Our beloved Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi has perfected this art to the perfection. Every speech of his is a classic example of how using content that is relevant to your core audience will help you stand out among the host of heads of states who are constantly jostling for relevance. If you have a look at his just concluded landmark Silicon Valley speech you can easily notice use of words and phrases that are in perfect harmony with the target audience expectations.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27310\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-ttn-blog\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Modi-Speech-Wordcloud1.png\" alt=\"Modi Speech Wordcloud\" width=\"818\" height=\"402\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Target Audience were Leading CEO\u2019s of Digital &amp; Tech Giants of famed Silicon Valley &amp; Indian Diaspora who are employed in Digital &amp; Tech Giants.

Here it was Tech-Digital Industry so his speech was replete with words and terms, which are commonplace among Tech Industry leaders.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27297\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-ttn-blog\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Modi-speech-2.png\" alt=\"Modi-speech-2\" width=\"812\" height=\"152\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Use of Facebook-Twitter-Instagram-Android-Skype-CISCO-WhatsApp<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A concerted effort to name bigger brands in his speech and look what it translated to.

These words are like classic Marketing Nirvana because most of the Indian diaspora still have a huge connect with India but don\u2019t believe in old style caste-region-corruption rhetoric which was the official choice for erstwhile ministers of Congress government.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27299\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-ttn-blog\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Modi-speech-4.png\" alt=\"Modi-speech-4\" width=\"821\" height=\"224\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Use of Transform-Change-Scale-Sustainable-Expansion-Enterprise-Vision-Efficient<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Use of Power Phrases which are so commonplace among Silicon Valley Leaders.

These key words are in sync with his own working philosophy of \u2018let\u2019s get it done\u2019. Yet they also indicate a path to mutual prosperity rather than him being a weaker position of requesting for investments. Persuasive marketing principles dictate that an adept marketer weeds out \u2018apple pie\u2019 words and harps on strong action oriented vocabulary to increase conversion. Mr Modi is a practitioner of these principles and just like an ace digital marketer he knows which CTA (Call To Action) needs to be placed where for maximum conversion.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27301\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-ttn-blog\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Modi-speech-6.png\" alt=\"Modi-speech-6\" width=\"841\" height=\"198\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Speech Analytics<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>All of these words constitute a total count of &#8211; 162<\/li>\n<li>Total Word count in the Speech \u2013 1825<\/li>\n<li>If we estimate that Helping verbs, connectors and fillers like Mitron \ud83d\ude42 constitute 30% of word count then such word count will be\u00a0\u2013 548<\/li>\n<li>Estimated count of remaining words after accounting for helping verbs, fillers and connectors \u2013 1277<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Inference \u2013 162 out of 1277 words which equates to about 13% of words were pure Marketing Nirvana.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>It will be an interesting exercise if\u00a0we compare it with speeches of other Heads of State or for that matter the Opposition Leader in waiting Mr Rahul Gandhi \ud83d\ude42\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Most Frequently Used Words<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27303\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-ttn-blog\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Modi-Speech-Frequency-of-occurence.png\" alt=\"Modi-Speech-Frequency-of-occurence\" width=\"848\" height=\"447\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>A Gamified Pie-chart of Modi\u2019s Speech\u00a0Content<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27309\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-ttn-blog\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Modi-Speech-Gamified-word-count1.png\" alt=\"Modi-Speech-Gamified-word-count\" width=\"736\" height=\"401\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Detailed Word Count Table of Modi&#8217;s Speech<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27302\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-ttn-blog\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Modi-speech-detailed-word-count-table.png\" alt=\"Modi-speech-detailed-word-count-table\" width=\"814\" height=\"534\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-cd2876eb-077b-42f8-b434-0721a42b46fb\" class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\"><span id=\"hs-cta-cd2876eb-077b-42f8-b434-0721a42b46fb\" class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-cd2876eb-077b-42f8-b434-0721a42b46fb\"><a href=\"http:\/\/insights.tothenew.com\/social-media-six-effective-ways-to-boost-lead-generation-through-social-media\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"hs-cta-img-cd2876eb-077b-42f8-b434-0721a42b46fb\" class=\"hs-cta-img aligncenter\" style=\"border-width: 0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/481864\/cd2876eb-077b-42f8-b434-0721a42b46fb.png\" alt=\"6 ways to boost lead generation through social media\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One Simple Reason \u201cContent that Connects with Target Audience\u201d Speaking to 20000 people, knowing that over a billion would be tuned in, is a tough act.
