CASE STUDY: JOHNNIE WALKER BLACK LABEL

                          This was years ago, so I’m not knocking the agency that did
                          it. But it was a turning point for me in understanding the
                          wrong and right ways to think about rich ideas.

                          The following model is still commonly used by many brands...

man vs
                          rich conversation:
                                                          machine




                        story-telling device:              android




                       Like a lot of advertising, the rich idea was distilled into a
                       symbol/device that made the message potent and distinctive.

                         story-telling device:        android: “amplified”




                       But it was the device that the client wanted to amplify.

                       story-telling device:         android: “amplified”




                                The richer conversation - and all its potential
                                meaning and opportunities - was left behind.

                             Does this really happen?

CHANGE PERCEPTIONS > CHANGE BEHAVIOUR


                       “This made sense in an era when marketing was limited
                       to generating thoughts, but [...] things are often more
                       complicated to explain than they are to do.”

                       - Adrian Ho, Zeus Jones




Saturday, 8 May 2010
CHANGE BEHAVIOUR > CHANGE PERCEPTIONS

                       “If you want to change behaviour, change behaviour...
                       or give them something to copy”

                       - Faris Yakob


                       “We learn by doing, and doing changes how we think
                       about something.”

I believe that if you give people something to do it
                       can accelerate people into the richer conversation

“Marketers spend too much time trying to get people
                       to leap over the hurdle of "buy this, right now" and
                       not enough on "it's yours, here's how you keep it."
                       - Seth Godin
