Lin-Manuel Miranda, creator and star of “Hamilton” and “In the Heights,” excels in acting, singing and dancing. Gene Kelly was a master of acting, singing and dancing, best known for films like “Singin’ in the Rain” and “An American in Paris.”
These artists are triple threats — literally one in a million. In fact, Miranda has talent that exceeds a triple threat as he is also a songwriter and producer, making him a quintuple threat.
Full stop.
Think about marketing and marketers. How many marketers do you know that are “triple threats?” These versatile professionals combine: 1) Data mastery, 2) Creative brilliance and 3) Optimization expertise.
