@industryjargonThese are all real overheard phrases. Making fun of ourselves is the first step to change.

1. Pretend like you’re talking to your mom.2. Ask the tough questions.3. When all else fails, get on the same page.

Don’t make assumptions.Your mom doesn’t know what CPG stands for. She doesn’t know about transmedia storytelling or propagation planning. And it’s not because she’s not a smart lady. She’s just not entrenched in industry BS.

People are people.Not consumers.Not users.Not “momfluentials.”
Just people.

What is a big idea, really?
Big because in the amount of media spend that goes behind it?Big because of the number of people that’ll see it?Big because of how new or different it is?Big because it has the subjective potential to “go viral”?Big because it can fit other “tactics” inside of the same copy line?Big because of how much press it’ll get?

Sometimes the words don’t matter.
As long as everyone’s speaking the same
language.

Likely, it won’t be possible to completely avoid this stuff. A good place to start is to acknowledge when words are getting in the way and do a little something about it.
• Make a glossary for the front of a big presentation.
• Spend the first 5 minutes of a meeting agreeing to semantics.
• Got any other ideas?
Ideal vs. Real

If you only remember one thing:
Marketers talk a lot about humanizing brands.Let’s start by talking to each other like humans.
