Content Tips: Finding Flow and Making Your Guide EngagingStaffan Gerlöw
Having a well functioning technical platform for your audio guide (which we make sure our customers do) is important, however, making your guide interesting, and marketing it, is the hard bit.
The guide itself is the actual “product” and engaging your visitors is essential. We are therefore putting together a content document (a guide to content ;) to share with our customers, or co-creators, as we can also think of each other.
This is a work-in-progress and we welcome your input and sharing of experiences!

7. If (last verse)
Try saying these with
different emotions
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
8. Planning
• Three distinct parts
– Start
– Middle
– Finish
How much time should we spend planning each
section?
Where is the maximum interest going to be?
9. Start
• Goal is to relax the audience, gain interest and
make a good 1st impression
• Title
– imaginative or surprising
• Rhetorical Question
– "What have the romans ever done for us?"
• Quotation
– "We never step into the same river twice" Heraclitus
• Statistic
– "90% of students who attend all lectures achieve a 1st"
• Also need to explain the format of the
presentation
10. Finish
• Referring back to opening
– "....as we identified at the start
• Summary
• Quotation
– "90% of project managers say that managing the
client's expectations is the most important part of
project management"
• Pertinent question
– "What do we feel is the most important part of project
management?"
11. Middle
• Use the "power of 3" format
– I came, I saw, I conquered
– location, location, location
– lies, dammed lies, and statistics
– Metaphors
• "Breaking through the glass ceiling"
– examples
– Stories
12. Basics
• Use appropriate language
• Check the room and equipment - bring a memory
stick
• Spell check and use UK English
• The presentation starts when you enter the room
and finishes when you leave.
13. Presentations skills are one
of the most important skills
in business
