Using the Marketing Playbook to Score Better L&D Results

Learning professionals and marketers are competing for the same thing: Attention. Without it, we can’t get people to think and act in new ways.

Marketers have been much more successful than learning professionals in terms of connecting, drawing us into their products and services, and creating meaningful interactions. Savvy marketers understand that tapping into the psychology of emotions sparks engagement in today’s hyper-distracted world.

That’s a mindset learning professionals need now more than ever!

    Align personas to
    your design
    • Make them come to life by referring
    to them by their name
    • Ask your questions about them:
    “What would Apima think?”

  182. Be Concise &
    Focus Your Message
    Most people spend less than 15 seconds
    reading marketing emails, so keep it short
    and sweet, prioritizing your content from
    top to bottom. Consider breaking multiple
    messages into a series of emails.
    Link out
    If you have a lot of information to convey,
    link to a page on your website (or someone
    else's website) where subscribers can learn
    more.
    Use a hierarchy to
    organize for quick reading
    Headings & bullets divide content into sections
    that are easy to understand.
    Make room
    Use plenty of white space to give your content
    some breathing room and make your design
    more approachable.
