          THE CREATIVE BRIEF
    What’s the real problem to be solved?

    Amongst whom?

    How do we approach solving this?

    Why do they care?

Defining         The Platform

                The Executions
YESTERDAY



          DEFINE THE BIG IDEA
    What best illustrates the brand’s driving proposition?

    What do people really want that the brand can really do?

    What is the unifying thread throughout the campaign?

    Does the idea entertain, evoke emotion, or provide utility?
HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED: TODAY

Ideas can define “platforms” not just campaigns
• A platform is not a TV campaign with matching luggage
   but rather a long term commitment that lives on
   –   Nike+/Fuel
   –   Chipotle “Cultivate”
   –   Pepsi Refresh
   –   Old Spice The Man Your Man Could Be
   –   Kickstarter


• A good platform must be:
   –   Generous
   –   Multifaceted
   –   Responsive
   –   Propagated
HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED: TODAY

New technologies & behaviors define brilliant tactics
• T-Mobile Flashmob in Liverpool Station
• Amex Sync
• Intel’s Museum of Me
• Gillette’s London 2012 Boston Harbor Hologram
• Skittles Touch the Rainbow
• Coca-Cola Project Rebrief
• Google YouTube Symphony
HOW HAS THE BIG IDEA CHANGED: TODAY?

•   More participatory
•   More social & communal
•   More fragmented
•   More transparent
•   Always on
•   Location increasingly important
IT’S NOT SIMPLY ABOUT THE BIG IDEA

• Its about asking better questions to understand today

Pre-Digital                      Post-Digital
What can we say?                 What can we do?
How can we interrupt?            How can we retain?
What spaces do we fill?          What spaces can we create?
What’s our proposition?          What’s our mission?
Where is the TV script?          Where does the idea fit best?
How does the idea look?          How does the idea behave?
TODAY



                    THE BIG IDEA
    What is the executional core of the idea?

    Where does the idea best manifest itself?

    Does the idea connect on a culturally relevant human level?

    Does it start conversations and stories on behalf of a brand?
THE FRAMEWORK




                The Engagement Strategy
Awesoming
                    The Ecosystem
AWESIFY THE BIG IDEA
Define the ecosystem, the behaviors, & the media canvas:

•   Where are people interacting?

•   What are the cultures of these channels?

•   How should the idea behave in each space?

Build the ecosystem, the engagement strategy, the channels

•   How do we disrupt yet honor the ecosystem?

•   How do we uniquely interact at the right engagement level?
HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED: TODAY

The rise of new technology fuels new media channels
• Can’t just build to channels by how they work:
   – TV: Broadcasters transmitting video to individual receivers in
     peoples homes through channels featuring tailored content to
     people’s interests that advertisers can buy space on
   – Twitter: A microblogging platform where people have handles to
     contribute & consume information in the form of tweets from any
     digital device


• Must understand the cultures & the behaviors of each
  channel ecosystem
   – Amex Sync - Foursquare, Twitter, Facebook
   – Old Spice The Man Your Man Could Be – YouTube
   – Nike+/Fuel - Mobile
HOW HAS CULTURE CHANGED: TODAY?
•   More participatory
•   More social & communal
•   More fragmented
•   More transparent
•   Always on
•   Location increasingly important
IT’S NOT SIMPLY ABOUT MAKING IT AWESOME

• Its about understanding the cultural behaviors of
  ecosystems
