Session details

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.
