9. Conversation Prism
Using the traditional definition, a prism separates
white light into a spectrum of colors. The “white light”
in this case, is the focused stream of conversations
that are often grouped, but not separated by voice,
context, source, or outcome. We take this beam of
dialog and blast it into a spectrum of discernible light,
let’s call it enlightenment, to see, hear, learn and
adapt. We quite literally bring conversations to light.
Used figuratively, it references the clarification or
distortion afforded by a particular viewpoint…for
example, “We view conversations across the networks
through the prism of our social dashboard.”

article, etc

including CTAs asking people to share the piece of
content

on their actions to break up the monotony of typical email
campaigns

content)

graphic showcasing the new material
• Post a video on Facebook so you can boost it to targeted
audiences
