Key Insights

This is a statement of the facts. What one powerful truth are we pinning the campaign on? What are the reasons to believe and buy?
Examples include:
Better for the environment. Beyond Meat create delicious, plant-based “meat” products that are better for us, our animal friends and the planet.
Better for humanity. For every pair of TOMS sold, they donate a pair of shoes to a child in need.
More battery life. Tesla’s Powerwall 2 has 30% more charge, powering your home for longer.
Democratising good design. IKEA brings Scandinavian luxury furniture to the masses with accessible assemble-at-home alternatives.
Cheaper. Poundland brings your favourite products from the US’s top brands for only $1 per item, saving you $5+ per basket.

STRATEGY & ACTION

The Strategic Big Picture

Zoom out for a moment. What is the background and context of the campaign?

Think about:
Product context i.e. attributes, price point, sales record, perceived quality
Cultural context i.e. current events and emerging trends
Market context i.e. competitive landscape, category perceptions
Brand context i.e. reputation, customer experience, values
Provide a short overview of this context to concentrate the mind of the creative team.
