Hook Point: How to Stand Out in a 3-Second World, by out of the box thinker Brendan Kane, breaks down the most effective strategies to generate new opportunities, innovate and scale your business, and create a compelling brand--both online and off--so you can thrive in the new micro-attention world in which we live. A lot of people know who they are, what they do, and a few even know why they do it--but even when brands or individuals have clarity in these areas, they often struggle to grab a potential audience's attention for long enough to get them to learn about their attributes. Others have amazing products or services that fail to achieve great success because they don't know how to talk about what they do effectively. This is because digital and social media have reshaped our world into one of micro-attention. There are over sixty billion messages shared on digital platforms each day, and the average person is exposed to between four thousand to ten thousand ads a day. This bombardment of stimuli has changed the way we communicate and market content both online and off. In fact, research shows that you have less than three seconds to capture a person's attention. With such a short window of time, we need to hook audiences quickly, efficiently, and consistently if we want to successfully fuel brand awareness and growth. Luckily, Brendan Kane, an out of the box thinker and strategist who's built platforms for celebrities like Taylor Swift and Rhianna, and worked with Fortune 500 companies like Paramount, Viacom, and MTV has mastered the art of standing out. In Hook Point: How to Stand Out in a 3-Second World he reveals the power of hook points--a communication tool that helps marketers package their messages in a succinct, attention-grabbing way that leads to better opportunities both online and off. Whether you're promoting a brand, product, or service this book is the essential guide for making it in our three-second world.

One Million Followers, Updated Edition

Ogni giorno più di sessanta miliardi di messaggi sono condivisi in Rete e ogni persona è esposta a migliaia di annunci pubblicitari. Questo bombardamento di stimoli ha cambiato la comunicazione e il mercato dei contenuti: tre secondi è il tempo a disposizione per catturare l'attenzione del pubblico. Persone e aziende con idee chiare su cosa fanno e dove vogliono arrivare faticano così a farsi notare e apprezzare, mentre prodotti e servizi eccezionali non hanno successo perché non riescono a essere comunicati in maniera efficace. Il problema è sempre lo stesso: i media digitali hanno trasformato la nostra realtà in un mondo iperveloce governato dalla microattenzione. La sfida è quindi emergere nel più breve tempo possibile. In queste pagine Brendan Kane insegna gli hook point, tecniche e strategie per aiutare i messaggi a catturare l'attenzione nei tre secondi che sono loro concessi.
