How are you going to help make an advertising campaign get inside people’s heads if you struggle to write words that get into your colleagues’ heads?
Words are a strategist’s currency but too many strategies are written in spite of their audience, not for their audience.
In this masterclass, you will:
- Work a problem into a creative brief,
- Write insights,
- Write strategies that get into heads.
What will attendees learn?
- The Four Points framework,
- Ideas–linear and lateral thinking,
- Insights–how to have and write them,
- Strategy–how to write it, and
- Why brands need you to use words better.
You’ll run through over 10 exercises and make your own Four Points for a brand.
Who is the workshop for?
- Advertising and marketing strategists – Professionals responsible for crafting and communicating strategies that drive campaigns.
- Brand managers – Individuals ensuring strategic alignment while shaping a brand’s identity and messaging.
- Creative professionals (designers, art directors, creative leads) – Those who benefit from understanding the strategic foundation behind campaign briefs.
- Entrepreneurs and small business owners – People building brands who need to develop and articulate strategic insights clearly.
