WHAT IS ACCOUNT PLANNING?

WHAT IS STRATEGY?
WHAT ARE THEY FOR?


I used to sell strategy
Strategy is making informed decisions about how to achieve
predetermined objectives


"Account planning is the discipline that brings the consumer into the
process of developing advertising.”

VOICE OF THE CONSUMER
IN ORDER TO
MAKE THE WORK, WORK
DIRECT + INSPIRE CREATIVITY
Stephen King, believing that clients deserved a better way of doing
things, proposed a process of advertising development that had a
little less gut feeling and a little more scientiﬁc foundation.

“We know brand preferences usually
aren’t rational,” he says, “and yet
we still persist in trying to put

advertising.”

METACOGNITIVE ERROR

“Somehow 30 seconds of entertaining nonsense
leads to a situation where people not only choose
this brand but will pay 35% more for it.”
- Paul Feldwick
