Creative Brief
• Why are we advertising?• Whom are we talking to?* • What do they currently think?• What would we like them to think?• What is the single most persuasive idea we
can convey?• Why should they believe it?
Know your audience
• For your ads AND for your book.
“Make your own website.” p. 325• “Just make sure it’s easy to navigate
and that the load times are minimal or nonexistent.”

“Don’t show just ads. Show cool, big-ass ideas executed in a lot of different media.” pp. 322-323• “Keep in mind that the same idea
sized to fit newspaper, then outdoor, then online, is not a campaign. In fact, that’s where the word brochure-ware comes from, trying to drag a print-based idea kicking and screaming into the digital space—by the time it gets there, it’s dead anyway.”
“Come up with monstrous ideas, not just monstrous ads.” pp. 316-318• Ed McCabe: “I’m not interested in day-
after recall of ads. I’m interested in 10-year recall.”
“Fill your portfolio with campaigns, not one-shots.” p. 312• “And remember, the best campaigns
aren’t three one-shots strung together by a common typeface, but one big idea executed across a whole bunch of different media.”
