SOME BRANDS BADGE

Branding is what makes you
want to put Nike on your feet,
Disney in your vacation, and
Haagen Dasz in your
refrigerator.

Thinking Through:
What are We Trying to Achieve?

“A problem well-stated is a problem half solved”
Charles Kettering

OpenMind!
Arriving at a “Killer Objective”
Think About…

“I want to be part of that.”
“Tell me more.”
“That reminds me…”

What Type Of
Response Do We
Want?

“Wow. That’s surprising.”
“I knew I was right.”
“Sharing!!”
“…Adding to the to-do list.”
“Time to eat!”

And, perhaps…

Is anything happening in culture that can
help us?
When we look at the world and society, can
we use anything to give our effort more
energy? Is there a wave we can catch? A
point of tension we can leverage? An
opportunity we can exploit?

A good brief is kindling. It starts a spark.
Nick Cohen, Founder Mad Dogs & Englishmen

a standard creative brief answers
these questions:
1.  What are we trying to do?
2.  Who are we talking to and what should we
know about them?
3. What s the main idea?
4. Why should they believe this?
5. What tone of voice should the advertising
have?
6. What practical considerations are there?

GETCHA POPCORN READY
why are we advertising/what’s the background?
Body wash sales are eclipsing those for bar soap. And many male brands (including Dial, Irish
Spring, and Nivea) have swooped in to get a piece of the pie. Old Spice’s share in the male
body wash segment is slipping. We need to protect our share in the category. The problem
to solve is how to generate excitement with guys who are not currently Old Spice customers.

what’s the key insight?
60% of men’s body washes are purchased by women.

the people we’re seeking to attract?
Millennials (males and females, 18-34). They are the most diverse (1 in 3 is not white), most
educated, most marketed to, most medicated, and most cared for generation in history.
Nearly half of Millennials were raised by divorced parents, 33% lived with a single parent, and
nearly 75% had working mothers.  Millennials have come of age during a time of rapid
technological and social shifts. The advent of smartphones and texting created whole new
paradigms of communication and interaction. More than 95% of Millennials have an account
on at least one social networking site. Characterized as impatient and with a high need for
immediate response, Millennials reflect the shift to real-time information and sharing.
Despite the shifts around them, Millennials exhibit confidence, connectedness, and value a
deep sense of being called to a cause greater than themselves. Today, only half of
Millennials have entered the workforce but they are being highly studied and are certain to
have a dramatic impact in how we define “work, play and pray.” As it relates to this
product, they are vain and fickle with brands. Loyalty is defined by a sense of, “What have
you done for me lately?” They fein differentiation, so any attempt to make them stand out
will be accepted with open arms.

1.
what’s the single most compelling idea?
Smelling manly is sexy.

what’s the brand’s personality?
fun - doesn’t attempt to be serious
cool - on trend and part of the “in” crowd
irreverent - non-traditional and liberal
sexy - attractive and desirable
spirited - has flare and moxie

what are the executional mandatories?
tv
social
digital
radio
ooh

2.
why are we advertising/what’s the background?
Ragu is losing market share due to an aging customer base. The original customers of the
brand are now older, and their kids have outgrown home cooked meal or moved out of the
house all together. The problem to solve is how to increase sales and change the image of
the brand in the eyes of a new consumer.

what’s the key insight?
Hindsight makes us forget how tough it is to be a kid. It’s tougher today than ever before.

the people we’re seeking to attract?
Mothers (25-35) - She is the designated chief operating officer of the home. Motherhood will
always distinguish most women from men and put them at the center of home and family
life. While that’s not necessarily a bad thing, many mothers, especially working mothers, are
time- crunched and stressed, putting in long hours at work and at home. To reach this
demographic, marketers need not just to communicate that the goods and services they
offer are practical and convenient; they also need to make real moms feel confident and in
charge.
She is looking for solutions that will help her manage the complexities of her life, lessen her
stress and workload, and give her more time to focus on what’s really important. She wants to
be a good mom and COO of the household but also have an identity outside that. And while
she may be embracing her perfectly imperfect self—as a mother and beyond—she wants
brands to catch up. In plainer terms, she wants products and services that provide value to
her and her family—and that give her permission to be imperfect and recognize her identity
outside of being a mom. Perhaps more importantly, they want to be real women, with
interests that include and extend beyond their roles as caretakers, providers and nurturers.

1.
what’s the single most compelling idea?
Childhood sucks. Reward your kids with Ragu.

what’s the brand’s personality?
Traditional – caters to everyday living
Safe – never a poor choice
Homely – part of families
Timeless – has been around and is here to stay

what are the executional mandatories?
tv
social
digital
radio

2.
NOW I WANT YOU TO HIT ME
AS HARD AS YOU CAN
why are we advertising/what’s the background?
Dodge is prepared to launch the new Charger. Because Chevy and Ford have both recently
released new model, Camaro and Mustang, respectively, increasing market penetration with
the new model will be difficult. Our problem to solve is how to make an impact in the market,
staying true to the brand but also differentiating ourselves from the competition.

what’s the key insight?
the people we’re seeking to attract?

1.
what’s the single most compelling idea?
what’s the brand’s personality?

what are the executional mandatories?

  • 47. why are we advertising/what’s the background? Body wash sales are eclipsing those for bar soap. And many male brands (including Dial, Irish Spring, and Nivea) have swooped in to get a piece of the pie. Old Spice’s share in the male body wash segment is slipping. We need to protect our share in the category. The problem to solve is how to generate excitement with guys who are not currently Old Spice customers. what’s the key insight? 60% of men’s body washes are purchased by women. the people we’re seeking to attract? Millennials (males and females, 18-34). They are the most diverse (1 in 3 is not white), most educated, most marketed to, most medicated, and most cared for generation in history. Nearly half of Millennials were raised by divorced parents, 33% lived with a single parent, and nearly 75% had working mothers.  Millennials have come of age during a time of rapid technological and social shifts. The advent of smartphones and texting created whole new paradigms of communication and interaction. More than 95% of Millennials have an account on at least one social networking site. Characterized as impatient and with a high need for immediate response, Millennials reflect the shift to real-time information and sharing. Despite the shifts around them, Millennials exhibit confidence, connectedness, and value a deep sense of being called to a cause greater than themselves. Today, only half of Millennials have entered the workforce but they are being highly studied and are certain to have a dramatic impact in how we define “work, play and pray.” As it relates to this product, they are vain and fickle with brands. Loyalty is defined by a sense of, “What have you done for me lately?” They fein differentiation, so any attempt to make them stand out will be accepted with open arms. 1.
  • 48. what’s the single most compelling idea? Smelling manly is sexy. what’s the brand’s personality? fun - doesn’t attempt to be serious cool - on trend and part of the “in” crowd irreverent - non-traditional and liberal sexy - attractive and desirable spirited - has flare and moxie what are the executional mandatories? tv social digital radio ooh 2.
  • 49. why are we advertising/what’s the background? Ragu is losing market share due to an aging customer base. The original customers of the brand are now older, and their kids have outgrown home cooked meal or moved out of the house all together. The problem to solve is how to increase sales and change the image of the brand in the eyes of a new consumer. what’s the key insight? Hindsight makes us forget how tough it is to be a kid. It’s tougher today than ever before. the people we’re seeking to attract? Mothers (25-35) - She is the designated chief operating officer of the home. Motherhood will always distinguish most women from men and put them at the center of home and family life. While that’s not necessarily a bad thing, many mothers, especially working mothers, are time- crunched and stressed, putting in long hours at work and at home. To reach this demographic, marketers need not just to communicate that the goods and services they offer are practical and convenient; they also need to make real moms feel confident and in charge. She is looking for solutions that will help her manage the complexities of her life, lessen her stress and workload, and give her more time to focus on what’s really important. She wants to be a good mom and COO of the household but also have an identity outside that. And while she may be embracing her perfectly imperfect self—as a mother and beyond—she wants brands to catch up. In plainer terms, she wants products and services that provide value to her and her family—and that give her permission to be imperfect and recognize her identity outside of being a mom. Perhaps more importantly, they want to be real women, with interests that include and extend beyond their roles as caretakers, providers and nurturers. 1.
  • 50. what’s the single most compelling idea? Childhood sucks. Reward your kids with Ragu. what’s the brand’s personality? Traditional – caters to everyday living Safe – never a poor choice Homely – part of families Timeless – has been around and is here to stay what are the executional mandatories? tv social digital radio 2.
  • 51. NOW I WANT YOU TO HIT ME AS HARD AS YOU CAN
  • 52. why are we advertising/what’s the background? Dodge is prepared to launch the new Charger. Because Chevy and Ford have both recently released new model, Camaro and Mustang, respectively, increasing market penetration with the new model will be difficult. Our problem to solve is how to make an impact in the market, staying true to the brand but also differentiating ourselves from the competition. what’s the key insight? the people we’re seeking to attract? 1.
  • 53. what’s the single most compelling idea? what’s the brand’s personality? what are the executional mandatories? 2.
