From a learning and training perspective this really resonates with me. This article builds on the old tried and true adage of ‘linking your message to something they already know’.

In this way people use something they are completely comfortable with as a strong memory hook and then you cleverly help them link your new information to it. The novelty also helps people remember your message. I believe that like many of the best innovations, this is a really simple idea with a new twist.

Love it!

I liked this simple discussion of the effectiveness of using well-loved stories to get the interest of an audience and give them a memorable frame to hang our infomercial on. I will be using this.

Thanks for that.
