What is Creative Advertising?Advertising tries to deliver the right message to the right person at the right time and must have: Relevance – ideas have to mean something important
to the audience. Originality – one of a kind ideas that only one person
thinks of. Impact – a commercial with impact has the stopping
power that comes from an intriguing idea, something you have never thought about before.
This creativity leads to a Big Idea, which expresses an original advertising thought, and involves a mind shift.

Commodity (“me too”) Unique (preemptive) Execution often “is” concept/strategy (how said).
Product dominates strategy/copy (what said)
Style rules. Substance rules. Involvement is low. Involvement is high Model is feel/do (transformational). Model is think/do (informational). Stimulus is sensory or psychological. Stimulus is intellectual. Repetition can work (buildup effect) Believability, conviction are essential.

To Use Visuals Effectively,
Advertisers Must Focus on Six Key
Points:

27
Words and PicturesAdvertisers often use words in five situations: If the message is complicated. If the ad is for a high-involvement product. If the information needs definition and
explanation. If a message tries to convey abstract qualities
(such as justice and quality).Slogans and jingles help lock in key phrases that
cue a brand image or remind of a brand feature.

Examples of Successful Long-Running Ad Campaigns
Nike “Just do it.”
Allstate Insurance “You’re in good hand with Allstate.”
Hallmark Cards “When you care enough to send the very best.”
DeBeers “A diamond is forever.” BMW “The ultimate driving machine.” State Farm “Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.” Timex Watches “It takes a licking and keeps on ticking.”
Dial soap “Aren’t you glad you use Dial? Don’t you wish everyone did?”
