The Story of Gospel Jazz artist, Kim Jordan, "Oh Happy Day"

noreply@blogger.com (Pam Perry, PR Coach) — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 23:15:00 +0000

Some people express love through words, touch, deeds, time or material gifts. But for some artists, such as Kim Jordan, love is expressed through her music. It’s electric and the epitome of passion. The keyboard is an extension of who she is – since she was five years old.

Jordan has an impressive body of work. Not only is she a top-flight pianist, she is a producer, arranger, songwriter, composer, vocalist, engineer and vocal coach.

Oh Happy Day by Kim Jordan (mp3)

Click to hear the new "Oh Happy Day" from the upcoming CD, "Uncommon" this year!

She has worked with Dru Hill, Taj Mahal, the Fantasy Band and many others. She has played alongside Roberta Flack, Vanessa Williams and Stevie Wonder. Jordan spent 12 years touring as arranger/musical director for Gil Scott-Heron.

In 1996, Jordan’s publishing company, Kimberlyn Music, received the prestigious ASCAP Music Award for writing and producing one of the top ten songs on Billboard’s charts, “We Must Be In Love.” The group Pure Soul recorded it. Artists such as Diane Reeves, Billy Childs, Kevin Eubanks, and Gerry Gonzales also perform her music.

"I am a funky keyboard artist, " says Jordan. "I'm a combination of gospel, with a Latin feel, some blues, even classical - a conglomeration of many tings."

Jordan, a native of Detroit, is a graduate of Howard University’s School of Fine Arts. Her talent, she says, is a family trait. "I was playing in a church since I was 5, in my daddy's church. My mother was a music teacher and she inspired me, pushed me. The other part was God-given; I would hear something and I could play it immediately. Other people would have to study it."

Her father, Rev. Dr. Joseph R. Jordan, is the President of the Council of Baptist Pastors, and pastor of Corinthian Baptist Church in Hamtramck. “Growing up in the church birthed my passion – and God has given the me vision for the type of music I’m to create.”

Her music is a mixture of original gospel music and secular jazz arrangements — she’s particularly noted for a jazz arrangement of the theme to “The Andy Griffith Show.” “The music that comes out of me is so eclectic and so all-over-the-place at times,” she said. “But it’s all who I am.”

Neither her jazz playing nor her gospel playing comes from the standard repertoires for the genre, Jordan said. “God has given me something so unique. Sometimes when I’m playing, I can’t sit down – I even get excited.” She plays all of her original music with fervor, compassion and confidence.

Jordan is, without a doubt, a refreshing and new jazz voice of the twenty-first century.

"I want to be on the New York Times best-seller list. I know everyone is going to want my book. It's anointed." I hear stuff like this from new authors all the time. Strangely, those who have been in the game for a while don't say such statements. They've learned.

Even the authors who have a track record with three or four books published (not just printed), don't expect to be the next New York Times celebrity.

Everyone who is anyone wants their book on a national talk show, cover a magazine or CNN.

I just smile when I hear the comment and pray, "LAWD, why me?"

I specialize in the Christian market because I believe in the message of the Gospel, a message of HOPE.

That's my mission - to market that message to as many people as possible.

So I run across tons of Christian authors. I encourage many to write their books. I even mentor and coach some through the self-publishing process. I always tell aspiring authors to write what God tells them - not what's popular.

This is where it gets sticky. Even though God may give you a word to write and the book is published, it doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to be the next TD Jakes or Joyce Meyer.

The book may be anointed but it still has to be sold through the world system - which is business. I try to tell authors "do not despise small beginnings." Every business has cycles. Start up is phase 1 - and the most expensive.

Books are business. People pay money for books and when money is exchanged, there are expectations. People buy what they are motivated to buy - not necessarily what is "best" for them but what they desire.

Advertising, marketing, publicity create desire.
THAT'S WHAT MAKES A BEST SELLER ==> A lot of sales!

Now, if an author were to print books and give them away - that's another thing. No marketing is needed. But most want to make some sales and make a profit.

And it seems like some new authors even dream of being "rich and famous" and having people hunt them down for an autograph. Even Christians want to be a celebrity - some even a SUPERSTAR! Sigh.

But it take a well thought-out marketing plan, an accurate assessment of the target market, a good grasp of social media tools and a great deal of knowledge about how books are sold.

You don't just learn that by being on your knees in prayer - thought a good book is birthed in prayer. The sales cycle is sustained and elevated by marketing skills, literary knowledge and promotion experience.

To really make a mountain of books move - you have to be smart and sharp. Getting information from a PR coach or literary PR professional or a writing conference is key.

Hosting an Event? Items to Include in the Promo Pieces before doing that "Eblast"

noreply@blogger.com (Pam Perry, PR Coach) — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 03:20:00 +0000

I highly recommend doing a "signature" event at least once a year to Brand yourself.

I have friends that do this and have become "experts" and even "famous" doing these events. Hajj Flemings does the Brand Camp. Dr. Stacia Pierce (pictured left) does the Women's Success Conference. And Venus Mason Theus does the Anointed Pen Conference.

It's good to create an event. It cements your target audience and positions you as a "thought leader."

However it take years of diligence. And a commitment to be consistent. Success does not happen over night!!!

When promoting your event, there are certain things you MUST to include in your marketing materials. Use the below list as a checklist. Make sure nothing goes out without these items - nothing - not even a napkin! (smile)

Whether you are doing flyers, postcards, eblasts, press releases, event-invites or Facebook events - you need to make sure you include the following items:

WHO: Host of the event
WHAT: Name of the event
WHEN: Date of the event (with the DAY of the week and the actual DATE)
WHERE: Location (with a map, cross streets and directions)
and always provide: phone number, website, email address and your social media identities

Finally, spell check, proof read and edit the piece! Triple check everything!!
Make sure names and numbers are correct. Tip: Call the number and check it.

Now, this may seem very simple. But trust me, I have been around enough to see flyers, press releases or eblasts come to me with no event date or phone number or address. (example below)

Don't do this:

WHY?

Because the person doing the planning is too close to the event to really remember share all the details. They assume everyone knows the name of the event or where they are located. And really, they are too busy planning and doing a million other things - they make errors.

So, it's best to have a check list and hand it off to someone to double-check your materials.

12 Ways to Excel in 2012 [Plus Audio Interview with Marc & Pam Perry]

noreply@blogger.com (Pam Perry, PR Coach) — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 14:00:00 +0000

Are you willing to make some resolutions, say some affirmations, change your conversations, create new habits, make a few attitude adjustments and instill some disciplines to make 2012 your best year yet?

It’s prime time to stir up your gift. Shake off the disappointments of the past. Restore your hope! It is not too late for you – no matter how old you are or what “mess” you have been through.

You do not have to settle for the mediocre. It is time to take your dreams off the shelf. God does not abort dreams.

This is your year. Get a fresh vision. Dare to step in, step up and step out of your comfort zone to walk in your destiny.

Here are 12 powerful “P’s” to put you on the path to your divine purpose:

#1. Be Prayerful. This is where it all starts. What you have talked with God about and what He has downloaded to your spirit, are the blueprints to achieve all your dreams and goals.

2. Be Passionate. Get your fire back. So what that things didn’t work out as planned in the past. Keep pressing in – never give up. Winners never quit and quitters never win. Stay excited – this is your life and you are the architect.

3. Be Prepared. If you want to start a business, write a book, or change careers – do some research. Consult with those who have been where you want to go. Preparation is never lost time. Get prepared for an opportunity that hasn’t happened yet.

4. Be Peaceful. Get rid of all strife in your life. Prosperity never flourishes in confusion. De-junk, de-clutter to create a life of balance and order. Peace always produces creativity – and creative ideas can be turned into income.

5. Be Persistent. This is a must. Sheer, dogged persistence is what leads to success. No matter what happens – stay the course. Stay focused and be consistent with your brand, your plans and your beliefs.

6. Be Positive. This is the key to keeping hope in your heart. And hope is what makes our dreams take flight. In order to excel in 2012, hope has to be rekindled and refueled every day. High hopes will help you persevere.

7. Be Prompt. You can’t expect to do more, be more or have more in life if you are always late. Time is money. Manage your time – and you will have more money. It’s a matter of respect. Keeping on top of your schedule and adding “air” to your calendar everyday – will attract more fun and favor to your life.

8. Be Playful. Yes, have fun! Give the “kid” in your permission to be silly. Enjoy your life and make “play” dates with friends on a regular basis. When you have fun, you are living a full life that God intended you to live.

9. Be Persuaded. Don’t back up or back down. Be fully persuaded, confident that everything that God promised you is going to come to pass.

10. Be Patient. Know that everything is in divine order. Patience is the virtue that is developed over time. And the more wisdom you gain in your life, the more patient you become.

11. Be Productive. You can wish and want to improve your life – but you have to WORK to produce the results you desire. Keep a prioritized “to do” list so that you are effective and efficient. Get stuff done.

12. Be Progressive. Read, read, read. Surround yourself with inspiration. Put up a vision board, listen to motivational CDs and ignite your creativity by going to conferences or webinars. Staying on the cutting edge is winners do. 2012 is your year to do really well!

Stand in your power. Dream big. Stay inspired. Nurture your spirit. Feed your soul. Keep your goals in front of you to get results and remember to keep things in perspective. Refuse to worry. And know as long as you are here, breathing, living and have GOD in your life – there is hope.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Roman 15:13

Get YOUR Tweet ON! 20 Game-Changing Twitter Chats

noreply@blogger.com (Pam Perry, PR Coach) — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 05:12:00 +0000

Now 2011 will probably go down as the year of social media marketing mania! Really, even Charlie Sheen was #winning on Twitter.
But serious, businesses have shifted their advertising dollars from traditional media to social channels up to 50 percent...and it's growing!

The power of the media is now in the audience's hands. It's all about INFLUENCE.

People can "be the media" and start a revolution ON Twitter....at the very least get a Tweet Chat going. What is a Tweet Chat? Well, if you don't know, it's how to have real-time SMS conversation with your audience with a transcript after the "show" or chat. Fast-paced, fun and highly-viral.

Read the Diverse Business blog (http://www.diversebusiness.blogspot.com) and see the video of how Tweet-Chat Queen, Melinda Emerson has made model work for her business - and garner her tons of media exposure and Twitter FAME.

Have you ever participated in a Twitter chat? If yes, then you already know how valuable they are. If you haven’t, then hopefully this post can provide some insights into what they offer and why you should get involved with one.

Twitter chats are one of the most underutilized, untapped resources in social media. This year saw the creation of some fantastic new chats and huge growth in others. As their popularity continues to grow, so does the value they offer to participants. Before we start talking individual chats, let's step back and discuss a few of the awesome benefits of joining a twitter chat.

Increase Your Network
If nothing else, twitter chats are a killer way of meeting fantastic new people. Fantastic new people who share similar interests to yourself. Fantastic new people who love nothing more than to chat about being an English teacher in Asia (yes, there’s a chat for that #AsiaELT). If 2011 was the year chats took flight, 2012 will be the year individuals and businesses begin leveraging chats for sales leads and increasing conversions.

Establishing Brand Expertise
There has been A LOT of talk about personal branding over the past few years. A great way to springboard your personal brand and begin establishing yourself as a leader in your industry is by participating in twitter chats. Sharing all of your industry expertise during these chats builds brand equity and credibility. Stick with these chats for a few months and you might find yourself speaking at your industriesnext big expo.
Now that we’ve qualified a few of the benefits of twitter chats its time to get involved. Each chat has its own personality and core group of participants. I’d suggest spending a week trying a new chat each day. Think of it like buying a new car. There are going to be chats similar in theme and topic so take the time to see which feels best to you. Here are 20 chats full of value and great people.
Monday
1. Us Guys Chat - 3:00pm ET - #usguyschat - If you’re active in the social media space on twitter I have no doubt you’ve already engaged with someone in the Us Guys community.

7. Leadership Chat - 8:00pm ET - #leadershipchat - Like the name suggests, this chat touches on leadership tips, tricks, best practices and so much more.

8. Small Business Chat - 8:00pm ET - #smbiz - This hashtag is used for both the small business chat on Tuesday nights and a very popular reference to all things small business.

Resources
Things tend to move pretty quickly during a twitter chat and it’s easy to miss handfuls of comments at a time. Tweetchat is a very cool tool that allows you to see all updates in real-time. It also “smart-pauses” while you scroll down the stream, insuring you don’t miss anything

10 Tips to Help You Sell More Books

noreply@blogger.com (Pam Perry, PR Coach) — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 07:20:00 +0000

It takes more than just great writing to sell books. Matter of fact...most authors would argue that is only about 10 to 20 percent of what makes their books sell. It's the marketing that sells the book....not the write. Being strategic is key. Following these 10 tips will steer you in the right direction. www.perrywilliamson.com

Amplify’d from myblogalicious.beblogalicious.com

How to publish and promote a book

If you talk to any author, they will tell you that writing their book was the easy part – compared to marketing it and getting folks to buy it!

You can go to any bookstore and get a book on how to publish your book or do a Google search on book publishing. (I recommend Dan Poynter’s Self-Publishing Manual – he’s been called the guru of self-publishing). You can even get a good editor to help you with your rough manuscript. If you really don’t want to do that much work and want to get your book out fast, you can go to “iuniverse.com” or “lulu.com” and have books produced as you needed. This is called Print-On-Demand (POD) – great for first time authors; they take your word document and turn it into a book. Kinkos is even in the book producing game.

The production of a book is now pretty common. That’s why we see so many people doing books.

But are the books selling? After the books are back from the printer/publisher – the real work begins. It’s time to promote and sell your book. You have just opened up a business. Like any new business, you need a business plan plus extensive knowledge of the field you’re in and good advisors. A standard statistic you need to know according to book industry sources: there are over 150,000 new books published every year. And typically we see the same roster of authors on the New York Times Best-Seller’s list.

As a book publicist for over ten years in the Christian literary field, I see what flys and what fizzles. Before you embark on this costly venture (prepare to spend at least $2,500 up to $10,000 for editing, production and promotion), I would like to share with you what I’ve learned on what makes a best-seller:

1. Title – is it griping, interesting? Would one know what it’s about without reading anything else?

2. Cover – people do judge a book by its cover. Make sure it has enough punch to stand out on the shelves among the thousands of other books. Is it clean, neat and crisp – yet interesting? Hire a professional!

3. Endorsements – what others say about you is key. Who these people are is even more important. Pull together the “best words from the best people.” It will pre-sell your book before you even open your mouth.

4. Writer’s credentials – do you have anything else with your byline? Do you blog? Do you have an audience that actually likes what you write?

5. Knowledge of the Market the book will reach – and the author’s reputation in that market. The author must create a market for himself by really addressing the needs of that market, knowing that market and communicating the right message to that market.

6. Timing – in relation to other events going on in the world/society. Are there movies, songs or talk shows that are bringing up the subject you have discussed in your book? Do you read the newspaper regularly and respond with Opinion Editorials when they are discussing “your” platform/topic?

7. Advertising – targeting the right message to the right media at the right time. Facebook ads work too. Do it Consistently!

8. Media coverage – publicity. The frosting on the cake. Getting on radio, TV and in newspapers and magazine and Ezines. Consistently (with advertising too).

9. Distribution – If you want to be a best-seller you have to have your book available. Make sure you sign up with a distributor or wholesaler so it is accessible to bookstores. (Amazon is not national distribution…it is a website) Best-sellers are sold in real bookstores and they only order from distributors or wholesales. (See Sally Stuart’s Christian Writers Market Guide for distributors to approach. Note: You must have a press kit and solid marketing plan for them to consider you).

10. Word of Mouth – The best advertising. The more “buzz” you have about your book the better. How do you get people talking about your book? By engaging in their culture and creating messages in their media. Social media!!!
Be relentless in your goal to be a “best-seller” – and it will happen if you commit to the publicity process and pray for favor.

Is Cross-Cultural an Industry Breakthrough or Threat to Ethnic Shops?

Ken Muench

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- One of the latest buzz words to enter the marketing lexicon is "cross-cultural." It paints an idealistic picture of a color-blind society, one in which consumers' similarities outweigh their differences regardless of ethnic groups. Whereas multicultural means multiple executions -- often from multiple shops -- wouldn't it be simpler to find one truth that reaches across culture?

It's a valid question, but critics at multicultural agencies and ethnic shops are quick to point out that the question -- and the concept -- seems to be coming from general-market agencies moving into their territory.

This past year there were two significant account shifts that involved ethnic shops losing portions of accounts to general-market agencies. Home Depot moved its $37 million U.S. Hispanic account to Richards/Lerma, a unit created by Home Depot's general-market shop Richards Group, from incumbent Vidal Partnership. And Burger King shifted its Hispanic and African-American accounts from LatinWorks and Uniworld Group, respectively, to its general-market partner CP&B.

WPP Group has created OgilvyCulture, a new "cross-cultural strategic-service practice." Last year, DraftFCB's Ken Muench, senior VP-director of multicultural strategic planning, penned a "Cross-Cultural Manifesto" for Ad Age.

Pepper Miller, president of the Hunter-Miller Group, an African-American-focused market and research consulting firm, said cross-cultural as a concept is not entirely wrong, but general-market agencies are using it as an opportunity to move into space occupied by multicultural shops.

"The people who are focused on ethnic segments are left out of the translation of this code as well as the opportunity to compete for mainstream business," she said. "Cross-cultural is not getting us to the place of understanding the differences between these cultures. It still stands for one message to reach all people and then cultural insights are getting lost."

Unsurprisingly, proponents of cross-cultural marketing at general-market agencies say it's a completely different topic from ethnic marketing -- and that ethnic shops won't necessarily get cut out from the system. Mr. Muench, who joined DraftFCB from Grupo Gallegos, said all general-market campaigns should be created from a multicultural perspective. The demographics of the U.S. simply demand it. Once the creative for general-market effort is completed, the Hispanic and African-American creative is then executed.

Most "general-market agencies create advertising from a white, middle-class perspective and that is less relevant today than it ever was in the past," Mr. Muench said. "Creating general-market campaigns from a multicultural perspective doesn't mean we don't do Hispanic or African-American advertising on top of it. It means we have to create elements within that campaign that precisely target those other consumers."

Multicultural viewpoints "need to be part of the people and need to be part of the mainstream," Mr. Muench said. "Cross-cultural marketing is about creating better general-market advertising."

As hard of a time that ethnic shops might have believing that line of thinking, some of Mr. Muench's clients are also skeptical. "Clients have to buy into it, and frankly not all clients do," he said. "A lot of clients see the light and see their consumer base has changed and want to start tapping into this."

Alejandro Ruelas, managing partner at LatinWorks, said this is just a different version of the same game that's been going on for years. "General-market agencies are seeing an opportunity for revenue and revenue growth in this space and trying to get in and play, whether it be through acquiring a multicultural shop or creating a dedicated unit within the agency," Mr. Ruelas said.

In the case of Burger King, Mr. Ruelas again said the situation was one his agency has dealt with in the past. He said certain general-market agencies that have good relationships with clients will tend to get opportunistic and say they can deliver the Hispanic market. "They promise a more unified message and dangle the carrot of efficiencies in front of them," Mr. Ruelas said. "Certain clients are going to go with that seductive offer and others, those more embedded in the Hispanic marketplace, will see those agencies are not set up to deliver the marketplace the way agencies like ours can."

Mr. Ruelas said he will be watching to see what Crispin does with Burger King's Hispanic business. "If a general-market agency can put a model in place and deliver against a target that we claim is our territory, then we need to come away with a lesson learned from that."

Pete Lerma, head of Richards/Lerma, said Richards/Lerma started on the basis that the agency could create an operation that would allow its clients' marketing to more accurately reflect the evolving U.S. culture. Richards/Lerma is the Hispanic AOR for Metro PCS, Advanced Auto Parts and Chrysler's Ram trucks among others.

Mr. Lerma said cross-cultural doesn't signify the extinction for ethnic shops. In fact, he said traditional multicultural agencies should view "this evolution in the market" as an opportunity to work alongside their general-market counterparts and "positively influence" brands.

"We are providing insights, from Hispanic perspective and concepting creative work and ideas that connect brands and people," Mr. Lerma said. "Those ideas supersede language and culture. The greatest common denominators between these brands and customers are what we are finding. And it seems to me that the traditional multicultural agency should see that as a huge opportunity. We can influence the general-market work in a way that makes it a greater reflection of the more multicultural society we live in."

That line of thought was on display from marketers at the Association of National Advertisers' Multicultural Marketing & Diversity Conference in November. Pam El, VP-marketing at State Farm, the country's largest auto insurer said that business is the bottom line and that marketers want help -- rather than agency infighting -- from various sources. "I need to know that Agency X has my back and they can't have my back if they are at it with each other," she said, adding "There is enough business for everybody," so "do your part, bring your best stuff to the table and it will work out for you."

Is Cross-Cultural an Industry Breakthrough or Threat to Ethnic Shops?

Ready to Step Up Your Game in 2012

noreply@blogger.com (Pam Perry, PR Coach) — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 16:46:00 +0000

7 Steps to get your DREAMS fulfilled in 2012

Commit. Make a decision to follow your dreams that the Lord put in your heart no matter what others say. Know with absolute certainty that you will see the vision come to pass because you’re determined and God showed you. Psalm 37:5
Be Prudent. Don’t make decisions before knowing all the facts. Work smart and you won’t have to work hard. Prov. 27:12
Be Prepared. Don’t wait until there is an emergency or a deadline before you get moving on project. Successful people plan ahead. Haste makes waste. Prov. 21:31
Be focused. Get clear on what you want and don’t get distracted. If something doesn’t put you closer to your goal, drop it. Clarity is power. Prov. 29:18
Be diligent. Finish what you start. Remember the end of thing is better than the beginning. If it worth starting –finish it! Prov. 13:4
Be Teachable. Don’t refuse good advice and accept instruction. Get all the help you can. All successful people had mentors and role models. Get in a Mastermind Group if you can. Prov. 13:18
Be persistent. Be relentless. Tackle every task that God puts before you and expect a blessing. Quitters never win and winners never quit. Press toward the mark. DREAM BIG! Prov. 24:10

The number one reason most people don’t achieve their dreams is that they don’t have clarity and they listen to the wrong folks.

There is power in focus and visualizing what you want, confessing what you want and doing what you know to do! But ...you must have an accountability partner or a coach to keep you on track/

GET a Dream Team, Mastermind Group or a Coach. If you've been trying to "make it work" without the right advice and accountability partner, TRY something different in 2012. It will make ALL THE DIFFERENCE.

Check us on on Facebook: Perry + Williamson, helping you LEAD the way.

Write your vision, make it plain and keep the momentum no matter how hard it gets – with God, all things are possible.

... people all over America are
gathering in stadiums to pray, fast
and hope in God for the next
generation, our cities and economic
future.

Join Pam Perry and Ramon Williamson
for a business and professional
prayer telegathering at 11:11 EST.

Get the number:

http://www.believely.com/detroit

From Ford Field in Detroit to the
Rose Bowl in Pasadena, people are
taking a stand and drawing a line in
the sand.

As a person in the marketplace, our
"stadium," one of the greatest
platforms for good in our generation,
is social media.

One tweet, one Facebook post, can
make a difference.

That's why we're mobilizing 10,000
people in the marketplace to pray and
use social media as a force for good.

Consider what happened in New York,
154 years ago:

Churches were shrinking, thousands
were disillusioned with "organized
religion."

Then, a handful of business people
started praying. Within a few
months, there was a great revival
with thousands and thousands of
people transformed across the nation.

Now imagine what could happen today
using social media... think of the
tens of thousands or hundreds of
thousands that could be encouraged...

Join us for a special telegathering
on Friday, November 11th at 11:11am
to 12 Noon Eastern time.

* why pray as a business person or
professional;

* 3 keys to hearing God
in your business and career;

* practical prayer for business and
professional breakthrough;

Infographics: Cracking the Code for the "Information Overload" Era

noreply@blogger.com (Pam Perry, PR Coach) — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 01:19:00 +0000

The internet is flooded with information. This is the information age for sure. Millions of blogs, websites, tweets, facebook pages - and then there's email overdose.

People are really getting weary of reading - they want the info fast and at a glance. And really they want to look at pictures. That's why INFOGRAPHICS are so popular! A quick snapshot of all the facts. Here's an example here: http://bit.ly/infographicpamperry. It's a big business. Learn it or hire someone to do it.

We can help.

Amplify’d from www.socialmediaexplorer.com

A picture is worth a thousand words. In the digital age, the saying has never been more relevant. To cope with the daily onslaught of information we’ve become content grazers, skimming headlines and post descriptions for the promise of bite-sized nuggets of information.

As brevity becomes more important, infographics present brand journalists with a great opportunity to deliver knowledge, ideas, solutions, etc., in a manner that can be quickly consumed, understood and remembered.

Robin Richards, Information Design Director at the creative firm JESS3, says this about infographics:

“The public’s collapsing attention span has given rise to a relatively new content format: the infographic. Infographics – a visual representation of complex data – have emerged as one of the most popular and shareable forms of social content.”

In doing some research for a recent presentation I delivered during Social Media Week in Vancouver, I came across a staggering statistic regarding the growth of infographics on the Web.

A Google image search for the term “infographics” returned 978k results. Four months ago the same search mentioned in Jeremiah Owyang’s blog post about the need for infographics to evolve returned 570k infographic images. I don’t profess to be an SEO expert or pretend to understand the complexity of the Google search algotythm, but there has to be something going on when 40% more infographics show up on the web in such a short period of time.

Popularity

There are a few factors that might explain why infographics are so popular:

Easy to digest – There is less friction when it comes to consuming information that is (well) presented visually. It requires less time to read, absorb and get the gist of information.

Infographics are easy to share – Even if you’re not a visual thinking geek like me, you’d likely agree that this content format can be a pretty cool way to present information. Their uniqueness and compact nature can prompt people to readiliy share them.

Learning style – The Visual Teaching Alliance states that approximately 65% of people are visual learners and that the human brain processes visual information about 60,000 times faster than text.

R.O.I.

Infographics are popular amongst web users for all the reasons stated above, but they are also in vogue with organizations because they can add business value. Some examples:

Brand Awareness – The Content Grid, created by JESS3 on behalf of Eloqua, has been one of the more popular infographics published in the last year. Here are some awareness metrics published by Eloqua regarding this infographic: 1168 tweets, 722 inbound links, 58 blog articles mentioning the infographic and 3003 offsite views.

Signals – Infographics are one way to create signals in a sea of internet noise. Signals result in conversations … and the right conversation lead to business opoortunities. I’m personal proof that it works – the infographics that I’ve published have helped fuel conversations that have lead to a contributor gig here at SME, sitting on a panel with Jay Baer for the Vancouver NOW Revolution book tour stop, guest lecturing at the University of Toronto and a few consulting projects. If I can do it, anyone can!

Improved Results – Visual thinking impresario Dave Gray shares a great example of the power of visualization and how it adds tangible business value. During this interview he talks about how a large hotel chain used visual tools across different business phases to added incremental revenue by cutting 5 months off the time required to launch a new property.

5 Types and Uses

For many people the thought of infographics is synonymous with data visualization. For others it represents a form of idea art. Whatever your perspective, infographics come in many different shapes and sizes and can be used by organizations to manage knowledge/information presented to both internal and external audiences.

Statistics – One of the most popular infographic types is data visualization. Nothing is more difficult to consume and absord than reems of statisctical data – If your organization is presenting company information and/or industry research consider using infographics to present findings or highlight insights.

Concepts – My favorite infographics are metaphors for ideas. These are great for use in illustrating though leadership or organizational philosophy. These conceptual visuals can also be very effective in teaching/training situations.

Models – These type of information visuals help describe process. Organizations can use these to explain complex business procedures, workflows, distribution channels, service offerings, information flow, etc.

Cartoons – Purists might not agree, but I feel humorous illustration, particularly in a business context, classify as information graphics. Cartoons are an effective way for organizations to transfer information about ideas, scenarios and culture to their target audiences.

Information Resources – These infographics effectively aggregate useful and relevant information into a format that adds value. Organizations can use infographics to create industry resources, specifications guides, “cheat sheets,” product comparisons, etc.

Getting Started

You don’t have to be a graphic designer to start creating effective infographics. Here are few tips to get you started:

Explore new ways to inform – always be thinking of your audiences information needs and better ways to help them learn. Think about all the content your organization has – what are some ways to restructure it and present it visually?

Record your thoughts – Use a journal, smart phone, sticky notes, etc. to keep track of ideas for infographics. I get a lot of inspirartion from the blogs I read and find it helpful to use a bookmarking tool like Delicious to keep track of concepts for future exploration.

Steve Jobs, The Albert Einstein of Our Era

noreply@blogger.com (Pam Perry, PR Coach) — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 01:41:00 +0000

Legacy isn't strong enough. Genius is more appropriate. Steve Jobs dies, his brilliance will be missed but he still shines on. Marketing Brilliance never really DIES......

If you could have a conversation with him, what would you ask? Now that he is gone, the world will know more about him than when he was living.

His book comes out this month. He was a genius...From the Latin verb gigno, genui, genitus, "to bring into being, create, produce."

Well done Steve Jobs. We appreciate your genius. Thank you. Rest in Peace.

Steve Jobs bio tops Amazon bestseller list

After the death Wednesday of Apple founder and visionary Steve Jobs , his authorized biography became a hot ticket. "Steve Jobs" by Walter Isaacson is Amazon's #1 bestselling book -- and it's not even out yet.

Although Jobs has been written about before, the biography is the first written with his cooperation. Jobs' biographer, Walter Isaacson, had been working with the Apple CEO, his family, friends, colleagues and competitors since at least 2009.

Isaacson has written biographies of genius Albert Einstein ("Einstein: His Life and Universe"), founding father Ben Franklin ("Benjamin Franklin: An American Life") and powerful diplomat Henry Kissinger ("Kissinger: A Biography"). When Simon & Schuster announced that the book was on the way, publisher Jonathan Karp said, "This is the perfect match of subject and author, and it is certain to be a landmark book about one of the world's greatest innovators."

The Steve Jobs biography was originally slated to be published in March 2012, and it was going to be titled "iSteve." The title was changed to the more staid "Steve Jobs," and the publishing date, at one point, moved up to Nov. 21, 2011. This week, it was moved up again, to less than three weeks from now: "Steve Jobs" will be released Oct. 24.
