Good advertising begins with good strategy.
Ok, so what is strategy?
In a nutshell, it’s turning business problems into creative opportunities.
And it starts with the brief.
A brief can be anything. A story told in pictures, a manifesto, a conversation, a single line. But it usually answers these questions:
PROBLEM // What problem are we really solving?TRUTH // What is a truth about culture, people, our category, or our brand that can help us solve our problem?AMBITION // What is the most remarkable thing we can say about our brand ?
PROBLEMThis is where you must go beyond the obvious. Try to capture something people think or feel about the brand that must change.
We need to sell more baby carrots.People don’t eat baby carrots because vegetables feel like a punishment.
NOTTHIS THIS
TRUTHThis isn’t a truth you can Google. This is where you prove you’re good observers – of people, culture, a category, or a brand.
Baby carrots are 127% more popular than other vegetables.
They’re crunchy, small, and bright orange. Baby carrots are more snack than vegetable.
NOTTHIS THIS
AMBITIONThis is your chance to say something remarkable and unexpected about the brand, something that will change minds. Don’t be modest. It doesn’t have to be true today because you’re going to make it true tomorrow.
They’re crunchy. The ultimate crunchy snack.
NOTTHIS THIS
OK, PROVE IT
