In an increasingly digital-first world, it’s more important than ever to foster a feeling of connection. That’s because if your audience doesn’t feel connected, they’re just going to turn their attention elsewhere.
But simply saying “know your audience” is easier said than done. That’s why we turned to leaders at tech giant IBM to share Prezi videos with their insights around tailoring your message to fit your audience. Watch these videos for actionable tips and best practices.
3 simple tips to capture attention
Seven seconds is the average length of a news soundbite, and it’s also called a “hot start” — if you can’t get someone’s attention within those first few seconds, they’re highly unlikely to finish watching your video or presentation.

Whether you’re telling a story or sharing your passion, Tara’s tips will guide you in creating compelling content.

Spencer Barnardo, the Talent Strategy Program Manager at IBM, has created recruiting programs, training curricula, and content that target Gen Z. In her video, she provides five ways to speak Gen Z’s language, from making your content interactive and bite-sized to being authentic.
