Develop a creative brief for your IMC campaign (particularly, advertising) for the product/service. The brief should establish the goal of IMC efforts and offer some basic guidance to the creative division. Include each of the following elements in your creative brief, develop a big idea for advertising, and provide creative strategies and executions. First, write a creative brief. 1. What is the product/service? • Simple description or name of product/service. 2. Who/what is the competition? • Provide a snapshot of the situation, including current statistics about the product/service, challenges, competitive threats, and future goals. 3. Who are we talking to? • Clear definition of who the target is both demographically and psychographically. Be as specific as possible in defining the target so that the creative can connect target and product/service in the most compelling way. 4, What needs or problems do we address? • Describe the target audience’s unmet need that this product/service fills or how this product/service addresses a need in a way that’s unique. 5. What does the publics currently think about us? • Uncover target insights to get at attitudes and behaviors related to broader context. Determine whether insights currently exist or whether new research needs to be conducted. 6. What one thing do we want them to believe? • Be as single‐minded as possible. Write in benefit language.

It is one thing that is the key target audience takeaway from all research, discussion, and creativity that goes into your IMC campaign. The well‐conceived big idea, which is simple and is the result of an insight, should be expressed in a single sentence. You should logically explain how you have come up with the big idea based on your creative brief. Please note that the big idea is the main theme which leads to the creation of the tagline or slogan that should be told in the IMC campaign. C. explain objectives of your creative message strategy which may include the following: link key attribute(s) to the name; persuade the target audience; get the target audience to feel good about the product/service, and so. D. identify methods for achieving your creative message objectives like the following: repetition, slogans and Jingles, USP, reason‐why, hard‐sell, comparison, testimonials, demonstration, infomercials, feel‐good, humor, sexual‐appeal, fear appeal, anxiety or social anxiety, image, tie brand to social/cultural movement, slice‐of‐life, issue placement, and transformational ads. E. provide a few “rough” creative executions (e.g., print ad, TV commercial storyboard, radio ad script) based on the strategy. IMC Campaign Planning – Part 3 A. Based on the main theme, create taglines or slogans that could be told in each promotional tool as shown below. B. under the unifying big idea, bring all the different parts of an IMC plan together that can be used as a guide during the implementation of the plan.
