Creative Secrets: Concepting a 360° Campaign

The problem when most people start concepting a new creative campaign is, they start from the wrong end. Art directors, particularly if they come from a design background, tend to noodle around in Photoshop, or by looking through stock photos. Writers tend to start by writing headlines, usually funny ones, or ones they think are funny anyway. Or they leaf through last year’s award winners in the same category.

But none of this is going to get you any closer to an actual idea.

Ideas are the core of a great campaign. In this ebook we’ll explore what an idea is and why it matters, the difference between an idea and a style, how to get ideas even when you’re not feeling inspired, how to tell good ones from bad ones, and the basics of building out a winning idea into a campaign.
