its ability to change.
“Anyone can make a complicated thing sound complicated. It takes real skill to make it sound simple.”
This episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart features Steve Blank, seasoned entrepreneur, marketer, and Stanford adjunct professor in the Department of Management Science and Engineering.
“Messages need to be memorable,” he tells podcast host and strategic communications lecturer Matt Abrahams. “The more memorable the message, the greater its ability to create change.”
Blank teaches courses on Lean Startups, innovation, and entrepreneurship, and throughout his 45 years of launching businesses and helping others do the same, he’s learned the importance of crafting the perfect message by keeping it simple.
