Creating the "Boom" Factor

“Creating the Boom Factor”

It is actually a step-by-step
process that can be learned
and used to generate original
ideas.


Good creative work makes advertising more vivid,
which in turn attracts attention, maintains interest,
and stimulates consumers’ thinking.
Therefore messages must be:
 Better planned
 Imaginative
 Entertaining
 Rewarding
Companies identify their “target market” and an
objective for their campaign.
 Then…in comes the message strategy statement,
which tend to be plain, straightforward outlines of
benefits and positioning points that the advertiser
wants to stress.

 From there, the advertiser must develop a compelling creative
concept- or “BIG Idea”- one that will bring the message
strategy to life in a memorable way.
So How is it All Done?
MESSAGE STRATEGY:

7-Up is not a cola.
A BMW is a wellengineered car.
We (Avis) don’t rent as

to do more for our
customers.

“The Uncola”
“The Ultimate Driving
Machine”
“We’re number two, so
we try harder.”

With a partner, you will be given a top company’s
message strategy.
From that message strategy, you MUST brainstorm and
write down at least 10 “Big Idea’s”.
Now, each group MUST read through the “Big Idea’s” and
pick your top 3 favorite ideas.
Look over the 3 chosen and pick the 1 “Big Idea” you feel
best represents the brand and their original message
strategy.
Design an advertisement representing your company’s
new “Big Idea”.
