• Brainstorming is method of thinking up solutions, ideas or new concepts.
• It can be a difficult process for many reasons: sometimes people are
unwilling to suggest a solution for fear of criticism or the problem may just
be a very difficult one, and one that no existing solutions exist for yet.
• getting every idea out of your head and then go back to examine them
afterwards.
• An idea that may have initially sounded off-the-wall may actually turn out to
be a plausible idea with a little modification.
• Osborn's technique of deferred judgment increases the individual's synthesis
capabilities by releasing the human mind from the analysis mode of thinking.
• Brainstorm means using the brain to storm a creative problem and to do so
"in commando fashion, each stormer audaciously attacking the same
objective."
• Creativity is encouraged by not allowing ideas to be evaluated or discussed
until everyone has run dry.
• Any and all ideas are considered legitimate and often the most far-fetched
are the most fertile.

Big Idea

• Big idea was so big it extended beyond advertising and took a life of it's own.
• Part of pop culture
• Holy grail
• Major selling idea of the ad campaign
• strongest singular thing you can say about your product or service.
• claim with the broadest and most meaningful appeal to your target audience.
• stands strong enough to remain the central issue in every ad and commercial
in the campaign.

The late David Ogilvy, generally considered one of the most creative
advertising copywriters ever to work in the business, has stated: “I doubt if
more than one campaign in a hundred contains a big idea. I am supposed
to be one of the more fertile inventors of big ideas, but in my long career as
a copywriter I have not had more than 20.”

• Innocence like approach
Kids Ads
• . Strong visual images and animation:
• Effective Theme for Children: To feel safe,
• Swift action and attractive child models: tempo music
• Child like Approach:
– There are two approaches a writer can adopt when writing for children.
– One way is to write about the thoughts, actions and feelings of a child.
– While this works sometimes, it often does not appeal to children as it sounds unrealistic,
overly sentimental and nostalgic.
– The second approach is spending time with children and listening closely to them can
also be of great help in understanding their view of the world.
• Themes for different age groups: A six or eight-year-old’s concerns are
different from say, a ten-year-old. For a younger age group, stories with
simple, positive themes, happy experiences with life’s lessons woven into
them unobtrusively, work well. Older children are ready to explore more
complex themes and darker experiences

Not to be reproduced without permission



Kids Ads
The story is the key element in any children’s copy:
• Location: Be it a haunted castle, a suburban school, outer space or a tribal
village, the setting of a story creates the mood for what’s to come. Done
well, it also serves to ‘hook’ the reader’s interest at the start.
• Children dislike long descriptions, so it’s necessary to swiftly sketch in your
background before your reader gets bored.
• Characters: The characters who inhabit the story are one of its most
important elements, more so than the physical background. Heroic,
conflicted, adventurous, or plain nasty, main characters need to be
sketched in with strong personality traits
• Language - contemporary expression.

NEW 'MARKETING ECOSYSTEM: Youth of all ages now find
themselves in what the Berkeley Media Studies Group and the
Center for Digital Democracy call "a new 'marketing
ecosystem' that encompasses cell phones, mobile music
devices, broadband video, instant messaging, video games
and virtual three-dimensional worlds," all of which provide
the knowledge and information that young people use to
navigate their place in families, schools and communities.
Thus the copy should be customized for these new marketing

Some Factors to keep in mind while
writing copy for women
• Headline versus Body Copy:
– Consistent with men’s inclination to simplify and strip away extraneous detail,
they believe in starting with the main point and supplying specific detail only if
the listener asks for it.
– Conversely, women will often start with a lengthy background and build up to
the summary conclusion – an approach consistent with their belief in context
and richness of detail. To women, the details are the good part
• “Report Talk” versus “Rapport Talk:”
– Sociolinguist Dr. Deborah Tannen characterizes men’s conversation as “report
talk,” whose role is to transmit information, solve problems, and establish or
defend individual status. S
– women’s conversation “rapport talk,” whose purpose is to transmit
information, solve problems, and create connections among individuals.
– For men – it’s facts and figures. For women – it’s stories and personal details

Not to be reproduced without permission


Some Factors to keep in mind while
writing copy for women
• Personalize the communications: Use anecdotes and personal
details to introduce a person or convey a situation or highlight
a set of values your female audience can identify with.
• Use everyday language; stay away from corporate-speak and
abstractions. Instead, use a lot of first-person and second-
person language.
• Focus on human benefits, not facts and features: Even the
most high-tech, rational product translates into human
situations with human benefits. Facts and features may be
important to the final sale, but that won’t be relevant to your
brand unless you capture a woman’s attention favorably first.
• Show some emotion
Not to be reproduced without permission
• BE SENSITIVE: The copy should be need to be
sensitive to them. Your services need to
reassure a woman that you will be around in a
predictable way when she needs help.

Factors to keep in mind while writing copy
for seniors or mature market
• The key elements are to keep message direct: The over-50s are
experienced consumers, so they don't want to read flowery language.
Don't think you need to use short, simple-minded, condensed-book-style
sales messages. On the contrary, older consumers are known to
appreciate story-telling, in-depth marketing messages over hard sell, fast-
sell messages.
• You also need to give them a lot of information: Older customers
generally like and can handle detail. Contrary to conventional wisdom,
their attention spans are longer and their focus more intent than with
younger people if they really want to learn a topic. Explain them in detail.
And tell why it is that they will benefit the older customer.
• Don’t mention their age: You may not need to mention age in your ads.
Instead, dwell on the positive aspects of their products and services. Don't
bring up your customer's age unless you have a good, positive, carefully
thought-out reason for doing so.

Writing copy for Executives
• Copy has to be relevant, engaging and impactful
• Getting Them Engaged
• Do your homework.
• Be ready with your short VP pitch. Copy writers should be
able to deliver the “elevator pitch”.
• Be able to deliver.
• Focus on the executive company need
• Make it easy for executive to contact you
• Testimonials from peers:
• Connecting to outcomes: The more tangible, measurable and
clearly defined your results, the more they resonate with the
senior executives
Not to be reproduced without permission
Press release
• Often success in PR terms comes from a well-
crafted, one-page press release.
• This press release should be a short fact-filled
document that tells editors the ‘who’, ‘what’,
‘where’, ‘when’, ‘how’, and sometimes ‘why’
of your story.
– a. Newsworthiness
– b. Reader relevance
– c. The organization’s credibility
