The Millers describe the main characteristics of sticky ideas-Simple, Unexpected, Concrete, Credible, Emotional, Stories which spells out SUCCES.
Simple: It's the economy stupid-James Carville

Concrete: Land a man on the moon by the end of the decade-JFK
Credible: If you can make it in NY you can make it anywhere-The Sinatra Test
