Why I Joined The Analogies Project
“Accepting the invitation to join The Analogies Project” was a no-brainer for me.
One of the most respected communicators of all time – that legendary adman David Ogilvy, famously said “If you’re trying to persuade people to do something or buy something, it seems to me you should use their language – the language they use every day, the language in which they think.” How true that is … not only in our sector but in every walk of life.
Also, way back before I got into information security, I always found the ability to express facts and concepts as analogies to be the most effective … not only engaging audiences at the time, but making sure the information was securely embedded. I hope our readers find my contributions of value.”
