Author Ben Guttmann on Designing Simple and Impactful Messages


Listen Later

We invited Ben Guttmann, author of Simply Put, on the podcast. It's a book about how to intentionally design simple, clear and effective messages.

Ironically, getting simple is not necessarily easy. His book is a great guide, with practical, actionable tips, anectodes, and research behind the ideas.

In 30 minutes, Ben took us on a tour of the challenges, benefits and cornerstones of designing messages that can rise above the noise and hit home. We covered these topics and others:

  • The disconnect between message senders and receivers
  • Cornerstones of simple messages
  • Putting the ideas into practice
  • The importance of the 1000 most common words
  • How AI and other tools can help
  • You can connect with Ben and download the first chapter of Simply Put for free at ⁠BenGuttmann.com⁠. Also check out the ⁠Resources page⁠ for a tool that can help you write more simply.
