Automatic triggers: capture audience attention with the physical properties of an external stimulus. Guided action: guide your audience toward their internal thoughts and prompt them to focus on something rewarding . Introspection: orient their attention internally toward something they consider rewarding . Visual search: direct their attention externally toward what they consider rewardingEach section of Made You Look provides detailed guidelines you can use in your communication materials immediately. Attract attention and, as a result, influence memory and decisions with Made You Look, and lead your company to the top of your industry.
