Advertising Plannng School of the Week

My friend Jai & I participated in the new Advertising Planning School of the Week. It used to be led by Russell Davies but now Rob Campbell has taken over. His brief was delightful and made us participate for the first time in a planning exercise as creatives. We very much enjoyed it. The brief was:

HOW CAN YOU ENCOURAGE MEN TO BUY A HUMMER OVER OTHER 4×4 VEHICLES - DESPITE BEING BIGGER, MORE COSTLY AND MORE EXPENSIVE TO RUN THAN THE COMPETITIVE SET.

[The Brand Essence of Hummer [for this exercise] is TOUGHER THAN TOUGH


Thank you very much for the challenge – we are curious about the results. Here is our answer.

Hello there ... I am so glad you enjoyed the assignment and I am even happier that as creatives, you took it on.

I think [hope] you know I am passionately against this PLANNER vs CREATIVE attitude that seems to be rising up so want to say thank you for getting involved and hope to have feedback from all the judges in the next few weeks.

[And don't worry, I have creatives as judges too, ha!]
