Strategic thinking is central to creating a successful advertising campaign, yet it is rarely taught systematically. This book enables advertising creatives to formulate a clear brief and to think strategically.

Structured according to the 11 essential elements of a classic advertising brief, it offers a simple, clear, universal template against which the student or young creative can map his or her current project, and learn to understand the key elements that make up a strong brief. At the end of each chapter, the reader uses the knowledge they have just gained on a hypothetical project, so that by the end of the book, they have employed each of the 11 essential elements and formed their own creative brief.

Featuring international examples of current and classic campaigns, Strategic Thinking for Advertising Creatives is a primer in classic advertising techniques and shows how these core principles are being adapted online.

At first I was sceptical. I thought I wasted my money on a book that covers the creative brief and what it is. Now it does go threw the steps that we all know but it really goes deeper than that. It helps you understand what separates a good creative brief from a lousy one and gives examples. I definitely would recommend it to professionals and students.

Trying to explain strategy to budding creatives in no easy feat, there is a tendency for them to think 'what's this got to do with us?' Well the answer is everything. Advertising is nothing without a good insight as anyone who has worked in advertising will tell you. Each chapter tackles different aspects of strategy creation and backs it up by good examples. What's more it does it while demonstrating the various parts of an industry brief, a very different thing from a student brief. As a lecturer in Advertising and Branding I know I'll be recommending it to my students. I enjoyed reading it myself and found that it had covered a bunch of different theories without me really realising it - which really is the perfect way to be introduced to theory as it can be a bit dry in other text books. I was looking for a good book that covered strategy to put on the reading list and I think this is that book.
