I really love this guy... And if every each one of us would be really enthousiastic about planning campaigns like he is about chemistry, we would be on our way to the stars...
But before we start... I’d like to show you a video that really inspired me... And in a way, it shows everything you need to have while planning an advertising campaign...
Goal – that a girl notices him
Target market – a brunette girl, his school colleague

Meet Felicity Smoak. Best researcher on TV. She can hack, extract data, get anywhere & anything she wants. Be like Felicity. Or....
This guys know what a good strategy is. And how to change it if something goes wrong. They’ve done it a million times. What they did really well? They always tried to be one step ahead.
So... Try to think bigger. Out of your comfort zone.
If you search for Mad Men tv shows, you will mostly see men in the focus. Why I chose this picture? These two women knew how to get what they wanted. They had a strategy. They overcomed discrimination and succeed in a man’s man’s world.

KPI’s are important. But you have to be realistic.
Perfect examples are drug lords. They all had a problem of too much money to laundry. So they digged holes in the ground, hidding the cash. A perfect example of KPI’s gone wrong.
They plan everything up and something out of the blue happens. And it happens quite often. The point is - You have to be prepared for everything. Don’t forget to prepare a contingency plan for your campaign, always.

It’s great to suceed, but you cannot be a complete business professional without a failure. Why? You learn a lot from failures because you give your best to get something out of it. You try harder. You work stronger. You just have to keep on trying.
