1. The Explorer
Ideas do not come out of the blue. In order to build them you first need to gather the
raw materials: facts, concepts, experiences, knowledge, feelings — that’s what ideas are
made of. To get all of that, you need an attitude of ongoing curiosity and exploration.
The Explorer is always in search of new things. He is relentlessly curious and never
limits himself to a particular area of experience and knowledge. To have ideas is to
connect dots. First and foremost you need lots of dots to connect — you need fuel for
the formation of new ideas.
- Research from friends, family, competitors
- EX: Comedy serial talk about today’s happenings
- When we talk about around brand communication, important to know the
current happenings and current problems of brand and sell solution.
- We either look to solve customer problem or try and associate it with happiness,
fun, aspirational feelings.
- Aim is to communicate product as solution for consumer need
- EXPLORATION to find out customer’s need and what drives aspiration
How to Develop Your Explorer
2. The Artist
- Rule out ideas from brainstorming
- Integrate, garnish ideas
The artist has ideas. He takes the raw materials from the Explorer and combines them
in novel ways.
When people say someone’s “creative”, they’re usually referring to the Artist. The Artist
has ideas mostly by trying new things. He applies his imagination by rearranging,
turning things upside down, stirring things up. He pursues different approaches and
finds unexpected connections. He’s playful; he doesn’t care about what people expect
from him.
Flex your idea muscles. Write down new ideas as they come to you; it stimulates
your brain to generate more and more ideas. Also, use idea-generation tools
deliberately: Lists of 100, Idea Quota and SCAMPER just to name a few.
Play! We all know it: the most efficient way to have new ideas is by having fun.
Don’t always take problems too seriously. Entertain yourself and keep your brain
fresh and ready.
Use your imagination. Leave practicality aside; don’t be afraid to let your
imagination run wild and visualize new possibilities. Dare to ask ‘what if’ and
watch new realities unfold.
3. The Judge
The Judge is all about “getting real”. His job is to analyze the Artist’s wild ideas and
assess if they’re practical — in the real world.
The judge questions assumptions; he compares and analyzes. He checks how feasible
ideas are. No matter how much the Artist loves an idea, the Judge looks for
counterarguments, checks evidence, and makes hard decisions. Combining gut feeling
and analytical tools, the judge must only let through feasible ideas.
The Judge gets a bad reputation — but only because people usually invoke him too
early. Killing an idea before the Artist can play with it is a pity; killing it later is oftentimes
a necessity.
This is fine. The main thing is to be aware of which role you’re performing at
different points in time. We often get stuck in the Explorer role for too long. Or we
may jump the gun and summon our Judge while our Artist is still working his magic.
There are so many ways to spend too much or too little time in each role, or to overlap
ineffectively.
The lesson is: make sure not only to develop the skill set for each role, but also to play
each one at the appropriate time. Be aware of which phase of the creative process
you’re in and what you’re trying to accomplish. All roles are equally important: make
sure they’re playing well with each other.
This how we come with new ideas and integrate with new campaigns

MEDIA STRATEGY
- 5 M’s
- Known as 5m decision
- Market, money, media, methodology, mechanics
a. Market
- Target audience
- Which market to cover
- Exceeded market coverage: spill over coverage, target indian market but as Nepalese people see
it is also advertised here so clean feed
- Ex: 0 advertisements of cadburry, maggi but 0 advertisement, due to spillover effect. No money
for Nepalese media
b. Money
- Methods of advertising budget ( already done):
1. Top down
2. Bottom up
- CDI
1. Total category sales in the market: Shows attractiveness of category market
- BDI
1. % of total brand sales to total sales
2. Brand attractiveness
3. If both brand and category attractiveness are high, it is good to invest
- High CDI, High BDI= Star in BCG Market, in this case invest
- Low CDI, Low BDI= DOG , leave
- Low CDI, High BDI= Cash cow, don’t invest too much, harvest
- High CDI, Low BDI= Question mark, there is some problem, look at it
- CDI= Category attractiveness
- BDI= Brand attractiveness
MEDIA SELECTION
1. STEP 1- CHOOSE MEDIA
- Can use different media head
- Allocate budget effectively
- Ex: Invest 40% in mass, 30% In digital, others in direct mail and PR
2. STEP 2- MAKE SCHEDULE
3 METHODS:
1. Continuous- Same flow of advertisement for 12 months, same budget allocation. Ex: FMCG,
Rice
2. Flighting- Make advertisement in this month get this much GRP, take break completely. And
again in other months.
3. Pulsing- More advertisement in on season, less in off season. Set GRP targets. Ex: Baltra
heater, rain coat
STEP 4- Which media to select and what type of advertisement to keep
- Targeted magazines
- 1 month life
- Even for small advertiser
- Fastest growing
- Even for small
1. Through explorer, we found out that initially audiences were aware about the brand,
but due to increase in competition and lack of advertisement, awareness about the
brand among the target audience is decreasing.
2. As for the artist, we came up with many creative and wild ideas to solve this problem.
3. Talking about the judge, we cut down the ideas decided to go with the most feasible
one being, an online advertisement along with other promotional and advertising
activities
4. Finally for the warrior, the ideas will be implemented in platforms such as facebook,
tiktok, instagram and others which will be later explained.
- For the Medias we will use, we will be applying the form of continuous media meaning
advertisements will flow at similar rate throughout the year with changes to only the
advertisement message according to the season.
- The different forms of digital media we will be using are:
- Facebook/Instagram: Our social media will include such advertisements that would
thrive call for action from our customers. Moreover, we will be posting about new
designs and collections available at the store according to the season,
a. There will also be links to our online shop in our posts through
which customers can buy and view the products they see in
the pictures directly
b. Different video advertisements will also be showcased along
with story posts by influencers.
c. Moreover we would also handle customer grievances through our
facebook/instagram page.
- Youtube:
a. We will sponsor videos of content creators to create awareness and we will also ensure
partnership with vloggers and youtubers by giving promo codes to increase sales.
b. We will be creating a basemark youtube channel to place self-created advertisements
and also put videos of our locations and products
c. We will tie up with vloggers or channels such as Paradygm TV to conduct challenges
where we will present the celebrity participants with occasions and then they can go to
the basemark store, pick up their dress, bag and shoes collections of their choice for the
given occasion. The occasions could be graduation ceremony, day out with friends or a
also a workout session. The winners will get gift hampers from us.
d. We will also use vloggers to give dress reviews of base mark clothes.
- Tiktok:
- We will create short videos of people dressing up in basemark outfits with good
background music in an attempt to attract the audience through attractive cloth designs.
- We have also thought of a Tiktok competition where you will have to Twin
with your best friend and post the content in Tik Tok, we will announce a winner
who will get gift hampers from Basemark. In this way we can engage better with
our customers. So, this is a visual representation of twin with your bestfriend
challenge.
- So, we have created a content which could be used as a Tik Tok funny video post or
could be posted as a short youtube story video. We could hire infuencers to create such
funny contents in which basemark will not be directly marketed but will get the
unconscious attention. This is not our final advertisement but a supporting content.
MAGAZINE
- We will put weekly update on the magazines like Naari, WOW and Party Nepal which
are magazines preferred by our target audience.
- Our weekly update would include; different offers, information about new collection,
customer testimonial and review by vlogger or influencers.
EMAIL MARKETING
- Finally we will also have email marketing where we will directly inform our customers
about different discounts and offers, end of the season sales, new offerings and limited
stock releases.

These are slightly different from the text classified ads. As the name
suggests, they have an image that comes in the ad to makes it more
appealing. The chances of conversions with the help of classified display
ads are high, and the cost of buying a slot of a classified display ad is
still economical when compared to its ROI. These types of display ads
are usually taken up by small brands that want to showcase their
products and services in a presentable manner to the local audience. For
example, we at Creative Thinks Media would go for such ads as we are
an advertising agency and would love to leverage the power of display.
Now when you know about the types of ads, it is time to know about
the 10 Most Popular Newspapers in India. This list below will help you
in deciding which publication works best for you.
