themeline writing |

eadlines aim to generate interest about one aspect of an organization in a single succinct sentence. A themeline, or tagline as it is also called, must relate to the purpose of an entire entity in even shorter order. The shorter the better, because its goal is to be memorable. Once digested, just a bit of meaningful memory about a company's mission can stimulate the mind to remember much more. Anticipation of possible future developments is key to long and successful themeline life. A phrase can't be so specific that obsoletion may be just around the corner. Instead, it must address the uniqueness of the generalities that characterize a company. Intensity of spirit, quality of product and extensiveness of service are some of the attributes that can be infused into themeline writing. Writers long to find the word combo that delivers a double meaning. Since the more we can get out of the least number of words the better, this strategy often produces the most successful lines. Alliteration is another worthy ambition for a themeline. Simply through the rhyming of a word duo can valuable memorability be realized. Then, there are those meaningful lines that have done pretty well just because their nice and simple. Lines like, "Things go better with Coke". |

sample
To get a second look, double your themeline's meaning.
While double meanings aren't always possible, when they work, the show stopping appeal can be very worthwhile. In this sample, we know that second looks also result from confusion about spelling that seems wrong. This unfamiliar line looks as if there are too many words. Shouldn't it be "insight" instead of "in site"? |

For gillINC, both mistaken first impressions are welcome. They serve to nicely nudge an audience towards eventually getting the right double meaning. That's the day they'll begin remembering and feeling good about getting what gillINC does. You see, there is a certain intellectual flattery bestowed on readers when we don't hit them over the heads with every obvious detail. After all, if they are targeted prospects they will have more than one chance to tune in. Be a pal by allowing your audience the satisfaction of understanding on their own.
