Understanding traditional concepts is easy
Knowing whether a digital idea is a good one is
far harder…


     Which media will it involve?     How do people participate?




        What technologies?          What conversation does it start?




     What is the user journey?         How does it get shared?




       How is it personalised?            How is it activated?
Can you articulate the strategy?


                  Your audience, who you define by need,
     Get               mindset, context, or whatever.




                 Do something in response to your marketing
     To        that actually does something that has a positive
                        effect on a business challenge




     By                 Using your cunning strategy
Can you articulate the strategy?


                People who don’t swim as much as they think
     Get                       they should




                  Associate Speedos with great swimming
     To                        experiences




     By           Getting them nostalgic about past swims
Maybe the strategy should have been


               Men who are put off Speedos because of their
    Get               association with gay culture




     To           Feel that they are a sportsman’s choice




                Emphasising the cutting edge streamlined
     By              technology of the swimwear
