THE VENTURE CAPITAL EFFECT

HOW DO AGENCIES INNOVATE? The question of the decade Let’s review the situation 15

TALENT Ad agencies have recruited some of the most creative people in the world 16

BYPRODUCTS The byproduct of agencies are ideas that don’t get sold, or they are not appropriate for that particular client 17

FUNDING Agencies are establishing venture capital funds to take their own ideas to market 18

REVENUE CLIENTS IPAgencies want to control their fate and would like half of their revenue to come from clients and half from IP they own 50% 50% 19

THE MOVEMENT IS HAPPENING 20

THE IDEA IS SPREADING Anomaly (NY, London) BBH ZAG (NY, London) KSB+P Ventures (NY) Deutsch Consigliere (NY) Trumpet (New Orleans) Rockfish Interactive (Arkansas, Ohio) ...and many more 23

HOW TO DO IT?

DO IT DIFFERENT Are companies inventing products that their factories can make, or products they know consumers want to buy? 29

R&D FORMULATION R&D people make interesting formulations aimed at filling important and unmet needs in a category 30

R&D TO CONCEPT TESTThe marketing department describes these product features and tests these features with consumers 31

CONCEPT TEST TO BRAND PERSONALITYFinally, the marketing people take the winning concept to thead agency, which figures out the brand voice and personality 32

FLIPPING THE R&D PROCESS 33

WHERE TO BEGIN? Find the Consumer Paradox 34

SOLUTIONS TO CONSUMER PARADOXES Babies scream on airplanes when business travelers want sleep. OH WELL A challenging career takes lots of time and investment, but so does a satisfying home life. OH WELL People want to be healthy but they also don’t want to make an extraordinary effort. OH WELL 35

HOW AGENCY PEOPLE INNOVATE Name Human Problem Energy or Conflict or Design Listen to Complaints Attraction Tension Attitude Low Energy Category Consumer Insight Behavior Shifts 36 Technology Shifts Market Size

WHAT I READ 54

THE QUESTIONS

WHAT IF WE INCREASED RETENTION? What if our employees could ignite their own ventures with agencies as partners, increasing retention on projects they own? 56

CAN AGENCIES DO BOTH? What if we offered clients both a world class agency and an idea incubator that created brand value instead of marketing expense? 57

BRAND INVENTION What if in addition to funding Marketing, our clients were building equity? 58

ARE AGENCIES ATTRACTIVE? What if we created an industry where entrepreneurs brought us their ideas, instead of a Traditional VC or Angel Investor? 59
