Great creative isn’t the be all and end all. But it’s a significant piece of the jigsaw. The quality of your creative is critical to the success of any campaign. So the reverse must equally be true; your creative will fall flat if it’s not delivered to the right prospect in the right, compelling ‘context’.
Industry wisdom is that audience targeting is responsible for 40 percent of your campaign’s success, your product is responsible for another 40 percent and the creative execution makes up the final 20 percent. The creative is what’s been described as “last mile between the advertiser and the customer” but the effects aren’t cumulative. When you combine good targeting with good creative, they multiply. As an agency, we encompass this with our philosophy: the idea is king and delivery rules.
That’s certainly true of the ANAR ad which was picked up by the world’s media and received incalculable extra coverage all over the world.
