What to expect
The Pop-Up Pitch is a radical new approach to help you create the perfect presentation, combining three key elements of persuasive storytelling-simple pictures, clear words, and powerful emotions-that together motivate audiences to pay attention, learn something new, and make effective decisions.
The Pop-Up Pitch weaves together the latest insights on visual cognition, behavioral economics, and classic story structures in an easy-to-learn and inspiring storytelling algorithm. In this new era of remote, work and online presenting, it delivers powerful and persuasive outcomes for time-limited professionals dealing with complex ideas, attention-deficit audiences, and the evolving challenges of modern meetings.
Critics Review

“The storyboard is a highly effective tool for helping people think visually about the problems to be solved, but just as important, it is a wonderful tool for presenting ideas to people who see them for the first time. Dan’s art of visual thinking and presentation is a wonderful creative tool and is well worth mastering.”—Ed Catmull, cofounder of Pixar Animation Studios and president of Pixar Animation and Disney Animation

In THE POP-UP PITCH, Dan Roam explains how we can use this powerful tool to create a compelling presentation in just a couple of hours—even those of us who ‘can’t draw.’ This is a profoundly imaginative and enjoyable book."—Annie Murphy Paul, author of Origins and The Extended Mind
