The document discusses social media marketing and the importance of ideas in branding. It notes that while authenticity and transparency are important, brands still need magic and aspirations. It emphasizes that ideas are everything in marketing and that the opportunity for ideas has changed with social media, requiring integrated, multi-disciplinary campaigns across different platforms and touchpoints. The key is to start with big ideas and put people in the product by entertaining, storytelling, and empowering them to be heroes.

8. It’s Not About the Science
[On the introduction of TV advertising]
The boffins had taken over - they could
bamboozle clients with all the technical jargon
of this mind boggling new media. In the land
of the blind, the one-eyed producer proved to
be king. And these one-eyed men - and they
were all men - were the kings of advertising.
Until, that is, someone said ‘we need an idea.‘
And then the one eyed producers were found
to be somewhat wanting...

10. People Thinking
The key to great marketing is
never to stop thinking like
your audience... Understanding
the role your brand plays in
people’s lives and knowing
how to make it more relevant
is crucial...

13. “Authenticity is, um, the Key”
• Goal: be transparent, human, real, true
• But people buy brands: diamonds, Audi, Levis, etc
• Facebook: “Hey guys, what did you do this weekend?”
• Problem: lack of charisma is fatal / we can all play that game
• Problem: what magic is there to aspire to?
• What makes a brand in this environment?
• Brands are different now. 24x7, always on, support as marketing, marketing
as support. How do we turn that into magic?

14. Ideas, Ideas, Ideas
Ideas and stories are everything,
otherwise advertising is just
information.
The trick is to make advertising
interesting and relevant...
Ultimately, it’s just common sense
and a desire to excite people...

25. The Creative Plan...
Change the Brief. Create a mission.
Get inside people’s heads (and shoes).
Make people...
Entertainers Storytellers Sages Benefactors HEROES!
Think: Personal kudos, social capital.
Use big IDEAS. Draper meets The Zuck.
Big ideas are not dead - we need GOOD IDEAS, wired for social. Plan accordingly.
