Wake the Old Brain


         Your messaging needs to:
         •  Make the status quo unsafe
         •  Challenge current assumptions
         •  Create urgency for change
         •  Show desired outcomes at risk

  Challenge-Focused Content

  convinces the prospect they
        need to change.

         you are using
         Personas and
          Voice of the
        Customer (VOC)
          to drive your
            message
         development.

Big Idea #2
Use proven Visual Storytelling
    “message objects” for
 appealing to the old brain
 and breaking free from the
     written-word trap.

      salespeople and
        tell prospects
        your story in a
      product launch.
