Course Description
Develop An Advertising Strategy and Brief is about how the advertising industry determines advertiser requirements, through developing a well thought through communications brief, then a creative brief that stimulates and guides writers, art directors and account service people in developing advertising messages to target markets effecting a positive response.
The series of briefs leading up to actually devising images, words and copy that form advertisements, disciplines thinking so that the final message is aimed at the right people in a format that is going to attract their attention. This stage is the platform for the development of ‘big ideas’ in advertising – what consumers hear, read and see that grabs their attention – in fact the creative device that communicates the message.
In short, the course explores both elements in the creative concept development stage:
• Writing a client brief from a marketing plan
• Writing a creative brief
• Working with writers and art directors
• Brainstorming for breakthrough images and copy
• Incorporating creative ideas across various mediums
• Evaluating the value of an integrated communication approach
• Writing creative rationales
• Developing a concept to presentation stage
• How to present to a client
