...Creative Brief for Ford Motor Company Student’s Name University Affiliation Creative Brief for Ford Motor Company A creative brief for any company needs to be clear and complete in order to accomplish its purpose effectively. It gives the creative team direction while coming up with a marketing strategy. A well laid-down sample brief enables the team to come up with the best techniques that cover all the needs of the business owner. The creative brief for Ford’s company captures most of the necessary elements. It clearly states the product they want to advertise, which is the Ford Mustang. They also state their objective, which is to turn around the lagging sales. The objective is reasonable, although it is quite brief and general. This presents the risk that the advertising agency might not be able to capture Ford’s intentions adequately. They could have expounded on their ambitions more comprehensively, perhaps mentioning a certain percentage of sales increase they want to achieve within a particular period. The creative brief however gives adequate information both on the demographics and on the psychographics of the target population. This way, the advertising agency will know the exact channels to use in order to capture the right people. The message theme also perfectly brings out the key insight on the product. This will be of great help in designing specific content for the advertisement. Additionally, Ford Motor Company could have informed the advertising...

...What is a Creative Brief In its simplest term Creative Brief is the bridge between smart strategic thinking and great advertising (advertising that involves consumers on both – rational and emotional level, and which is capable of affecting a change in both their thoughts and behavior) and is the key tool with which planners and their account management partners can unlock the talents and imagination of their agency’s creative people. If the Creative Brief is informative, well argued and insightful, then their chances of creating better advertising are increased and the process of doing so is made considerably easier. Main task of Creative Brief is to inform the creative team, and most important to inspire them. To reduce all the information that has been gathered from the client, consumer research and perhaps many other sources and funnel it down to a single, potent idea and from that idea to create a sense of possibilities of great advertising just waiting to happen. So it is at the same time an exercise in synthesis and expansiveness. Please note that it is necessary for Creative Team to be active participant along with the Account Planner and Account Executive. Creative Teams contribution (thinking) at early stages will improve the quality of the brief and act as catalyst for the process of creative development itself. PLEASE NOTE: 1. Client should not participate in Creative Briefing 2. If it’s not relevant to consumers, it’s not relevant to the brief 3. The...

Account services: In this particular campaign the Agency appointed the account executive to liaise with the clients. The account executives need to be sufficiently aware of the client's needs and desires that can be instructed to the agency's personnel and should get approval from the clients on the agency's recommendations to the clients. The account manager will develop a creative brief, usually about a page that gives direction to the creative team. The creative brief often includes information about the target audience and their attitudes and behaviours. The creative team will take the brief and, aware of their parameters; develop original copy and graphics depending on media strategy. Media Services: In this particular campaign the media services department may not be so well known, but its employees are the people who have contacts with the suppliers of various creative media. For example, they advised upon and negotiate with printers because the agency is producing flyers for the client. However, when dealing with the major media (broadcast media, outdoor, and the press), this work is was outsourced to a media agency which advised on media planning and is normally large enough to negotiate prices down further than a single agency or client can.

...P5 - Design a promotional campaign for a given product/service to meet the needs of a given campaign/creative brief. In this assignment, I have a friend who is setting up a sandwich and snack bar to provide lunches for workers at a local industrial estate. To help him out I have agreed to design a promotional campaign. It is essential for this sandwich and snack bar to be located inside the local industrial estate. The sandwich/snack bar is aiming to provide lunch to the workers working at the industrial estate on a daily basis, which includes a seating area. To start of the new snack bar/sandwich bar, employees working at the snack bar would be handing out free samples of the fresh different flavoured sandwiches, Panini's, and samples of any other quick snacks. This will be done in order for the customers/consumers, specifically workers at the local industrial estate to experience the extravagant flavouring and taste, which will encourage them to come inside and buy more. The sandwich/snack bar will market the products sold at the sandwich/snack bar as healthy and nutritious as all the products which will be sold at the sandwich/snack bar would be made freshly and all ingredients and within comes with 100% fruit juice and a bag of either fruit or fruit salad. This will be a good idea, as nowadays many people seek to eat healthy therefore with the 100% fruit juice and the bag of fruit salad will encourage people to buy a quick tasty snack or a sandwich with their chosen flavours...

...Progress Report Group Name: EXCELF Before address our progress report, we want to discuss the reason why we had to withdraw our initial marketing project plan for Taobao. Here are 2 basic reasons: 1. Based on our survey and further research on Hong Kong people’s attitude towards online shopping, we found out that the traditional off-line shopping malls and supermarkets are still people’s first choice due to many deeply ingrained consumer habits and behaviors. Therefore, it will be super tough for us to further conduct our project. 2. After our meetings on October, we thought the concept of Taobao and online shopping had been very mature after the long-time development and their promotion. As a result, making Taobao more popular will not be interesting and creative since they’ve already had their complete and better marketing plan. And the reasons we switch our direction to a relatively smaller, fresher and more potential vibrator market can be seen in our Project Briefing.

...www.advantage.msn.co.uk MERCEDES CASE STUDY The unique features of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class present a classic marketing challenge for one of the world’s best known brands – how to get serious prospects into showrooms for a test drive. How did an on-line partnership with MSN Cars help solve the problem? THE MARKETING CHALLENGE: Think Mercedes-Benz – you already have a picture in your mind. The well-established Mercedes-Benz C-Class and EClass are familiar, recognisable faces in the prestige car market. But it is unlikely the car you are picturing is the MercedesBenz A-Class. With prices starting from £13,025 and seating for five adults, the A-Class is a clear alternative to the familiar family hatchback or compact people carrier. As Mercedes-Benz builds market share, the A-Class is playing a key role in changing perceptions of the brand. For the first time, many new car buyers are finding they can enjoy the MercedesBenz ownership experience with a car that suits their lifestyle and their budget. But the marketing challenge for Mercedes-Benz is to get potential customers into the car; to allow them to appreciate its unique features and driving experience. That means making them aware of the car, getting it on their shopping list and then getting them down to the dealership for a test drive. THE MARKETING SOLUTION: To crack the problem BJK&E Media, which handles the Daimler Chrysler account in the UK, launched a specific campaign with the principal aim to generate test-drives...
