ED S L E T T E R編者的話


THE POWER OF GOOD IDEASWhen was the last time you saw a commercialthat really moved you? Diffi cult, right? Maybe it was during the Super Bowl earlier this year, or perhaps in the lead-up to the Winter Olympics?

I can almost guarantee it wasn’t while you were watching Journey to the West on TVB.

The number of bad commercials we see on screens in Hong Kong is alarming. If I hear another jingle performed by a “rapper”, I may very well throw my TV off the balcony.

I’m the fi rst to admit creativity is a subjective topic and what I like personally may very well be considered awful to someone else. But hell, I’ve got reasonable taste and writing about the creative industry for an extended period gives you more exposure to the world of commercial art than your average person.

Good ideas have power. They move people, and inspire them to share and watch over and over again. So why then do we see so few?

Time is probably a major factor. Hong Kong is a rushed city and we’ll sacrifi ce the time it takes to get something right, just for the sake of getting it done.

A lack of metrics supporting this theory that ideas get results? This, I believe is changing and some in the industry are moving towards a proven business argument for bold creative moves.

Cost is perhaps a big factor – but really, what’s the price of brainstorming a great idea?

It’s hard to underestimate the power of creativity today, even though a fair chunk of the industry seems to do exactly that.

In this issue we have collected a diverse set of ideas to hopefully help you towards a more creative path. I hope you like it.

上一次看到一個感動你的廣告是何時﹖很難答，對不對﹖或許是今年較早前超級碗期間，又或者是冬奧前夕﹖

我肯定絕對不是在收看無線《西遊記》的時候。

在香港電視上看到的劣質廣告數目驚人，如果我再聽到一個由「說唱歌手」唱出台詞的廣告，我很可能會把電視從露台丟出去。

我首先承認創意是很主觀的，我個人喜歡的，其他人可能不屑一顧。然而，我有一定的品味，而且撰寫有關創意行業的文章已有一段頗長的時間，比一般人接觸廣告藝術世界的機會要多得多。

好創意擁有力量，能夠打動大眾，鼓勵他們去分享以及一而再地觀看。那麼為什麼我們看到的好廣告這麼少﹖

時間可能是一個主要因素，香港是一個繁忙的城市，我們犧牲把事情做好的時間，只為了趕快完成工作。

沒有衡量標準證明好創意可帶來好結果這個理論﹖我認為這一點正在改變，而且一些業內人士正逐漸傾向支持大膽創意的商業論證。

成本或者是一個大問題，但是，構思一個出色主意的成本是多少﹖

今時今日不能再低估創意的力量，即使行業巨頭也是一樣。

今期我們收集各方面的想法，希望幫助你走向更創新之路。請細閱。
