Archive: Workshop your Elevator Pitch

[mijwallace]

Here’s a quick first attempt at the elevator pitch:

My landscapes come from a deep desire to take the viewer to places they haven’t been, but would love to go to.

Mark Wallace

Terrill, your comment on exposing the mystery from the ordinary really strikes a cord

[Beverley]

Nice pitch, Mark. It would definitely invite me to ask questions.

I like it, Mike 🙂

[Michal Tkachenko]

Mark,

I agree, it is simple to say, sounds like ordinary speaking language and sounds interesting.

[Beverley]

Here’s my attempt at an elevator pitch:

My work’s about colour and texture on surfaces weathered by the passage of time. Through photos and and paintings I hope to share my delight in the small details of the visual world.

(Am wondering whether I need both sentences? If only one, the first or the second?)

Beverley

I like the idea of one sentence that invites a question from the listener.

I am fully in agreement with Beverly

[sherrihayter]

Beverly, I think the first sentence is great and a conversation would naturally lead to the expression of the salient points of your second sentence.

[TaLisa.]

Hi Beverley – I think the first sentence could stand alone.

[martina.delange60]

Beverley, I like it. I would move the “through photos and paintings” to the end of the second sentence, and remove the tentativeness. You do share your delight : )

[Wanda K. Tyner]

Beverly,

I feel the first sentence works well on its own.

[Memet Burnett]

To Beverly- if going for one sentence, a suggestion:

My photos and paintings depict the dance of colour and texture on surfaces weathered by time.
