How to Engage Your Readers with Powerful InfographicsJon Hirst
This document provides guidance on creating effective infographics to engage readers. It discusses the challenges of too much unfiltered information and consumers who skim rather than read deeply. Good infographics require curating meaningful data, following influencers, reading intentionally, and knowing where to find related information. When popularizing complex concepts, simplicity through idea chunks, understandable visuals, and accessible, actionable information is key. Infographics must show, not tell, balance design and content, and ensure the visuals accurately represent the data without adding confusion or changing the meaning. The process involves identifying impactful data insights, packaging them compellingly, adding a hook, and developing a cohesive visual narrative and structure that is easy to follow and share.
The document provides practical tips for leveraging millennials' talents in the workplace. It suggests seeking first to understand millennials before being understood, as they have been influenced by technology and need praise. It recommends providing flexibility, staying connected with millennials, and giving essential feedback, as millennials will mistake silence for disapproval. Feedback is important for their self-esteem development.

“The Effects of Source Credibility Perceptions and Ego-Involvement on Green M...Lukas Treu
The present study examines the persuasive effects of green marketing appeals by corporations from industries with highly-publicized histories of environmental disregard, specifically multinational petroleum corporations (MPC’s). Prior research has been done regarding corporate environmental communication and perceived environmental legitimacy, or credibility regarding the firm’s relationship with the environment. Research specifically investigating the persuasive effectiveness of green marketing, however, by traditionally environmentally-unfriendly companies is extremely sparse. It is for this reason that this study attempted to measure audience perceptions of oil companies as credible sources of information. These perceptions were based off appeals by these companies focused on proper interactions with the environment. A secondary focus of the study was an examination of whether or not an audience member’s ego involvement with the environment significantly influences their likelihood of being persuaded by an appeal. The study was conducted with undergraduate students from a small, Midwestern liberal arts university serving as participants and specifically examines whether a televised, environmentally-based advertisement from Chevron Corporation entitled Untapped Energy increased the company’s perceived environmental legitimacy among viewers as well as how viewer involvement factors into this process.
This document discusses the four Ps of green marketing - product, price, place, and promotion. For product, it discusses developing environmentally friendly products that satisfy customer needs or have less environmental impact than competitors. For price, it notes customers may pay more for perceived better value or environmental benefits. For place, it says green products should be broadly available rather than just niche markets. For promotion, it covers various promotional strategies green marketers can use like public relations and advertising to effectively promote green products and services.
Impact of Green Marketed Product on Consumer Purchase DecisionKUMAR GAURAV
Research is conducted to analyse the impact of green marketed product on consumer purchase decision and to know what percent of the sample population is aware of green marketing or product manufactured through green process and their attitude towards it.
Major findings are-
* Consumer awareness towards green marketing products is high, a large no.
population approximately 55 percent is aware about green marketing.
* Consumer are ready to pay extra amount for green marketed product as they believe they are manufactured without harming environment which gives them a feeling socially responsible person and at the same time they believe green products are good for health.
Suggestions-
Government can play a very important role in promoting and creating awareness about the green marketing which is equally good for the environment, customer and for producers. Therefore govt. should try to take some necessary action.

As part of my college project, I applied my learning in brand strategy to create a comprehensive project for a luxury handloom saree brand. Key aspects of this project included:
- *Competitor Analysis:* Conducted in-depth competitor analysis to identify market position and differentiation opportunities.
- *Target Audience:* Defined and segmented the target audience to tailor brand messages effectively.
- *Brand Strategy:* Developed a detailed brand strategy to enhance market presence and appeal.
- *Brand Perception:* Analyzed and shaped the brand perception to align with luxury and heritage values.
- *Brand Ladder:* Created a brand ladder to outline the brand's core values, benefits, and attributes.
- *Brand Architecture:* Established a cohesive brand architecture to ensure consistency across all brand touchpoints.
This project helped me gain practical experience in brand strategy, from research and analysis to strategic planning and implementation.

Good afternoon. My name is Lukas Treu and I’ll be talking to you a bit today about content creation as it related to in-app mobile content and beyond.
First, to answer your brewing questions of who the heck this guy is. I hold several positions currently…
Chiefly I am here to talk to you in my capacity as the owner of a freelance writing and content strategy business, The Mad Dash. I do marketing writing, copywriting and content consulting for a variety of clients
I am also a Content Architect at AKHIA, an integrated marketing agency located in Hudson. My job is to plan and produce content, whether that is a bylined trade article, a branding narrative, a thought leadership whitepaper or an email campaign. I am a writer, but I’m more than that, too… I’m a brand storyteller.
I am also the Executive Vice President/President-Elect for the Cleveland Chapter of the American Marketing Association, which is where I first met Jeff. I led the Communication Committee as VP of Communications before that.
As far as my mobile app experience, I served as the Communication Lead for a small tech startup called SnapBatch (which I believe Jeff mentioned earlier) that developed a real-time, interactive mobile gaming platform for live sporting events. In that capacity I worked a bit indirectly with Mike Conley, who you heard speak a little bit ago.
I know that my job today is to primarily talk to you about the content that will drive your mobile app, and I promise we will get more in-the-weeds about that.
First, however, I’d like to start by driving home a very important point: If you’re in charge of content creation and communication for a mobile app company—especially a startup—your duties will seldom end with choosing the words that go inside your app… You will likely be tasked with much more as you company grows.
When I was the Communication Lead at SnapBatch, I was originally brought in to help write copy for a PowerPoint. Soon after it was web copy. Then I was consulting on the mobile app itself. It wasn’t long before I was handling the entire voice of the brand, from social media to marketing material to wording of every question and menu item that fell under the broad umbrella of “communications” for the company.
My point is this: A large part of what will ultimately determine your success in communicating within and about your app is having a comprehensive understanding of the tasks before you. Creating quality content, and a strong strategy to guide that content, takes time… So make sure you understand everything that is going to be on your plate so you can make a plan and execute on it.
And with that, let’s get into it.
As a point of clarification, I am mostly going to be talking to you today about written content, not design… Matt will cover more of that in his User Experience presentation later, so I’ll still to words for now.
Before we talk about the “good”, let’s talk about the “bad” for a minute. Sometimes it is easier to pinpoint what you don’t like than what you do.
I’ll start by asking this: Who here can give me an example of “bad” written content they have seen within an app?
*If silent* If you can’t think of an example, how about making one up. What might constitute something about an app’s content that would make you dislike or distrust it?
Typos?
Broken English?
Weird Punctuation?
There are a lot of things that might turn you off to an app, and they’re not all as obvious as these examples
So what SHOULD you do? Let’s take a look
Let’s start high-level. Maybe you haven’t even thought of your app idea yet, maybe you have
Maybe you know what you want to do, but you don’t know how to market it
Maybe you know what you want to do and how you want to market it, but don’t know exactly what to say
Whatever the case, believe it or not, there are actually some ideas that are proven to be BETTER than others… at least when it comes to audience members remembering what they are
There was a great book on this topic written fairly recently called “Made to Stick” by Dan and Chip Heath… one is a long-time academic, the other a long-time professional. In the book they outline the six proven steps, based on decades of research, that make ideas stick in the minds of their audiences.
Before I explain them, think for a minute about all the advertising or marketing messaging you’ve ever been exposed to. There’s probably some you remember from long, long ago… and other stuff you may have just seen, but forget about. There are reasons for that.
I could give an entire presentation just on this topic, but for the sake of time, I’ll give a quick synopsis before moving on:
SIMPLE – Simple ideas are easier to remember. It makes sense, right? This applies to messages, plans… you name it. For example, Southwest has an internal motto that they will be “THE low cost airline”, and that simple principle guides every decision they make. It’s simple, and people remember it, leading to great success. Remember this when you’re coming up with your app concept, name, pitch, etc… if you can’t explain to an investor in a simple, easy-to-remember manner what your app is, you probably won’t get funding
UNEXPECTED – Ideas also stick with people when they are unexpected. An example in the book cites a flight attendant that dispensed with the usual corporate wording when giving the safety instructions, choosing a borderline sarcastic, humorous approach instead. “For anyone who hasn’t ridden an airplane since the early 70s, this is how a seatbelt works”. Guess what – people listened.
CREDIBLE – Ideas that are credible stick around, too. Source credibilty is the foundation of persuasion, as any of you who has studied rhetoric may know, and having experts, testimonials or other means of backing up what your saying makes a huge difference
CONCRETE – Concrete ideas are things the audience can picture, or have a pre-existing notion about. Have any of you seen the Onion video about HP’s new cloud offering? You should, anyway. It pokes fun at the fact that people talk about the cloud as an abstract thing that is difficult to picture… But if you put something in concrete terms, it sticks with the audience
EMOTIONAL – Emotions are hugely powerful in influencing memory and connection with a moment or thing, so use it to your advantage. Strong emotions, sometimes good or bad, can have great impact
STORIES – Finally, humans have developed to think in stories… We all have a narrative in our minds that makes up our concept of our lives, for example. It may SEEM like facts and figures hold the most power, but realistically a well-told story is far more effective
One more theory slide… Let’s talk about what makes things shareable
If you’re making an app, you don’t just want it to be memorable… you want people to share it
Jonah Berger wrote a great book much in the style of the Heath brothers called Contagious that talks about the six factors, according to compiled research, that affects sharing
SOCIAL CURRENCY – The first factor is social currency… basically, does it make you look cool, or at least better in the eyes of others? Do you look informed, trendy, or so on if you use this product or do this thing? Think about the Ice Bucket Challenge… that was almost entirely driven by social currency
TRIGGERS – People are triggered to share things when certain things happen… you can see it in search result data. Anyone want to guess when there are the most searches for, and shares, of Rebecca Black’s “Friday”? How about that “Hump Day commercial?” It doesn’t have to be a day, but there are triggers everywhere
EMOTIONS – We said it in the last slide and we’ll say it again… emotions are powerful. Not only do they impact memory, they impact sharing, too
PUBLIC – If something is made to be public or publicized, Prof. Berger says “if it is built to show, it is built to grow”. Again, Ice Bucket Challenge. Were it not for being totally public (film yourself and call people out publically) it would not have been as wildly successful
PRACTICAL VALUE – People share things that are useful, basically. Think about it… if you were going to tweet out an article or resource, would you pick one that was dumb or unhelpful? No, you share things you find valuable
STORIES – Again, a repeat from “sticky ideas”… Humans and stories are tight, basically. They’re easier to remember and easier to share
You heard a bit about it before when Jeff spoke, but I’ll say it again: One of the cardinal rules of communicating—whether in an app of otherwise—is to remember who you are speaking to.
Are you making an app for kids? There’s a certain level of diction… vocabulary… and comprehensive that goes with that. Are you making it for hardcore sports fans? There’s appropriate wording and tonality to use there, too
Are you talking to this guy… or these guys? It matters.
It’s about more than tone, though. Don’t think just about your words as words, but as a gateway into the psyche of your target audience.
What do they relate to? What do they connect with?
You want to use language, syntax, schemas (a conception of what is common to all members of a class) etc. that they will relate to.
Also, know their desires, frustrations and motivators. Beyond the wording you produce, think about your audience persona(s) and how they live, think, and spend their time. Ask yourself what they want, and where they are going to look for it. Then ask yourself how you can provide an answer
You want your audience to like, and become invested in, your brand and product, whether they realize it outright or not. Find the best way to convert your audience into fans by speaking to them where they are and making them comfortable
Our second tip has to do with brand voice.
You’ll notice, if you look for it, that most brands choose a brand voice or “tone” and stick with it
For instance, let’s look at banking apps quickly as an example. What sort of voice would you expect a bank to have?
Right, a serious tone… They want to be seen as trustworthy and no nonsense. Usually.
Capital One 360, formerly ING Direct, is different. They’re online-only for the most part, but otherwise they’re a bank like any other
What is different is their brand voice. They don’t sound like a bank, even though everything about their offerings tells you they are
This is an example of their brand voice. Do you see what I mean? Short, simple sentences. It isn’t untrustworthy, but it’s different enough to stand out
There’s nothing wrong with having a serious brand voice at all… Just make sure whatever you choose makes sense for your product
Alright, number 3. We’re going to take a step back from the app itself for a moment, but we’re going to stay on the topic of consistency
Once you have established a brand voice, it is important to remain consistent across ALL your communication channels, not just in the app
If Capital One 360, the example I showed in the last slide, established a short, succinct, borderline playful style in their mobile app but not on their online banking site, would it work? No.
Studies have shown again and again that people seek out consistency from brands, and they are thrown off when they don’t see it. We naturally look for patterns in the world, and notice when they are broken
Speaking of studies, I attended Content Marketing World last week… it was a 2,500-person conference here in Cleveland attended by many of the top minds in content marketing around the world…
… As a quick aside, if you aren’t familiar with content marketing, it is a very quickly growing trend in the marketing world that sees brand marketers moving away from traditional advertising and marketing collateral that is all about their brand and toward a model of creating useful content that their audience wants to use. Basically, instead of saying “Hey, look how awesome we are, buy our stuff”, brands are saying “Hey, here is something helpful that you need or want. Want to get to know us better? We’ve got more…”
… Anyway, one of the speakers, a professor from UNC, gave a fascinating talk about the psychology of brand attachment… anyone a psych major or minor here? Well I was and I nerd out about this stuff a bit, so bear with me… Anyhow, the idea behind brand attachment is that researchers are finding that people form attachments to brands using the same part of the brain they use for emotions (the limbic system), not the part of the brain they use for rational thought (the pre-frontal cortex).
It has major implications for marketing, but for the topic at hand, it means that people can become as attached to say, Apple, as they can to a friend… at least physiologically speaking. How this plays into consistency is that we expect people to be the same person from situation to situation, and we notice if they don’t. The same applies for your app and your overall brand – maintain a consistent voice from your app to your site to your social channels to be taken seriously
To stay on the topic of tone for just a moment longer, let’s talk about empathy
One of the most powerful tools you have at your disposal as a communicator is empathy. We talked about how important emotions are to brand attachment a moment ago, and it is important to not only know your audience, but knowing how they are feeling
Let’s say you make a fitness app, and a user just established a new personal record for running a mile, for example. What is an appropriate message?
“You set a record.”? No.
Let’s say you build a quiz game for your app. If a player loses a match, what is a an appropriate message?
“You’re the loser!”? No.
You can say things accurately, but remember to empathize with the user in HOW you say it. If they are likely excited, be excited. Use exclamation marks. Put glowy things in the background if you want. But if they lose, consider phrasing like, “You lost, but better luck next time!” or “Sorry, but try again soon.”
If you can break it, break it.
The world is full of people who will not go out of their way to try to figure out what you “meant”
Find anything that could be misinterpreted
Find anything unclear (especially in directions and FAQs!)
Find anything that could be offensive
Find anything that may not work as intended
If you don’t someone will
Not to lob a softball to Matt, but user experience design… meaning the flow of the app, from graphic design to menus to wireframes… is hugely important
The content you write needs to fit into that flow seamlessly
Collaborate and communicate clearly internally, using whatever tools are necessary
You’ll end up with a better end result
Before you get too word crazy, remember you’re writing for a fairly small screen… not that they don’t keep getting bigger.
Your content needs to fit neatly within set parameters within your app
You don’t want clutter or scrolling
When we developed questions for SnapBatch, we always had to make some tweaks because they had to fit neatly within the screen
Remember that even if you have an iPhone 6+, someone out there has a way smaller screen that they’ll try to use
Finally, know what you need to do legally to be safe
Your app probably needs a Terms of Service to which users must agree
It probably needs a Privacy Policy
Be careful not to violate anyone’s copyright (images, for instance)
Trademark your stuff and read what you sign
Consult a lawyer or knowledgeable professional before you go to market!
Many of these tenets apply equally well to other messaging, from marketing collateral to social media posts. Keep it in mind!
The more you can remove yourself from the equation as you become more and more ingrained in the app projects… thinking from your audience’s perspective instead, the better off you’ll be
Creativity is hugely beneficial, but remember that there are some things (like our sticky ideas and contagious content) that simply work better
Finally, if you pursue something you don’t love, it will likely fail. App projects take a lot of work and dedication, and the more you’re invested, the more likely others will become so
If you have any questions or want to reach out about anything, you can find me on Twitter and LinkedIn easily… Otherwise I can give you a business card if you’re interested. Thank you for your attention, and I hope it helps!
