6 TIPS FOR MAKING
AN ADVERT IN 2014
George Tsakraklides, MM-Eye
2 2 (not all day)
My job involves
watching adverts
3 3
And using research to see how audiences engage with them
Yes
No
4 4
But I’m tired of seeing the
same car crash over and over
6 6
Don’t overload your advert
8 8
People will only remember
1-2 things from it anyway
9 9
So if you want them to remember the
things YOU want them to remember…
10 10
Then don’t give them much of a choice.
Just a damn good ONE
11 11
Don’t try Too Hard
12 12
People already know you’re
trying to sell them something
13 13
They also know you may try to tell
them you’re more amazing than
everyone else on the planet
14 14
When in reality you just
want to stand out
15 15
So don’t underestimate their
intelligence
16 16
Before After
With fake “real life”
scenarios
17 17
(They can smell this S**T
from miles away)
18 18
(you should see
some of the quotes
from our research)
And when they do…they get as
mad as a grounded teenager
19 19
Just Be Look Honest
20 20
Don’t think for a minute that you know them
21 21
And that you can bombard them with
naïve social stereotypes that you
thought applied to them
22 22
…or jokes that you
thought they liked
23 23
That’s when you’ve lost
them forever
24 24
You see…
25 25
The world
has moved
on
26 26
Be Original in every way
27 27
People are so overwhelmed today.
You only have them for a split second
28 28
If you’re lucky.
29 29
So throw out the old
recipe
30 30
And start thinking of what makes you
different from the millions of others
like you
31 31
The unique proposition of your product
32 32
Your philosophy about your industry
33 33
The culture of your employees
34 34
Your legacy and your history
35 35
Your vision for the future
36 36
Remember that people connect with “things” in the same way they connect
with other people: emotionally
38 38
So find your personality
39 39
And connect from your fuzzy side (okay don’t overdo it)
40 40
Remembering that what you offer must also have emotional value
41 41
Invest in some good quality advertising research
(if you really want to know what makes your audience tick - and how you can use this information to improve not only your advert but your entire brand strategy)
