If you work in Digital you really are an adman, not just a nerd that isn’t good enough for TV and Print.

Turning 40 does not mean you’re “out of touch” and
can’t possibly understand new media and new audiences.
It means you have invaluable insights
in the form of something called experience.

Clients should be considered and act as integral, contributing
team members all the way through.
Instead of decision makers to pitch ideas to
at scheduled milestones.

We shouldn’t give away the research, strategy,
and creative ideas.
We should be paid for our thinking;
not only media buys and execution of
“deliverables.”

People should be given time to think and become inspired before committing to an expensive and defining strategy.
Being able to move fast is good. Having time for thinking things through is much better.

insights gleaned from real data…
…instead of only gut and experience
in story-telling.

Why Creatives Ignore© Dimitri Androutsos
• Damn it, Jim, I’m an imagineer not a statistician!
• Not given enough time to do the assignment, let alone absorb so much input.
• Planners and analysts tend to read endless data points at the creative team.
• Past experiences deemed useless and a waste of time.

The Creative Process
• Internalize the creative problem, the client’s goals and who the audience is.
• Empathize with the target audience’s pain points.
• Imagine what that individual will positively respond to.
• Absorb the assignment’s USP vs. those of the competition.
• Think of creative ways to tell a story that are tone appropriate and on message.

How to Help Them Embrace it
• Paint the data as insights, then portray the insights as scenarios.
• Help them distill what’s important.
• Write up a list of bulleted findings, categorized by insight or touchpoint as a handy reference — never simply leave behind a binder full of facts
• Be sure to share campaign results during and post, if you want them to care about applying data findings. Have a conversation about them.
