Creating Ideas that Stick

  Persuasive (sticky) ideas:
  Sticky = understandable, memorable, and effective in changing
           thought or behaviour

  Six Principles:
                     •   S   -   Simple
                     •   U   -   Unexpected
                     •   C   -   Concrete
                     •   C   -   Credible
                     •   E   -   Emotions
                     •   S   -   Stories


                                  *Based on ideas from the book: Made to Stick, by Dan and Chip Heath
