MAKE YOUR QUOTES QUOTABLE
There are two quotes in the tweets above and both are terrible. Why? Because they are crammed with jargon (#EuropeanSemester, #PillarOfSocialRights), obsessed with process (#EURoad2Sibiu) and full of stuffy technocratic language like ‘social dimension’ and ‘country specific recommendations’.
So how do you craft a cracking quote?
- Use colourful, vivid language that paints a picture.
- Voice strong opinions rather than bore people with facts, context and process.
- Make use of rhetorical devices like contrast and repetition.
- Cut all jargon, process and acronyms. Use clear, simple language.
