Brand promise: Volvo = Safety

Audience:Affluent parents of young families

Use blendingas your primary concepting technique(see lecture 5 for more details.

As always, you can just sketch them or use design software, whichever you prefer.

If you want, use the physical structure of the billboard as part of the creative idea. (see examples in link below.)

Make sure they are on-strategy, original, unexpected and emotionally true.

Keep them SIMPLE!Billboards, by their nature, must be as simple as possible.

NOTE: Please follow the basic format of Corona’s existing campaign

Audience: Millennial and Gen X beer drinkers

Brand promise: Find your beach.

EMOTIONAL TRUTH: Drinking Corona is a relaxing escape from daily pressures.

Creative direction for all:

USe bending through the use of cultural or category tensions or painful honesty. OR,use blending (combining unrelated things in new ways). OR, a combination

Also, keep it SIMPLE!

Questions to ask yourself:

What things in the culture/modern life prevent you from relaxing and tuning out?
What tensions exist around the whole concept of “getting away”
What tensions exist around beer advertising in general?
What are some beach metaphors and/or metaphors of daily busy life that can be combined?
