Our Offering
Our Creative Development Programs offer a suite of solutions to guide the creative development process – from developing the communications idea that brings brands to life, to optimising the executions our clients invest in.
Our solutions are underpinned by a common understanding of how advertising works. They have been developed to answer key business questions at each stage of the creative development process and are extensively validated to maximise both the short and long-term potential of advertising.
Our signature methodologies include:
IDeA | Our adaptable modular solution offers Inspiration, Development and Assessment to help you unlock thinking to identify big brand ideas that have the power to be used across channels, over time. Validation shows that ads developed based on brand positioning or campaign ideas we researched perform more strongly than those that were not.
Pre-LINK™ | Provides an early evaluative and diagnostic understanding to improve the likelihood of creative success. Pre-LINK™ determines if one or more creative directions deliver the desired message, are understood and clearly communicated, and will engage consumers with a strong creative idea. This qualitative technique uses the same metrics as Millward Brown’s LINK™ evaluative framework of engagement, brand association, and motivation that have been validated and refined over thousands of LINK™ copy-tests.
Life Streaming Ethnography | Real insights start with real people. Through true immersion observing, listening and collecting artefacts that give us clues about what is meaningful to people, we reveal human-centred perspectives, motivations and behaviours turning observation into insight.
Inspired NPD Workshops | Our Consumer Theatre Ideation and Workshop Sessions allow clients to connect and collaborate with consumers in fresh ways for brainstorming, prototyping and creative problem solving in order to illuminate and reimagine new product development opportunities.
TrendSight | An approach steeped in foresight leveraging our local and global knowledge network and insights to understand trends, anticipate value shifts and changing consumer needs to inspire fresh strategic perspectives, and help shape innovation, strategy and communications to help brands profit from change.
IdeaBlog | Our proprietary qualitative digital suite allows you to connect with consumers over a brief or extended period of time with the added benefit of opening the opportunity for a targeted or Australia wide conversation.
