Verbal Design
is the practical business art of
cultivating powerful, empowering
relationships with words in a world
saturated with corporate messaging
and social networking
WORDS ARE NUTRITION.
IMAGES ARE DRUGS.
"Why the Iconic Big Print?"
Words Are Nutrition.
IMAGES ARE DRUGS.
Each can be your saving grace
or really mess you up.
The Word is the Law of the Land.
The Light is the Language of the Mind.
Together these two key representational systems
serve as the watchdogs of human perception
therefore reign as the gatekeepers
of human behavior.
Branders, namely all of us,
administer meds and food.
Our responsibility is crucial.
Be ever kind and mindful
of such Mental Flesh ingestibles.
The better you eat, the better your medicine.
Bring people tasty word chow.
Turn folks onto valuable highs.
Serve the world via verbal design.
Help lives sing, dance and shine.
INCREASE YOUR
POWER WITH WORDS
ACROSS ALL
MARKETING
CHANNELS
Verbal Design Benefits
VERBAL DESIGN expertise will advance and enhance
your whole ecosystem of word-fueled communications.
Resourcefully converse with your
prospects, clients and advocates.
Create content that delivers value,
generates enthusiasm, drives sales.
Now you and your team can learn how
to master the fundamental practices.
Why Try Verbal Design?
Make your tweets sing.
Make your posts pop.
Make your blogs rock.
Make your offers instantly enticing and effective.
Optimize your brand architecture.
Fine-tune your company messaging.
Train your team for high-caliber creative
that inspires confidence & satisfies emotions.
One crucial element of content creation is Verbal Design.
When conversing in person, less than 10% of what you tend to
actually communicate to other people is your verbal content.
The vast majority of your meaning is conveyed through your
tonality, appearance, gesture, and body language.
But in print forms -- email, text, web copy, blogs, tweets, posts,
articles, newsletters, etc. -- your words must carry much to most
of the meaning and re-present your team all over the written world.
Even with in-person communications, your words form the
structural framework, the skeleton you flesh out and dress up
with your personality, tonality, et al. Verbal Design is your spine.
High quality, audience value, and search relevance are the master
keys to social media content. We all need even better writing skills.
