Editor's Notes
- #2 Jack Dorsey 24th march 2006 – flickr – twitter launch
- #3 Interesting they use Persuade , Manipulate, and Encourage… three words that elicit a similar outcome but are accomplished by very different means (I would say when advertising was invented it was passive and helpful, then it became Persuasive, that quickly turned to manipulation, now it is turning more toward encouraging through participation)
- #5 Leave out the jargon, who talk about tissue session, LSM’s, negative space, type, Essentially most of the time you the equivalent of the wait 5 seconds before you can skip this ad If only they had used din light this ad would have really talked to me and my identity. Remember when you put your video online, you compete with billions of content that's not advertising. Be brave
- #7 This is ultimately our job, no matter how great / clever / creative your ad is if its not getting noticed it’s worthless
- #9 This is ultimately our job, no matter how great / clever / creative your ad is if its not getting noticed it’s worthless
- #10 Dogs, easily trained and easily tricked, predictable
- #11 Cats – unpredictable, especially in a digital constantly shifting world – we want to be the string they play with
- #12 From tech for techs sake to a more humanising tech (making it feel more natural). Culturally humans are massively influenced by the tech they use (Think Cars / Computers / planes / smartphones / light bulbs) – with phones increasingly we spend more and more in-between moments on our phones, that is going to shift our outlook on the world and change the way we do things.
- #13 What – everyone knows what they do / sell How – Some people know the how they do it (unique selling points) Why – Few know the why – this is your purpose, your cause, your belief. Most brands /organisation sell from the outside working in e.g. (Car Brand) here is our new car, it has great fuel economy, buy our car. The best brands sell from the inside working out e.g. (Apple) everything we do we believe in challenging the status quo we believe in thinking differently / the way we challenge the status quo is by making our products beautifully designed, and user friendly / we just happen to make computers, what to buy one. The goal is not to do business with everyone, its to do business with the people who believe what you believe.
- #14 Ogilvy created a tool to find a brands belief system
- #15 Its call the big ideal and completes this sentence
- #18 SMALL THINGS OFTEN WORK WELL, KEEP IT SIMPLE, BE SMART, GET A PROPER URL ETC
- #20 There are no more mass audiences online, only mass niches.
- #21 extreme customers – you’ll learn more from them - If you want to do something extraordinary, go and talk to some extraordinary people. e.g. a company needed to develop some products to prevent blisters and sweaty feet,: who wears really uncomfortable shoes but needs to keep their feet looking nice? dominatrices. Or - A greetings card manufacturer wanted to create some new characters. So an agency recruited some teddy bear collectors to talk about ninja owls and other unbearably cute ideas.
- #22 DON’T AIM FOR FAILURE, AIM TO TEST
- #23 Technology that elicits a human emotion, creates tension, and leaves people with a positive feeling will always be shared more, watched more, and interacted with more. Doing good is good for business.
- #24 How to make the big seem small again – used to trust market places, now we just deal with brands, somewhere the personal touch has gone.
- #25 Technology that elicits a human emotion, creates tension, and leaves people with a positive feeling will always be shared more, watched more, and interacted with more. Doing good is good for business.
- #26 More people connect online through their phones now than through PC’s in SA and most countries in the world. With smartphones the way they are now interacting with our everyday world is now getting more and more exciting.
- #27 Haasbroek was smart, he did a facebook street art giveaway. Post a pic of his art in cape town, first person there can take it. (Click) he added an optional snapscan payment code for donations by the picture. (Click) on facebook he put a picture of the ScapScan code, people, including me donated cash because we loved the idea, even though we didn’t get the picture. Opens up new instant ways of paying safe and easily online & in real life.
- #28 DEVELOP A CULTURE THAT MAKE BETTER SMALL IDEAS
- #29 Now more than ever its important to adapt and keep up with the changes – particularity if your in tv/media/advertising
- #30 We live in a world of screens (think about how long it takes you to look at your phone in the morning). As advertisers we are increasingly in charge of putting things on those screens. Lets make things that have value, things that work, things that have longevity.
