When it comes to social media content creation the age-old principle of the Rule of Three still stands. At Mirage and Mole – our award-winning marketing agency, we harness this powerful technique to drive engagement and impact. We craft inclusive, compelling and resonant content that captivates audiences and delivers results. But what exactly is the Rule of Three, and how does it elevate content to new heights?
What is the Rule of Three
The rule of three is a rhetorical or writing principle that suggests that things that are presented in threes are inherently more satisfying, effective and memorable. It’s a widely recognised principle that is used in various forms of communication including writing, public speaking, advertising, storytelling and in today’s social media-focused world even content creation.
This rule says that information presented in threes tends to be more engaging, persuasive, and much easier for your audience to remember when compared to other numbers or lengthy lists. It’s all based on the idea that three items or three points create a pattern that is both impactful and memorable. This strikes the right balance between being concise and comprehensive. The rule of three can manifest in different ways:
- Speech and rhetoric. In speeches or presentations, the speaker will often use triads (groups of three) to convey the ideas. At the same time, emphasising and reinforcing their message. This structure helps to make key points more memorable for the audience.
- Writing and storytelling. Authors and storytellers usually use this rule to structure not only their plot but their characters or ideas in a narrative. It can involve setting up a pattern of three elements. For example, three challenges or three main characters, to create an interesting and memorable storyline.
- Marketing and advertising. Marketeers often use the rule of three to create catchy slogans the suasive messages or memorable advertising campaigns. It is used to make the content more impactful and memorable for the prospective consumers or buyers.
Did you see what we did there!? Overall, the rule of three capitalises on the human brain’s tendency to find patterns. And its ability to easily remember information presented in threes. It’s a powerful tool used across various forms of communication to improve engagement, memorability and overall impact.
