presentations, that headline was enough to pique their interest<br />

and give the software a try.<br />

Journalists learn to write headlines on the first day of<br />

J-school. Headlines are what persuade you to read particular<br />

stories in newspapers, magazines, or blogs. Headlines matter. As<br />

individuals become their own copywriters for blogs, presentations,<br />

Twitter posts, and marketing material, learning to write<br />

catchy, descriptive headlines becomes even more important to<br />

professional success.<br />

DIRECTOR’S NOTES<br />

» Create your headline, a one-sentence vision statement<br />

for your company, product, or service. The most effective<br />

headlines are concise (140 characters maximum), are<br />

specific, and offer a personal benefit.<br />

» Consistently repeat the headline in your conversations<br />

and marketing material: presentations, slides, brochures,<br />

collateral, press releases, website.<br />

» Remember, your headline is a statement that offers your<br />

audience a vision of a better future. It’s not about you.<br />

It’s about them.
