Ditch the Elevator Pitch: Get with the Escalator Roll

By Cynthia Fodell

The attention spans of consumers have diminished over the past decade. Social media, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and other communication channels have defined an era of automatic engagement with your prospective clients. Our global economy and its influx of information have resulted in a dramatic decline in our attention spans. The Digital Age mandates that you convey your brand and message clearly, concisely and in a compelling way that resonates with your audience—in 8.25 seconds. (Statistic Brain Research Institute, www.statisticbrain.com).

The vanishing attention span of consumers commands another look at the way marketers prepare their campaigns. In the postindustrial world, leaders had the luxury of time to present their drip marketing initiatives; it was a static media world of 80’s three martini lunches, MacIntosh Computers and hanging around the office smoking cigarettes, planning the next happy hour (watch Mad Men).

    

Everything is different now. It becomes more difficult every day to capture the attention of the consumer: it’s like trying to drain a bathtub with an eyedropper.

In the age of information, our brains are constantly being rewired. We no longer read left to right to process content; rather, our brains are forging shortcuts to absorb the massive influx of information. We scan, search for keywords continuously scrolling up and down so we can move on to the next article, website or post. “It’s fast and furious and futuristic. Existence has become one continuous elevator pitch, with the elevator changing from every floor.” (Miguel Conner – business2business.com)
