‘All-in-90’ TRAINING : The Business of Ideas – The Creative Toolbox
Three connected 90-minute online workshops in Zoom, designed to give attendees a structured way of generating (and presenting) creative ideas. Webinars can be booked together as a series or separately..
At the heart of it is a tool I call The Hierarchy of Ideas. Essentially, this posits that there are actually three ideas in every piece of paid-for communication. The brand idea. The communications idea, aka the strategy. And the creative idea.
Working to a real brief for Brand X from a real client, the three sessions are about how to build a sequence of ideas in order to end up with a creative work with a point.
The hierarchy also provides the structure for the three sessions. We start with defining the brand idea, look at ways of generating breakthrough strategies and end up looking at creative execution.
Over the course of the workshops, the attendees will have many ideas! The brain is a muscle, they say, and it will get a darn good workout!
Second Session
The Creative ToolboxÂ
We start off by coming up with ideas for smash hit movies.
This prompts us to ask, how do ideas actually happen? Sometimes I get people to quack at this point!
Most of the session is given over to working with three or four tools in the ‘creative toolbox’.
Attendees will be asked to draw (again). They will consider the assumptions we make about brands and about the briefs we are given. They will look at McDonald’s as a template for disruptive strategies and they will discover why Brian Eno is probably the most successful music producer on the planet.
