Don’t evaluate. Add-valuate!
Overview
Assessing and coaching (to add value) agency creative is a must for everyone participating in the development of brand communications regardless of the sector or medium. If you don’t have a Big Campaign Idea then it is highly unlikely your advertising will be effective. Instead, it is highly likely that it will suck. This is true regardless if you are developing a DTC campaign, consumer communications, HCP advertising, viz-aids, etc. And, if you can’t assess communications then you certainly can’t coach to add-value to the creative.
You will also learn how to assess storyboards and print comps. This program will also strengthen individual coaching skills towards the goal of providing sound direction to agency creative personnel. This program may be further customized based on the needs of the organization to:
