      These words try to make the incomprehensible comprehensible. Spirituality drips from this poem. She clearly believes in the force of the unseen.

  • we were persuaded through sending out a one way communication where we talked, they acted.

      'We' being the Media
  • They acted by ignoring or buying.
    • Carolyn Reeb
      Carolyn Reeb on 30 Jan 14
       
      'They' being the consumer or viewer (us as the audience)
  • numbers, the ROI, the reach, frequency, impressions and the sales dollars

      ROI=Return on Investment (we are the reactionary viewers -- they must decide if it's worth it in monetary value)
  • ...25 more annotations...
  • What was ignored was the word of mouth, brand loyalty that was built as well as evaluating what you were saying to your audience that  persuaded them to buy. Was it price? Competitor’s failure to communicate? What are you saying to your audience that persuades them to notice, comprehend and take action?
    • Carolyn Reeb
      Carolyn Reeb on 30 Jan 14
       
      MOTIVATION to buy -- the power of persuasion we will look at is in language of the mass media
  • We are constantly communicating a message verbally and non verbally
  • facial expression
  • we exist
    • Carolyn Reeb
      Carolyn Reeb on 30 Jan 14
       
      Again = THE MEDIA (we) EXIST = they impose their presence on us (PART 2, Media Placement)
  • how we are better than the rest and how we can solve their problem
    • Carolyn Reeb
      Carolyn Reeb on 30 Jan 14
       
      By what persuasive techniques? 
  • communicate to create dialogue, conversation and engagement. We are establishing a communication channel that is persuading people to listen.
  • If they do not accept the message they act by either voicing their opinion or ignoring.
  • we communicate, we are persuading
    • Carolyn Reeb
      Carolyn Reeb on 30 Jan 14
       
      AGAIN! The Media (we) is INTENT on persuading
  • are persuading them to listen, accept, comprehend and act
  • stages of brand perception and acceptance.
    • Carolyn Reeb
      Carolyn Reeb on 30 Jan 14
       
      CLick this = ways of persuasion = brand acceptance! Brand loyalty is POWERFUL
  • We buy from people/a brand that we hear,
    • Carolyn Reeb
      Carolyn Reeb on 30 Jan 14
       
      Now the 'we' is also identifying the media as the consmer = put ourselves in 'their' shoes
  • Crafting a message
  • needs to guide and direct them
  • to persuade them and the repeats to buy
  • Unaware. Introducing your brand
  • Aware. Those that are aware but not yet sold on your message
  • need to be nurtured and pushed along through repeat communications.
  • Acceptance. Are they accepting what you are saying?
  • We trust people/brands that make us trust them.
  • Action. We want people to take action from our communications.
  • In social media we are visual.
  • Aristotle in his book, The Art of Rhetoric, equated communication to persuasion.

  • Serhiy Zhadan
  • Zhadan’s beating has caused a great deal of protest among Russians, and referred me to a statement released by the Russian PEN Center, which reads, in part, “We are observing a severe noetic crisis, akin to what was described by Orwell: the meanings of the words ‘peace,’ ‘war,’ ‘fascism,’ and ’democracy,’ ‘defense,’ and ‘invasion’ are shamelessly warped.”)
