Common sense is not so common

5 P’s of Marketing are dead! Hmm.

Digital is only a channel! Sorry?

Advertising is dead! You wish.

No one clicks banners! Of course people do.

The big idea is sunk! How come?

Online can’t built a brand!

Digital is cheap. No. It’s not.

Times of simple theories and strategies are over.

Now it comes to us. Remember the stuff from the

last ten years, and live the future of Marketing.

That’s what it is all about. Make sense in the anarchy.

It’s about common sense.

There is a planner in all of us

You need (and have) planning skills, even if you are not a planner.

Creatives need planning skills, Marketing people need planning skills.

Everything else is just guessing, or MbA (Marketing by Accident).

Strategy is a pattern of consistent behaviour over time.

A B Strategic and creative lead.

Taking care that we are going somewhere.

And taking care that we have a lot of fun on the way.

Doing the right things vs. doing the things right.

What are planners doing?

Planners do many things. Planners understand cultural environments and brand context.

They draw the right conclusions, or insights, out of this knowledge. The summarize and present results.

They write briefings. They re-write briefings. They challenge. They accompany creatives.

Here's the scoop: We have too much business and need to hire more staff ASAP!! Multicultural planning experience highly preferred. Have you had planners reporting to you and enjoy mentoring junior planners? Are you both curious and very confident? Can you inspire others, and instill confidence in clients? Do you have any experience with either the Hispanic or African American or Urban market in the U.S.? If you have excellent writing skills, can write/present exceptionally well, can design/facilitate research, can be able to work independently on new biz/pitch work as well as mentor and supervisor more junior planners below them with at least 4 years account/strategic planning experience and are ready for your next promotion, please contact laura@bltrecruiting.com.

More scoop: you will manage a staff of three currently, but the plan is to hire more to help stimulate growth and new business. Should be skilled in both qualitative and quantitative research. Will be involved in all media: Print, TV, radio interactive/on-line, digital, events, direct response. Writing skills and strong presentation skills essential as well

“Brand Strategy is a plan for the systematic development of a brand to enable it to meet its agreed objectives. The strategy should be rooted in the brand's vision and driven by the principles of differentiation and sustained customer appeal. The brand strategy should influence the total operation of a business to ensure consistent brand behaviours and brand experiences.”

How do planners work?

In real life the job is not so clear and structured. A planner has to be patient,

wait for the right opportunities.

Planning is also the policy of small steps to the right direction.

“In 1963, beer brewer Alfred Heineken and architect John Habraken created the Heineken WOBO (WOrld BOttle) - the "brick that holds beer". Heineken came up with the idea during a visit to the Caribbean where he observed two significant problems: beaches littered with bottles and a lack of affordable building materials. The WOBO was his solution to these challenges. Unfortunately, this environmentally-friendly design failed to take off and was subsequently shelved. We wonder if it would fare better in today's more eco-sensitive climate...?”

Anyhow. We are in creative business. Whatever we do – it’s the creativity which

makes things fly or die.
