How are you going to help make an advertising campaign get inside people’s heads if you struggle to write words that get into your colleagues’ heads?
 
Words are a strategist’s currency but too many strategies are written in spite of their audience, not for their audience.
  • The Four Points framework,
  • Ideas–linear and lateral thinking,
  • Insights–how to have and write them,
  • Strategy–how to write it, and
  • Why brands need you to use words better.

You’ll run through over 10 exercises and make your own Four Points for a brand.

From 1.30pm to 5.30pm on Wednesday, November 13, 2024, Mark, will get you hands-on with strategy. He’ll take you through the following:

How to work a problem into a creative brief,

How to write insights, and

How to write strategies that get into heads.
