Creativity in communications (MC, unit 2)


Balances informational (product benefits) & emotional (brand associations): "Kills all known germs. Dead." raises seriousness & exploits perceived risk


Creative process asks:

  • what's advertising's role in this campaign
  • what expected to achieve
  • who's target audience
  • what single most important thing to convey
  • why do people want to buy it
  • what's the proposition
Marketing communications can develop key brand values in 2 ways:
1) Advertising route
- develops brand-related associations (tangible & intangible)
- messages can be emotional & rational
2) Naming route
- brand name linked to functionality
