KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The world of marketing is full of fluff and consumers are sick of it.
- Theories, guru speak, jargon and wordiness are all examples of fluff.
- Proper images tell a story. Stop using stock photos, they look awful and don´t quite fit what you need to say.
- Post content consistently.
- Using too many adverbs, adjectives and superlatives is counterproductive. It puts people off.
- Know your audience. If they like emojis or slang, include some.
- Don´t bang on about yourself all of the time.
BEST MOMENTS
‘He talks too slow and by the time he gets to the point, you´re dead. ´
‘Consistency is key.’
‘What s**t can you strip out?’
