Event Details
That’s the question all good consultants ask their clients because it takes a clear, powerful Big Idea to create effective advertising and marcom. Anything less, and clients risk wasting time, money and brand equity with confusing scattergun communications.
Vince Vassolo has been creating Big Ideas for a wide variety of clients for over 40 years, both as an ad agency Creative Director and corporate MarCom Director. He knows that effective branding starts with creating a Big Idea that customers can quickly and easily wrap their minds around and act on. That’s why he created the Big Idea Blueprint decades ago.
Tonight’s assignment will be to create a Big Idea for a brand that’s in Big Trouble. No, not Tiger, but Toyota. We’ll do an actual Big Idea Blueprint to come up with a credible, creative theme that can be used as the basis for the company’s advertising and marcom. One that will help this once stellar brand win back customers.
So bring your creativity and be prepared to participate, because the best way to learn how to brainstorm and create Big Ideas is to actually do it using a tool like Vim, Vigor & Vassolo’s “Big Idea Blueprint”.
Big Ideas are almost always expressed as a theme of no more than a dozen words, rather than lots of marketing platform statements. After we’re done with the exercise, if time permits, we can talk about some of your Big Ideas, so bring some of your own examples.
