PRESENTATION OUTLINE

CANNES DIGEST 2013

BY ZOLTÁN HAVASI, HEAD OF PLANNING, ISOBAR HUNGARY

THIS PRESENTATION IS NOT ABOUT ...

... THE AWARD SHOWS

... OR THE AD LEGENDS WE MET

... OR THE PARTIES WE WENT TO

BUT THE MASSIVE LEARNINGS

FROM 15 SEMINARS, 6 WORKSHOPS, 2 FORUMS AND 1 MASTERCLASSES

THIS IS WHAT WE LEARNT:

DEFINE A GREAT PROBLEM

THERE IS ALWAYS ONE BEHIND EVERY GREAT IDEA

MOONSHOT THINKING

AIM TO SOLVE A GREAT PROBLEM, EVEN IF THERE IS A SLIM CHANCE IT BEING FIXED

LOOK FOR THE PAINFUL MOMENTS

IN OUR DAILY SCHEDULE
Hyperislad's workshop provided inspiration on how to find great problems.
See the results here:

MEDIA IS WHERE PEOPLE AND IDEAS MEET

Untitled Slide

FIND A MEANINGFUL IDEA

THAT ENGAGES THE AUDIENCE AND IS RELEVANT FOR THE BRAND

IN THE PAST THE MESSAGE DEFINED THE IDEA

TODAY IT IS WHERE BRANDS' AND PEOPLE'S INTENTIONS MEET

MAKE WOMEN REALISE THEY'RE MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN THEY THINK THEY ARE

THE ORIGINAL BRIEF FOR DOVE SKETCHES WAS:

MAKE YOUNGSTERS TALK ABOUT RAIL SAFETY

THE ORIGINAL BRIEF OF DUMB WAYS TO DIE WAS:

WE'RE NOT MAKING IDEAS ANYMORE

BUT RATHER BUSINESS MODELS

UNLEASH YOUR CREATIVITY

YOU ARE NOT EXPLORING ANYTHING NEW

IF YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO END UP

CREATIVE ALCHEMY'S TOOLS

TO UNLOCK THE UNKNOWN PICK ONE OF
Kentaro Kimura (Co-CEO, Executive Creative, DirectorHakuhodo Kettle) pointed out that our conscious is like a city and our unconscious is like a forest.
Cities are mapped, known, safe while forests are unknown, dangerous, unpredictible.
Initially our mind was unconscious but over time our conscious took over.
Advertising is an activity to change unconscious desires to conscious ones through words and visuals.

CREATIVITY IS A BATTLE

BETWEEN HABITUAL AND EXPLORATIVE THINKING
Landor's work shop pointed to the same problem. We're trapped to our own perceptions. Our imagination starts as a perception: we see something we wanted to see. These perceptions are governed by our past experineces.

There are four ways to disrupt these perceptions:
- challenge conformity
- radical repurposing
- invite constraint
- disparate pairings

CREATIVITY COMES FROM PRESSURE

YOU MUST GET THE BRIEF PRECISE AND INSPIRING

TO TAP INTO AND GET THE MOST OF CROWDSOURCED AD CREATION

MAGIC IS SCIENCE DONE IN AN ENTERTAINING WAY

THE EYE SEES EVERYTHING

SO ONLY THE BRAIN CAN BE FOOLED

CREATIVES ARE FRUSTRATED

THEIR JOB ISN'T LIMITED TO MAKING THINGS LOOK NICER
Creative's muscles are at better use in innovation.

IDEAS ARE HARD TO SELL

IT'S EASIER TO BUY NUMBERS THAN IDEAS

YOU BETTER BUILD UP YOUR ARGUMENT BEFORE GETTING TO THE CREATIVE
Patrick Collister's (Editor,
Directory Magazine & Resource) work shop revealed the four points of conflict and how to handle them.

1) Left-Brain v Right Brain -- Some people are not wired to be able to make the connection

2) Abstract v Concrete -- Sometimes you can be too damn clever. Read the brief more closely.

3) The Wood v The Trees -- Meaning and expression. Present the idea rather than the execution.

4) Competing Objectives -- What you want to say and what your client wants to hear are not the same. Empathise. Say yes rather than no, but.

GOOD LISTENERS MAKE BETTER SPEAKERS

The workshop of http://swimprogram.ca/ was a weird but useful experiment. All we had to do is to listen in silence to our partner's story without even thinking about judging or reflecting to.

CLIENTS SHOULD FEAR MEDIOCRE IDEAS

THE ONES THAT HAVE NO EFFECT AT ALL

KEEP IT SIMPLE

WE DO STUFF AROUND STUFF

OR SOMETIMES WE DO OUR OWN STUFF
Andrew Deitchman's (Co-Founder, Partner, Mother NY) bold statement is out of doubt.

ASK NOT WHAT WILL CHANGE IN THE FUTURE

BUT WHAT WILL REMAIN

KEEP UP YOUR PASSION

NEVER FORGET WHY YOU CAME TO THE BUSINESS

WE SNACK CONTENT

THE PATTERNS MAY VARY ACROSS GENERATIONS BUT THE EMOTIONS ARE THE SAME

TALENT ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH

HAVE TO HAVE THE COURAGE TO FIGHT FOR YOUR WORK

FORGET BIG DATA

MEDIA IS WHERE PEOPLE AND IDEAS MEET

GIVE PERSONAL DATA MEANING

AND TURN THE QUANTIFIED SELF INTO QUALIFIED

HOPES, DREAMS AND INSPIRATION

THE SEARCHBOX IS WHERE PEOPLE PUT THEIR

WHY ASK IF YOU CAN MEASURE?

EKMAN'S ALL SIX BASIC EMOTIONS ARE TRACKED VIA REALEYES' AUTOMATED FACIAL CODING SYSTEM

LEARN TO READ DATA

AND TURN IT INTO STORIES
At 360i's work shop we turned data into stories using the seven story archetypes:

TECH IS NOT THE ANSWER

CREATIVITY IS A BATTLE

BETWEEN HABITUAL AND EXPLORATIVE THINKING

GOOD TECH IS NO EXCUSE FOR A BAD IDEA

THE RIGHT TECH IS THERE TO BRING THE RIGHT IDEA ALIVE

AND NOT VICE VERSA

CREATIVITY COMES FROM PRESSURE

YOU MUST GET THE BRIEF PRECISE AND INSPIRING

TO TAP INTO AND GET THE MOST OF CROWDSOURCED AD CREATION

EMOTIONS MAKE ENGAGEMENT

TECH IS THERE TO HELP

YOU NOT EXPLORING ANYTHING NEW

IF YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO END UP

NEW TECH NEEDS TIME TO EXPERIMENT TO BECOME ARTISTS' TOOL

WHEN THE CAMERA WAS INVENTED PAINTERS THREW THEIR BRUSHES AWAY

MAKE YOUR IDEA GO VIRAL

INSTINCT REACTIONS AND EXPECTED SOCIAL VALUE

ARE THE TWO KEY FACTORS THAT MAKES ANYONE SHARE
Psychological Responses: happiness, exhilaration, awe, warmth, hilarity, contempt, disgust, sadness, pain, pride, nostalgia, surprise, knowledge, shock, confusion, arousal, fear, anger.

Social Motivations:
shared passion -- opportunity to connect, social IRL -- help to socialize offline, social utility -- relevant or valuable to friends, social good -- for a good cause / want to help
zeigeist -- current trend or event, kudos -- demonstrate knowledge / authority; first to tell, attention seeking -- get a reaction; self expression -- says something about me
shared emotional experience -- strong emotional effect to be shared.

EMOTIONS AND ENGAGEMENT WILL RESULT IN IMPACT

GETTING PEOPLE TO WATCH A VIDEO IS ALL ABOUT DRAWING OUT EMOTIONS

GETTING THEM TO SHARE IT IS ABOUT THE SENDER'S PERSONALITY
