“ The cod fish lays ten thousand eggs, the homely hen lays one. The cod fish never cackles to tell you what she’s done. And so we scorn the cod fish, while the humble hen we prize. It only goes to show you that it pays to advertise ” - Ogden Nash

9.
Such is the power of Advertising!

10.
In early 20 th century in America, the production of oranges grew at an alarming rate. With the result of which, orange trees were being cut down and natural resources started to be getting wasted.

11.
Mr. Lasker who regarded the idea of cutting trees as criminal came up with a revolutionary solution for Sunkist, a leading international citrus supplier … … to persuade the public to drink orange juice.

12.
He created something called “Juice Extractor”, which not only gave a way to consume oranges but also changed the behavior of the public. Mr. Albert Lasker is the founder of FCB and is regarded as the father of modern advertising.

32.
In 1988, a meeting was held of Nike’s ad agency Wieden and Kennedy and a group of Nike employees. Dan Weiden, speaking admiringly of Nike’s can-do attitude, reportedly said, “You Nike guys, you just do it.” The rest, as they say, is history.

36.
Who is the media planner?

37.
Sholay’s debut on Indian Television <ul><li>In mid-90s, the 1976 Indian blockbuster film “Sholay” was to be aired by Doordarshan for the first time on television…billed as an event with large mass viewership…albeit at high costs. </li></ul><ul><li>With low budget for advertising, Fevicol’s brand team ruled out any chance of brand being a part of the great screening. </li></ul><ul><li>But somewhere the opportunity seen by the Media Planner and his insistence led to a brainstorming and joint viewing of the film with the entire team… </li></ul>

38.
Ideas that they came up with… <ul><li>Identify how frequently the concept of bonding appears in the film, either visually or in the dialogue </li></ul><ul><li>At that point, notice which actor/ actress’s voice over comes </li></ul><ul><li>Inject specially created five second messages at these points, using readily identifiable voice of the actor/ actress to promote Fevicol’s lasting bond ! </li></ul>

39.
The role of the Media Planner <ul><li>He had to find a way out for these messages would not appear in regular commercial capsules as directed by Doordarshan </li></ul><ul><li>He had to make the five-second injections appear without commercial break swipe on either side of the message and back to the film </li></ul><ul><li>And he had to do it without paying any premium to the channel! </li></ul>

40.
Surprise! Surprise! <ul><li>When the film was aired, everyone including the channel, sponsors and viewers were surprised. </li></ul><ul><li>Fevicol appeared just seven times with total of 35 seconds while Lux, the sponsor of the film, had 1000 seconds for all HLL brands spread all over the film. </li></ul><ul><li>Viewer research a day later gave the idea a triumphing victory with Fevicol getting highest recall with bonus perception of it being the main sponsor of the blockbuster. </li></ul><ul><li>This is what a Media Planner can do. </li></ul>

41.
Media Planners- Key role <ul><li>Media planners make sure that advertising campaigns are seen by as many people as possible. </li></ul><ul><li>They decide the best ways of using media like television and radio, press adverts, posters and the internet to reach the target audience. </li></ul>

42.
The role typically demands… <ul><li>Working with the client and an account management team to understand the client’s advertising needs </li></ul><ul><li>Researching the target audience’s TV viewing and reading habits and lifestyles </li></ul><ul><li>Planning the best times and places to show advertisements </li></ul><ul><li>Presenting plans and costing to clients </li></ul><ul><li>Working with a media buyer to cost and book advertising space </li></ul>

43.
Walk the Talk: How can you be responsible clients

44.
Being Responsible as Clients <ul><li>The Client Brief </li></ul><ul><li>Judging Creative Ideas </li></ul>

45.
“ Forget, just for a minute, that you are briefing an agency. Instead, pretend you are standing on the bank of a river about to build a bridge”

46.
Why write a brief? <ul><li>It leads to better, more effective and measurable work </li></ul><ul><ul><li>“ it is difficult to produce good creative work without a good brief” </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>“ The whole idea is to stimulate the creative imagination, not to restrict it. Ultimately you are buying creative ideas. Procurement people can sometimes write briefs as though they were buying copper piping or paperclips. But selling is an art. It’s more like briefing an architect. We need agencies to feel inspired so they can do their best work.” </li></ul></ul>An inspiring brief will buy a client the “ shower time” of his agency team!

47.
Why write a brief? <ul><li>It saves time and money </li></ul><ul><ul><li>“ We need agencies to get more work right first time. That saves time and money. A proper written brief makes the process more efficient that’s good for clients and good for agencies.” </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>“ The written brief instills a discipline on my team and the agency to be very clear about what the objectives and expected outcomes are.” </li></ul></ul>

48.
Principles of Good brief <ul><li>Remarkable consensus among clients & agencies on what makes a good brief. Three key areas: </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Written Briefs </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Clarity of thinking </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Clearly defined objectives </li></ul></ul>

49.
Principles of Good brief <ul><li>Written Briefs </li></ul><ul><ul><li>“ A combination of written and verbal briefing is the ideal” </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>“ We prefer a written brief because this forces the client to consider their request. The discipline of writing a brief ensures some rigour on their part </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>“ By writing a brief we have focussed on what it is we are expecting from our activity and what we expect our agencies to contribute/come back with. </li></ul></ul>

50.
Principles of Good brief <ul><li>Clarity of thinking </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Briefs are called ‘briefs’ because they are meant to be brief. They are a SUMMATION of your thinking </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Too much information will just fog the process </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><ul><li>Relevance & context are more important than reams of data </li></ul></ul></ul><ul><ul><ul><li>“ Clients should not underestimate how much a </li></ul></ul></ul><ul><ul><ul><li>good brief, written with real flair and delivered with belief, can help enthuse and inspire the agency.” </li></ul></ul></ul>

51.
Principles of Good brief <ul><li>Clearly defined objectives & success criterion </li></ul><ul><ul><li>“ Ultimately the point of communications is to get people to do things. Which people? What things? You’ve got the basis of the brief right there. Everything else is detail.” </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>“ The clarity of the objectives is the most fundamental part of a good written brief. The single greatest frustration is when there isn’t a clear and credible problem to solve.” </li></ul></ul>

52.
What a good brief should contain <ul><li>Principally, focus on defining the “two ends of the bridge”: </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Where are we now? </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Where do we want to be? </li></ul></ul>

53.
Main sections of a good client brief <ul><li>1. WHERE ARE WE NOW? </li></ul><ul><li>2.WHERE DO WE WANT TO BE? </li></ul><ul><li>3.WHAT ARE WE DOING TO GET THERE? </li></ul><ul><li>4. WHO DO WE NEED TO TALK TO? </li></ul><ul><li>5. HOW WILL WE KNOW WE’VE ARRIVED? </li></ul>

54.
Judging Creative Ideas judging ideas is both an innate talent and a skill. it’s both rational and emotional. it’s where personal tastes and preferences can collide with process and consensus . it requires imagination, leaders hip and trust. inevitably it leads to conflict .

55.
Assessing and responding to the IDEAS their agencies put forward is one of the most difficult things clients have to do

56.
Ten pieces to the jigsaw

57.
1. Be knowledgeable in advance <ul><li>To assess ideas you need to be able to place them in a broader </li></ul><ul><li>context and compare them against ideas you have seen elsewhere </li></ul><ul><li>and considered ‘good’ or ‘bad’: </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Know good ads, the ads that won the awards </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Know what your competitors are doing in media & creative terms </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Know how brands similar to yours are being marketed and advertised in other countries? </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>know your own brand’s advertising and promotional history inside out? </li></ul></ul>Also, don’t use the ad break to heat up dinner…. Do look at the advertising in newspapers….. Open the mail-packs that land on your doormat….Check the promotions in-store when you go shopping. ….Click on the ads on the Internet….. It will help remind you of the people you want to talk to.

58.
2. Come to the meeting with a smile  <ul><li>For sound business reasons, join the creative presentation hoping to enjoy yourself and ready to be inspired! </li></ul><ul><li>When people are having fun, they listen and contribute </li></ul>

59.
3. Back to the Brief <ul><li>Reminding yourself of your brief is essential. It provides you with a framework against which to evaluate the idea. </li></ul><ul><li>Make sure the agency does this too before they present. </li></ul>

60.
4. Empathize <ul><li>Try to empathize with the people bringing the ideas to you. Creative people are different. It matters less to them that a job is done on time and within budget than that it is done really well </li></ul>

61.
5. Clarify <ul><li>if the idea is not simple and single-minded, then perhaps the brief was not simple and single-minded either. </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Is it on brief? </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>What exactly is the idea? </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>What sort of an idea is it? </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>What sort of an execution is it? </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>How is the idea going to work? </li></ul></ul>

62.
5. Clarify <ul><li>What exactly is the idea? </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Idea and execution are not one & the same thing </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>In every Fevicol ad, the idea is that it sticks anything, but every ad is a different expression of the idea </li></ul></ul>

63.
5.Clarify <ul><li>What sort of an idea is it? </li></ul><ul><li>Few examples: </li></ul><ul><li>The product demo – when you show what the product actually does in an engaging and powerful way. Orbit advertising, All Out/Mortein advertising </li></ul><ul><li>The side-by-side comparison – when you are able to make competitive claim about your brand’s performance. </li></ul><ul><li>The celebrity endorsement – when the values of your brand can be enhanced by those of a famous personality. AB everywhere from Cadbury’s to Navratan to Parker </li></ul>

64.
5.Clarify <ul><li>What sort of an idea is it? </li></ul><ul><li>Few examples </li></ul><ul><li>The testimonial of a loyal user – when the target audience can see that people like them use and benefit from the product. All Harpic advertising </li></ul><ul><li>• The problem solved – a problem/solution scenario in which the brand is the hero. </li></ul><ul><li>The slice of life – when you show the brand in the lives of its core consumers. Nescafe </li></ul><ul><li>Borrowed interest – when the idea springs from and refers back to a film or a TV series </li></ul>

65.
5.Clarify <ul><li>What sort of an execution is it ? </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Is it clever and original? Does it stand out from the competition and say what has to be said in a way that’s never been said before? </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Is it distinctive? Will it stand out in a cluttered media environment and make more of the media spend? </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Is it relevant? Does it connect on an emotional level with the brand and inspire positive feelings about it versus the competition? </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Is it credible? </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Is it campaignable? Can it be iterated through other media channels? </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Is it durable? Will it bear repeated viewing and continue to engage? </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Is the idea deliverable in terms of practicality and the budget? </li></ul></ul>

66.
5.Clarify <ul><li>How is the idea going to work? </li></ul><ul><li>There are many different models of how advertising and marcoms work, including: </li></ul><ul><ul><ul><li>• Sheer impact or ‘salience’ that creates fame and ‘talkability’ for the brand Eg zapak </li></ul></ul></ul><ul><ul><ul><li>• Deep involvement that engages customers in the brand at an emotional and psychological level. Eg : Surf Excel </li></ul></ul></ul><ul><ul><ul><li>• Persuasion – which imparts new and valuable information about the brand and builds up its functional and rational benefits. </li></ul></ul></ul><ul><ul><ul><li>• Price – which can have a significant influence on brand choice. </li></ul></ul></ul>

67.
6.Question Yourself <ul><li>your first reaction to the work will almost certainly be subjective. Establish what influences may be at work on your opinion before you start to concentrate on it objectively. </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Do ask yourself what influence the other people in the room may have on you </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Don’t use research to avoid having an opinion or making a decision </li></ul></ul>Client Speak: “A lot of the work I’ve been presented has surprised me, but the agency has a responsibility to anticipate and deal with that surprise.”

68.
7.Question the idea <ul><li>The clients who know how to use open questions are those who end up with great work, because they encourage ideas to develop. </li></ul><ul><li>Start with Who? What? Why? Where? How? When? They involve and stimulate. </li></ul>

69.
8.Reflection <ul><li>Listen to the agency, make notes, then go away and think. Reflection is when you ask the HOW questions. </li></ul><ul><li>How can we take the idea on? How can we adapt it? How can we make it better? </li></ul><ul><li>When you have thought about it, give your considered assessment – in writing </li></ul><ul><li>Your Feedback should be </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Honest </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Objective </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Detailed – against each of the objectives. </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Constructive – so everyone knows what to do next </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Marshalled by one decision maker </li></ul></ul>

70.
9. Refinement and the role of research <ul><li>These are the WHY questions. The first is, Why change anything? The less you do to a new and challenging idea, the more you might learn about it in research. </li></ul><ul><li>Research may not provide you with a list of specific adjustments you should make, but it will suggest whether refinement is needed. </li></ul>David Ogilvy, who observed how some clients use research “As a drunk uses a lamp-post. For support rather than for illumination”

71.
10. RELAX!

72.
If only the world was ideal!

73.
Peek-a-boo into the real world How do clients generally react to creative Do’s & Don'ts

75.
“Feature more than one product or benefit” <ul><li>The page they are buying seems roomy enough to throw in 5 or 6 more things besides your snappy little idea </li></ul><ul><li>But customers have specific need. They never go shopping for full lines of products. </li></ul>“ Bubbly, sugar-based liquids in a variety of vastly different tastes for all your thirst needs.” What if Coca-Cola did a full range communication for its 80 soft drink brands? You may attract some fringe audience, but at the risk of loosing the main audience he needs most

76.
“Negative headlines are wrong” It’s boring!! It leaves no question answered No Story No Drama No Interest!!

77.
“Our competitors could run that same ad!” <ul><li>“ But you said it first” </li></ul><ul><li>Sometimes the client’s product isn’t substantially different from the competition’s </li></ul><ul><li>In such cases the advertising distinguishes one from the other </li></ul><ul><li>The Concept, the Tone & the Look of the campaign; together makes the Brand Personality Unique </li></ul><ul><li>This personality in turn can be proprietary </li></ul>

78.
“Print our phone no. in big, bold type” <ul><li>A woman (man) at a bar, slides a folded matchbook across the mahogany and under your napkin. You open it and see a phone no. </li></ul><ul><li>Are you more likely to call if the no. is written in inch-thick numerals with a fat red crayon? </li></ul><ul><li>Yes, the phone no. should be there, probably last sentence or maybe by the logo. </li></ul><ul><li>If the reader wants your phone no. after seeing the ad, he’ll get it. Either from the ad, yellow pages or 22222222. </li></ul>

79.
“Why are you wasting 25 seconds of my TV spot entertaining them?” <ul><li>This is a client who mistakenly believes that people watch TV to see his commercial </li></ul><ul><li>There is a high wall around the customer. And every day a brick is added. </li></ul><ul><li>Present your product’s superiority in bullet points </li></ul><ul><li>They won’t listen to you </li></ul><ul><li>They won’t like you </li></ul><ul><li>They won’t welcome you </li></ul><ul><li>25 seconds of wasted time is your ticket through the gate in the wall </li></ul>

80.
Client takes your concept literally Client: “Our cheese doesn’t really stretch that far. And if it never breaks, doesn’t that mean its kind of rubbery?’ <ul><li>The bland message “Our pizza has more cheese” has to be dramatized </li></ul><ul><li>The rules of acceptable logic are different in TV Land and the viewer expects them to be or he might as well be watching news </li></ul>Little Caesar’s pizza ad

81.
“Can you make the logo bigger?” <ul><li>If an ad stops a reader and engages him with an offer that intrigues, what do you suppose the reader will look for next? </li></ul><ul><li>The reader has just seen something he wants. Where can he get it? </li></ul><ul><li>The Logo </li></ul><ul><li>Would a bigger logo be more relevant or persuasive to him? </li></ul><ul><li>A big logo shouts, “I’m an ad” </li></ul><ul><li>And an ad says, “Turn the page!” </li></ul><ul><li>Customers don’t buy company logos. They buy benefits. </li></ul>

The naukri.com story

128.
Pioneering e-recruitment in India <ul><li>First e-job site in India </li></ul><ul><li>Formed during the dot com boom and rode out the bust </li></ul><ul><li>Grew incrementally on entry level and junior recruitments </li></ul><ul><li>Had ambitions and marketing plans to move up the recruitment ladder to better organizations and middle/senior positions </li></ul>

129.
Reality bytes <ul><li>Reluctance of job seekers to use internet as a medium to seek jobs </li></ul><ul><li>naukri.com low on aspirational values and therefore considered only by the “average prospect and not the better qualified ones” </li></ul><ul><li>Competition was hotting up and becoming a very serious threat </li></ul>

130.
<ul><li>Monster.com </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Monster.com a widely recognized global brand with surplus cash reserves </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Already active with online advertising </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Image would appeal to informed job seeker </li></ul></ul><ul><li>Timesjobs.com </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Highly visible through the group publication </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Spend levels the highest in the category </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><ul><li>6 times that of naukri.com </li></ul></ul></ul>Situation aggravated with growing competition

131.
Leading to a vicious cycle of ‘not so hot’ resumes and jobs Lack of imagery and relevance Lack of quality job postings Lack of quality applications

132.
The marketing challenge therefore was… <ul><li>To break the vicious cycle </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Increase the traffic on to the site </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Attract better quality of resumes </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Increase the no. of job listings on the site </li></ul></ul>A relevant and leverageable consumer insight would be key to the effectiveness of the approach

THE CREATIVE

134.
What’s the insight?

135.
What’s the creative strategy?

136.
PEOPLE AND JOBS Some consumer work… <ul><li>People search and quit jobs for various reasons. Some among them are: </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Greener pastures : Higher Salaries/career growth </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Career shifts </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Better work environment </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>To re-locate to other cities </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>The “Wife belongs to Mumbai cannot stand Delhi” syndrome </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>etc. …etc… </li></ul></ul>

137.
<ul><li>“ Most of good quality people quit their jobs because they didn’t get along with their boss.” </li></ul><ul><ul><ul><li>Gallup Survey </li></ul></ul></ul><ul><li>On why people don’t get along with their bosses: </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Not likeable, unfair, irritable, incompetent </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>“ I know it all, you know nothing type”, etc..etc. </li></ul></ul>PROBING FURTHER…

138.
KEY INSIGHT People do not quit companies... They quit their bosses! The challenge was to creatively leverage this insight

139.
Exploring the insight <ul><li>The angst was universally relevant, though the degrees varied </li></ul><ul><li>Cut across levels in any organisation from the very junior to the very senior and from a large organisation to a small one </li></ul><ul><li>Positioning the brand as an enabler in getting rid of this angst was key </li></ul>

140.
Humor was used to get cut through and instant empathy To stimulate this suppressed angst towards bosses CREATIVE STRATEGY

141.
What communicatioin medium to use? <ul><li>Naukri had to reach out to people beyond the net </li></ul><ul><li>Monster and Timesjobs leveraging their clout across media </li></ul><ul><li>Naukri neither had the financial resources nor the advantage </li></ul><ul><ul><li>50 lacs was all that was available </li></ul></ul>

142.
TV IT WAS…. <ul><li>Reach was critical to get the traffic </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Our TA spent more time per day watching TV than reading the newspaper or surfing the net </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Image connotations could best be handled on the audio visual medium </li></ul></ul><ul><li>Matching Timesjobs print spends or Monster’s online spends was next to impossible </li></ul><ul><li>Sharp focusing to a well defined audience could enable us to use limited budgets effectively </li></ul>

143.
Intelligent use of TV <ul><li>Wanted to catch the TG fresh from “boss abuse” and therefore decided to reach out during evenings </li></ul><ul><li>Print therefore was out, TV was ideal but expensive </li></ul><ul><li>Our TA had a male skew </li></ul><ul><ul><ul><li>80% of the working population is male who are fairly regular news consumers </li></ul></ul></ul><ul><li>We also had to improve the quality of resumes (professionals, business managers, etc.) </li></ul><ul><ul><li>English news on TV was the chosen genre over the more popular Hindi </li></ul></ul>
