2. How effective
do we
communicate
today?

3. These days, the
average human
attention span is
just 8 seconds
long…

4. …yet a goldfish’s attention
span is 9 seconds long.
(this is not a typo)

5. In 1998, the human
attention span was
12 minutes.

6. 2008 it was 5 minutes.

7. But
why is
this
happening??

8. Research reveals our attention
span is smaller than ever due to…

9. Computers
Smartphones
Tablets

10. The average human switches between
devices as many as 21 times an hour.
(That’s more than once every 3 minutes)

11. Consuming 100,500 words outside of
work on an average day.

12. And being
bombarded with
the equivalent of
174
newspapers
of information per
day.

13. This is 5X as much information as
1986.

14. The speed and velocity of information
has changed our ability to focus

15. And all of this is
making humans
less
attentive
and more
anxious
than ever before!

16. Think about it
Where is
my iPad?

17. 90% of information transmitted to
the brain is visual.

19. 40%of people will respond better to
visual information than plain text.

20. And 60% of people are visual learners
(That’s over half our
population)

21. Try this…
…Explain a square

22. fkflfj
Geometric shape
with four lines
connecting four
degree angles.

23. Or how about this?
Visuals are easier to understand

24. People retain 80% of what they see
and only 20% of what they read.

25. Words are processed by short-term
memory.
Shorter
retention

26. Visuals are processed
in our long-term
memory.
Better
retention

27. Research reveals that digital signage
increases:
Brand Awareness Sales Volume
Average Purchase Amount Visitor Traffic

28. Sounds great, but what is the solution?

29. Engagement leads to increased
awareness, focus and retention.

30. Q: How are you going to communicate
to your audience?

31. When he describes it… I can
taste it!
Speak with PASSION
Engage your
audience with
PASSION

32. You have shared
your
PASSION
when others
take it with
them.

33. Share your
PASSION
each time
you speak.

34. Speak so they can see what you are
talking about!

35. If they can visualize it
they can retain it.
