Why WhatsApp

Why do we send the reports in WhatsApp?

Because the delivery method is part of the point.

One

Tap once

No download form, no email capture, no account. One tap opens a conversation.

Two

Get it in a channel you already use

The report arrives where your messages already live, so it is still there next week.

Three

Ask a question there

If something in it sparks an idea, reply in the same thread and a person will pick it up.

  • No long download form
  • No waiting for an email
  • No forced sales call

The archive

From the Capture 1 archive.

We’ve been writing about communication for a long time. Some of the channels have changed, but plenty of the thinking is still useful.
