Strategic Planning In Advertising

STRATEGIC PLANNING IN ADVERTISING By Gri n Farley for the Tampa Ad2 Club September 2009

This weekend I watched the movie BIG with my family. The main character was promoted to VP of Product Development because he was able to bring insights about children to upper management. The consumer (himself as a 14 year old boy) was the only thing he knew to talk about. The best planners are able to think about their consumers like that.

First Job in Advertising It also hit home for me because my first job in advertising was marketing toys.

year year year year year year 1 2 3-4 5-6 7 8-10 Since then I have had the pleasure of working on lots of different brands, but more importantly for a strategic planner was the opportunity to talk to lots of different consumer audiences.

My Goal Tonight I want you to add something to your marketing tool box. Maybe it’s a theory, maybe it’s a blog I reference or maybe it’s a case study that I show you. If you don’t learn anything new come talk to me afterwards.

Brand Planning Account Planning Media Planning Connection Planning Propagation Planning Transmedia Planning These are the different forms of strategic planning that I am going to talk about tonight.
