In today’s episode, we're diving into a quirky, yet powerful secret to brand success: rhyming. We've all heard those catchy jingles and slogans—"Beanz Meanz Heinz" or "Once you pop, you can't stop!"—but why do they stick with us? Is there more magic to a rhyme than we realise?
Richard Shotton and Alex Thompson dug into this very question, and the science is clear: rhymes are twice as memorable as non-rhyming statements. So, whether you're building a brand or just trying to stand out in a crowded marketplace, could a little rhyme be the key to staying top of mind?
Today, we'll explore this research and even test it out on friends, colleagues, and—spoiler alert—my team, to see how the power of rhyme really stacks up. So, settle in and let’s rhyme our way to better branding!
