Planning is like rolling a joint.

... there are many ways to do it.

Page 4: Creative Planning @ Miami Ad School
Page 5: Creative Planning @ Miami Ad School

I had a look at your curriculum and thought: ”what’s missing?”And although it looks good, I think it’s highly focused on classical account planning - basically the stuff that happens before the [change] brief.

Page 6: Creative Planning @ Miami Ad School

Creative brief

Cause I really believe there are many challenges even after the briefing and that’s really what I’m going to talk about...

Page 7: Creative Planning @ Miami Ad School

It’s kind of like this... From a nice and linear path you’re suddenly in a big cloud... Or is it?

Page 8: Creative Planning @ Miami Ad School

Creative planning

So for the next hour or so we’re gonna talk about this. Creative planning. So, why is Creative planning important?

Page 9: Creative Planning @ Miami Ad School

The thing is: there’s no real shortage of ”smart MBA people” in the world. And there’s no shortage of creatives either.

”My attitude is that creativity might be a commodity.”

Creativity might be a commodity says Alex Bogusky... So, the trick isn’t really to be really creative or really strategic, but it’s really to combine the two.

I really believe that this is what advertising is all about, and that’s why Creative Planning is important.

The creative domain

The rest of this presentation I’m going to talk about this: the creative domain, the area or arena which the advertising will take place and some tools for filling it.

Get the basics right(strategic planning)

Get the basics right OR strategic planning. It’s really important to get the basics right, because countless times I’ve seen creative teams lost in the process when there’s no basic planning.

New views on consumption may lead to an increase in sales of the retail chains own brands;

Among all Nordic consumers, Swedes show the lowest intention to switch to cheaper grocery brands, even though overall intention has increased - from 21 % in October 2008, to 35 % in May 2009.

Hypothesis

Consumption development: Sweden

- Declining sales of ”light” dairies, with less fat- Yoghurt/ fil with more fat increases

NOTE- Filmjölk has its strongest position in northern Sweden, while yoghurt is mostly consumed by people in the western and eastern parts respectively.

Downturn pick-me-up: A Good Cup of Coffee or Tea

Coffee and tea may benefit by a downturn, from consumers who consider them to be a less

expensive alternative to other non-alcoholic beverages, such as soft drinks and juices. Coffee and

tea are viewed by most consumers as necessary staples.

A similiar trend can be seen in Sweden; ”Coffee and sweets

seems to be the only thing people do not cut their spendings

on”

Models

And when it comes to models, use them even if you risk being ”theoretical”.

Tools: the workflow

Page 27: Creative Planning @ Miami Ad School

ChaosOrder

The workflow is seldom linear. But it’s not totally chaotic either. So as a planner you can really achieve creativity by remodelling the workflow by setting ”rules” etc.

Page 28: Creative Planning @ Miami Ad School

Wieden & Kennedy has an interesting concept which is about ”embracing failure”, based on the insight that the risk of failure hinders creativity.

Page 29: Creative Planning @ Miami Ad School

Behaviors Characteristic

At Jung von Matt we’ve done our own little exercise to find out how we can be more creative. With the help of a psychologist we’ve tried to map what makes creative behavior.

Page 30: Creative Planning @ Miami Ad School

As an example: we came to the insight that generating a lot of ideas without dissing them is key and therefore developed a simple idea template which is a piece of paper where you scribble down your ideas. In that way you will not get discouraged through negative comments in the process.

Page 31: Creative Planning @ Miami Ad School

We also created an idea wall that encourages discussion around creative work - only with positive feedback.

Page 32: Creative Planning @ Miami Ad School

End-user focus

Another tool I’ve used in some projects as a planner is to focus on the end-user emotions or experience rather than message or concept.

Build an inspiration portfolio

Another tool which is outside the workflow is to build an inspiration portfolio. The key word is portfolio, because it’s like having a constant stock of assets which you can draw your inspiration from. I’d like to present you mine:

… connect the dots

... and with your inspiration portfolio you can simply connect the dots with all the strategy, concepts, insights, etc. into one idea.

Creative strategies

Creative strategy is the soft side to the formal brand or communications strategy.

Page 66: Creative Planning @ Miami Ad School

An uncompromising direction

The goal is to find an UNCOMPROMISING & SINGLE-MINDED direction. By uncompromising I mean that there are always gaps between strategy and executions, so the creative strategy is really about filling this gap and turning it into a positive force.

Page 67: Creative Planning @ Miami Ad School

Rule #1: you can position anything.

And there’s really only one rule to a creative strategy.So forget those 2 by 2 grids.

That was a bit on Creative planning. To summarise you could say that the creative planning role is to be the midfielder: it’s all about deadly passes.
