Whirlpool of Ideas


WHAT ToPic To Pick FOR HONOURS?

When it comes to picking a single idea for myself. I find it comparable to picking a single grain of sand out of a bowl of salt.

I think I shall employ a technique I use a lot. Which I call the "Brainsplatter" throwing all my thoughts out across the table and then coming back to edit them.

IDEA 1: The Counter-Trend.
research on all the past & coming advertising trends, then do a project based on the direct opposite of those trends; then measure the response. Is it true that every Action has a reaction? If so, then a trend would evoke the rise of a opposite trend- a counter-trend?

IDEA 2: Advertising in WEB 3.0
The future of the internet will be more than interactive. It would practically run our lives for us. How can one advertise to increasingly selective target audiences, granted the power to choose their media? Will advertising become a form of money? Read an advert, earn an item? Will QR Codes be the new tattoos?
(Idea spin off - Ad in virtual reality)

IDEA 3: Ad Zen
will the best, be the one with less? Minimalistic art direction and messages may be the way to go in the future. The age of information overload has taken over. Will the world prefer bite-size ads?

IDEA 4: Dirty. Sexy. Advertising.
What will the future boundaries of advertising be? With the Gen Z desensitized to sex and scandals, how do we sensationalize our content? Do people want boundaries pushed?


hmm......

Selling "Toxic Masculinity" in Branding

With the way people are responding to the latest Gillette ad, anyone would think “toxic masculinity” was a new term coined to shame men.   Gillette isn’t the first men’s brand to redefine its image, a process that actually started months before  the world went crazy this week over the shaving company’s new ad . from news.com.au  - ( https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/beauty/for-men/why-mens-brands-tackling-toxic-masculinity-is-nothing-new/news-story/5ffadfa7859513b18883a2b09cc46f20 ) Coming from the perspective of Advertising & Branding, one of the basics in profiling your target market in a creative brief, is to define their demographic points to make assumptions.

How to write a Media Plan

Taken from Wikipedia Components of a media plan Define the marketing problem. Where is the business coming from and where is the potential for increased business? Does the ad need to reach everybody or only a select group of consumers? How often is the product used? How much product loyalty exists? Translate the marketing requirements into media objectives. Must the ad reach people in a wide area? Then mass media, like newspaper and radio, might work. If the target market is a select group in a defined geographic area, then direct mail could be best. Define a media solution by formulating media strategies. For example, the rule of thumb is that a print ad must run three times before it gets noticed. Radio advertising is most effective when run at certain times of the day or around certain programs, depending on what market is being reached. Advertising media includes Television ( TVC, television commercial) Radio Newspapers Magazines (consumer and trade) Outdoor bil...
