Reflection:
Zoom briefing.
Everything was very clear and precise. Derek explained all aspects of the term very clearly.
I am happy with the team I have been put in, I work well with Sid creatively and look forward to producing work with him for this brief.
Tim Miller Briefing
I found this session very helpful. Brian interrogated the brief very well and showed his experience with breaking down a brief and asking tough questions to a client. This session gave me a really good insight into how a client would view his brief. I feel the brief is very personal to Tim, especially when talking about the personal reason that pushed him to starting this project.
I learned a lot in terms of brief specifics. I feel the questions of comparing his product to a shop or a car spoke a lot about what Tim was looking for. He wants the product to not be too flashy, but to look nice but have a very solid foundation and thought process through the design and campaign.
I learnt that Tim is looking for a campaign idea that works across several identified media channels.
Tim wants the app to be website driven, not going through the app stores.
He emphasised multiple times about the 3 messages he wants to implement into the product, which are:
Coaching your children
Connecting with your children
Becoming fit and healthy
Target audience is Mums with primary school children. why?
The app is aimed at primary school children 4 - 11 years old.
Family context, how will it benefit the Mums.
Getting kids out the house approach.
He wants the tone of voice to be light-hearted but affirmative.
Look at the stories that people want to hear.
Stories that will engage the target audience.
The back story is enabling the hierarchy of messaging
Brian Pulling the Brief Apart.
Brian discussed some very good skills that I have not used before.
I think focusing on our personal objective is a really good way to get as much out of the unit as possible.
I feel the tactic of pulling the brief apart is a really interesting way to tackle a brief. I have learned how to look and read a brief in a formative way that will be most beneficial. I now understand how a professional will look at and read a brief in more depth.
Pull the brief apart.
What is right?
What is Wrong?
What is terrific?
What needs improving? And why?
Love?
Hate?
Think beyond initial Ideas.
Questioning the competition.
I found Brian's approach to competition to be very insightful. Rather than looking at brands looking at every day struggles/ problems to solve within the competition struck a cord with me. I think this approach of problem solving could be a very good way to tackle the brief.
Solve this BUSINESS problem.
Problem solving includes.
Awareness, positioning and selling.
The why. The Who. The What.
This is a very good way of identifying what is important in a brief.
A commercial reason (Brand and product). The why
Target audience. The Who
Deliverables. Requirement. The What
The why is the most important.
Overall today's session was extremely insightful.
So... What do i want from this project?
I want to further establish the role I would like to take within this industry.
To produce some strong live project work for my portfolio.
To help improve my time management and organisation.
To improve my client-worker relationship.
To improve skills on how to approach a live brief.
How did this relate to professional practice?
This related to professional practice by working with Brian as a client handler. We watched him first hand discuss and interrogate the brief with a client to understand what he really wants. Brian gave the client confidence in his decision for hiring him to tackle the brief and asked the client the difficult questions that was needed.
Next step.

We discussed the brief in full depth, what we hate and what we love.
We were both on the same page with the brief and come to the conclusion that the brief is crying out for social media branding and a social media campaign that can most likely work across platforms.
We discussed the who, the what and the why.
A commercial reason (Brand and product). The why
There is a hole in the market with education and parent-children bonding through fun.
Target audience. The Who
The target audience is primarily mums with young children.

Research Competitors
Reflection:
Discussing the brief with Sid was good, i felt happy with Sid's thoughts on the brief, we are in a similar state of mind when it comes to tackling the brief. We believe the most important side of the brief is the bonding experience with the mum and child.
In the professional industry this would be a very important discussion upon starting a project with a team to make sure we both fully understand the brief and where we want to focus.

Positive FFC Research:
Our story began with a single, simple goal; Create a way for children to be taught the beautiful game by their parents, grandparents, big brothers and sisters, cousins or carers enabling everyone to come together, get active, and use football in a meaningful, fun way to help embrace the many dimensions of child development.
Matt Jarvis our Football Technical Director brings his vast experience as a player with West Ham United and Norwich City to that of our experienced coaching team.
Matt also received an England call up in 2011 and has young children of his own. The Family Football Coach (FFC) programme was designed to help anyone with the app on their phone to teach children all the necessary skills to become better and more skilful players without having to know or have any footballing skills themselves. So, whether it’s tackling skills, possession skills or shooting drills, we provide everything you need to know to guide children through the programme. No matter whether it’s a boy or girl, complete beginner or a seasoned pro, our programme will improve football skills and help children develop both physically and mentally. FFC is aligned to the Government’s National PE Curriculum Key Stage learning 1 and 2, supporting a child’s progress naturally towards their full potential. As part of our philosophy we also focus on diet and health for primary school aged children. We’ll have regular features and tips to help guide you and we’ll share stories from our Football families. To join, click on the link below and welcome to our Football Family.
Competitors:
Not only does their content-filled site provide Kraft recipes, it also includes recipes that are easy for kids, holiday recipe ideas, how to stay healthy, how to save money on meals, and more. They even provide videos for several of their recipes, setting them apart from the myriad of other recipe sites out there. Their recipe exchange message board is also a great way to keep moms involved and engaged with their content.
Hoops:
Hoops is a company that compiles activities for young kids aiming at 3-12 years old. They collate activities, arts and crafts etc in to one space.
Penguin Kids Activity Packs:
Book publisher Penguin shares stacks of fun games and activities you can do at home. From how to make an astronaut helmet for your teddy bear to Diary of a Wimpy Kid activity packs, there’s stacks of ideas to download on this helpful website.
Target Audience:
The specific findings i have found about mums that interest me are mums say the best fun they have is with their kids.
In households with parents who are either married or living with a partner the mother manages majority of the children's activities,
but only plays or does the activities with the children alone 27% of the time.
Zoom Meeting with Sid
Minutes:
Making it about the community.
We discussed competitors.
We really like Kraft's Tone of Voice.
We discussed what we love and hate about Kraft.
Love?
I love that they are only focused on being community and family orientated.
I love that they use families playing games in their commercials to create an incentive for people to share and have family time. They call them "Big game commercials".
I love the tone of voice of "no one lies like your parent" "don't touch the China cabinet, it's full of spiders". My mum used to say to me, "I'll put you in the bin and feed you to the lions".
Hate?
I hate that their social media is only high quality photography and cute pictures.
I hate that it is not that evident what they do and how to get involved.

FFC task 1 Brief:
A social media campaign for FFC that engages mums of children (age 4-11) Kraft:
Not only does their content-filled site provide Kraft recipes, it also includes recipes that are easy for kids, holiday recipe ideas, how to stay healthy, how to save money on meals, and more. Love? focused on being community and family orientated. Use of families playing games in their commercials to create an incentive for people to share and have family time. They call them "Big game commercials". TOV of "no one lies like your parent" "don't touch the China cabinet, it's full of spiders".

Feedback from Brian
Kraft is an interesting business, it is hard to get into a parents store cupboard.
He likes our one liner we chose from the brief. But might be worth saying "getting children out of the house and away from screens".
The people that make this stuff, task what they want to use it for, as soon as you let it go it has a life of its own.

Research
The five myths of marketing to mothers.
1. Motherhood does not define a person.
Mothers today want to be recognised by much more than their children and parenting roles - motherhood is not all-consuming for women and is not the only thing that defines them.
John Lewis 2010 Ad campaign by Fyfe Dangerfield 'She's Always A Woman' is a perfect example of this. They are selling a commitment.
Most women are defined by their skills, abilities and passions before they consider having children.
2. Mothers are not desperately seeking perfection.
75% of mothers believe a perfect mum does not exist and it is not an aspiration of theirs. They are not perfect and they are not trying to be.
Persil's 'Dirt is good' campaign encourages children to get outdoors and enjoy life. 'For whatever life throws' is a strap line in the campaign focused on mums not being perfect and persil is there to take some stress away.
This advert is more realistic and fun.
3. Mothers are not prudes.
Only 23 percent of mothers agree they should not talk about certain subjects,such as sex.
Old Spice made a Mum Song going against the fact that mums are not into edgy humour, using the anxiety mothers have about their sons being 'taken way', falling for women and leaving them as mums, but does so with humour and self-deprecation.
Fiat launched a video featuring a mum rapping about the trials of motherhood, using edgy language with was based from the reality of being mothers.
4. Motherhood is not a drudgery
60 percent of mums say that their kids are more fun to spend time with than most of the adults they know.
Mums are twice as likely to visit photo-sharing sites such as pinterest and instagram and to share the fun they are having with their families.
5. Don't forget the fathers
The suggestion that dads are sideshows in the parenting department is a faux pas. 60 percent of woman say their partners is just as involved in parenting as they are.
Bird's Eye made an ad called 'Presenting Comedy Dad', which focused on neither mothers or fathers but shows the family unit at dinnertime and the conversations they have.
Millennial mum the youngest group making up 57 percent of new mothers spend an average of 8.1 hours daily looking at difference types of media.
77 percent to look up recipes, 50 percent to manage finances, 63 percent to search for parenting advice.
Organisation.
Mums discuss with other mums about parenting more than anything else.
Insights and Ideas
Insight 1:
Parents want their kids to be confident.
Idea:
Building confidence by rewarding the child for reaching obtainable goals
Examples of 'gamification' achievements in apps
Fitocracy – Gamification for Health & Fitness
Let’s be honest, we all need a little motivation to get out of a warm bed and show up at the gym every morning. Fitocracy is a fitness app that uses gamification to motivate users to achieve their fitness goals.
It accesses user health data to create customized workouts and nutrition plans, then rewards users with points and badges for meeting achievements. It also pits users against other fitness enthusiasts to keep them motivated and slay the laziness dragon.
Takeaway: Consider every level of user ability. By starting with simple goals, Fitocracy keeps badges and achievements within reach for users of all fitness levels. And by rewarding users each time they unlock an achievement or win a badge, their progress becomes visible. In-app quests and competitions with friends are another great way to gain new users and keep them engaged.
A social media campaign to share the achievements that mums have received ie "2 hours bonding badge".
Social media is a way parents can visually demonstrate their parenting demands. Mothers are most likely to use the word proud when posting in relation to specific achievements such as competitions or passing exams.
Insight 2:
Mums relate to other mums.
Idea:
Use language that mums use.
"Only you will know you are winging it."
"The easiest handover you will ever do."
"Stop your kid from getting square eyes".
Insight 3:
kids learn more when they are having fun.
Idea:
To campaign fun over learning.
It's so much fun, your'e kid won't even know they are learning.
Insight 4:
60 percent of mums say that their kids are more fun to spend time with than most of the adults they know.
Idea:
Is to promote a messy mums are more fun campaign.
"Become the fun parent". Business at the front party out the back.
Insight 5:
Mums want to feel appreciated
Idea:
Mums like to show off their kids. So how about kids showing off their mums?
A campaign of kids talking about how cool their mums are for teaching them football skills.
"My mums cooler than your'e mum! She taught me how to volley".
Reflections in kids drawings.
Insight 6:
Majority of mental health problems are linked to emotional development from a young age
Idea:
FFC is a way to bond and help your child with emotional development, by gaining their confidence and getting them prepared for social situations entering secondary school.
Children with a disorder were less likely to participate in school-based or other external clubs (e.g. after school clubs, sports, arts, music or drama clubs) and were more likely to report low levels of social support, and smaller social networks.
Mental health disorders can occur from early childhood, and that their prevalence increases with age, particularly for young women. This highlights the importance of intervening early to prevent the development of mental health problems. The factors associated with mental health disorders in these statistics point toward environmental and social influences that can act as important risk and protective factors for young people’s mental health. Capitalising on opportunities to provide children with supportive environments early may be key for ensuring good mental health for all children and young people.
Insight 7:
Women's groups advocate for women's empowerment from a prescribed angle.
Idea:
Empower the mum from a realistic point of view.
"This app will not make you a professional football coach, or make your kid the next David Beckham. This app will make you the best mum ever!"
&Walsh’s Supershe identity takes inspiration from women’s empowerment throughout history
Jessica Walsh tells It’s Nice That about her agency’s latest project, which loudly defies the pastel-dominated world of female-targeted brands.
Walsh tells us. “Success is often defined by being a girl boss, maximising productivity and learning how to have it all. Self-care is often defined with face masks, yoga retreats and wine. While this is what success and self-care looks like to some women, it is not what it looks like for everyone. The mission is to bring women together to help one another gain confidence in our own paths in life.” Through the early research phase, Walsh and her team found many visual identities in this sphere used pastel colours, so looked to go the opposite direction with a colour palette of red, black and white.
“united in their visual language… an illustration style unique to SuperShe”. The results are a huge resource of hundreds of illustrations and icons for the brand to deploy at their will.
One of the places they really come to life for Walsh is the merch. “The illustrations allowed us to make unique personalisations to embody different personalities or interests. With the merch, we loved playing with the duality concept, the idea that we are all multidimensional. From the copy to the types of merch, this was such an exciting way to express the brand’s overarching strategy.”

Why did David Ogilvy say "The essence of strategy is sacrifice".
by Dave Trott
In World War Two, the main British bomber was the Lancaster.
It had a crew of seven: pilot, flight engineer, navigator, bomb aimer, wireless operator, mid-upper gunner, tail gunner.
It had an average speed of around 245 mph.
It had four twelve-cylinder Rolls Royce Merlin engines.
It carried an average 4,000lb bomb load.
And it weighed a massive sixteen tons when empty.
It was a slow moving, heavy bomber.
Slow moving because of the weight and the need for so much defensive armour.
The thinking was that that the more defensive armour they put on the bomber, the better the chance it would survive an attack.
So the Lancaster had eight machine guns manned by three gunners.
The Americans took this view even further.
Their main bomber was the B17 ‘Flying Fortress’.
It had a crew of ten: pilot, co-pilot, bombardier, navigator, radio operator, top turret gunner, ball turret gunner, left-waist gunner, right-waist gunner, tail gunner.
It had 13 machine guns, and it also weighed a massive 16 tons.
The British and American theory was, the more guns a bomber had the more chance of survival it had.
But Geoffrey de Havilland had a different idea.
You needed a lot of guns for when the enemy attacked you, but what if the enemy couldn’t catch you?
What if the bomber was too fast for German fighter planes?
Everyone thought it was ridiculous idea of course.
German fighters were over 100mph faster than any allied bomber.
This was Geoffrey de Havilland’s moment of creative genius.
If he got rid of everything that made a bomber capable of defending itself, he could make it extremely light.
So light it wouldn’t need to defend itself.
So, instead of adding more and more things to defend it, he stripped more and more things away.
And he designed the de Havilland Mosquito.
Unlike the heavy metal bombers it was made completely of wood.
It had two engines instead of four because it was half the size.
He got rid of all the guns, so he didn’t need any gunners.
The Mosquito could carry a 4,000lb bomb load like the bigger bombers.
But it only needed a crew of two.
Geoffrey de Havilland kept taking more and more things away.
Until the Mosquito weighed just 7 tons.
Nearly ten tons lighter, less than half the weight, of the bigger bombers.
So it could fly at nearly 400 mph like a fighter, faster than a Spitfire.
German fighters couldn’t catch it.
British bomber crews loved it because their survival rate was many times greater than in the bigger slower-moving bombers.
All because Geoffrey de Havilland realised the power of strategy.
Strategy is not about adding more and more stuff.
Strategy is about taking stuff away.
Taking away everything, until there’s only one thing left.
One single powerful thought.
One thought that’s leaner and more efficient than the competition.
That’s what strategy should be.
That's why David Ogilvy said "The essence of strategy is sacrifice".
Ferrari vs Lotus
Founded in 1947 by Enzo Ferrari, the company first made its name in the premier category of racing: Formula One.
In the first decade of the sport from 1950-1960, a Ferrari won four world championships, more than any other team.
Enzo believed the key to their success was having the strongest engines.
“I don't sell cars; I sell engines. The cars I throw in for free since something has to hold the engines in,” he once famously said.
A small British company called Lotus had identified an opportunity.
Instead of focusing on building the most powerful engines, they turned their attention to making the car as light as possible.
Less weight meant a more nimble car requiring a smaller, lighter engine and brakes. Which meant a faster car overall.
Between 1963-1973, Lotus won five world championships to Ferrari’s single win.
As the brilliant ad man David Ogilvy once said “strategy is sacrifice.”
Have a simple strategy, be clear on what it is, and make sure everything you are doing conforms to this strategy.
It is better to do three things well than thirty things half-assed.
One Apple executive who worked closely with Jobs at the time reported that “Over and over Steve talks about the power of picking the things you don’t do.” Jobs’ own observation was that “The way we’ve succeeded is by choosing which horses to ride very carefully.”
Strategy and Tactics
Decisions, Not Plans
Even if you have a “strategic plan,” you may not have a strategy. Creating a comprehensive 30-slide “plan” is comparably easy when contrasted with the critical thinking needed to craft a bonafide strategy. A plan can be (and usually is) fairly long, whereas a good strategy is short. The essence of your business strategy should fit on one sheet of paper, as follows:
1. SETTING: What are the main dynamics of the current environment in which our firm competes (considering both direct and indirect forms of competition)?
2. CONSTRAINTS: In creating a unique story about our firm, what are the primary challenges or obstacles we must overcome?
3. OUTCOMES: What outcomes or results are we trying to produce with our strategy?
4. STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK: What is the specific position we’re attempting to occupy in the marketplace? Describe this strategy as:
“For (Who), we (What) by (How) because (Why).”
Who = The specific type of client we are targeting (inspired by industry categories, market segments, types of audiences, etc.)
What = The unique solutions or benefits we provide to these clients
How = The distinctive way in which we deliver the above (inspired by philosophies, approaches, methods, etc.)
Why = The underlying motivation for what we do; our purpose as a business
For the motherhood community, we get kids off their screens to spend quality time by creating an app that helps parents assist in coaching their kids to play football because we believe it is important to get children out of the house and into the great outdoors to learn new skills, get fit and have fun with their families.
Strategy Is Deciding What Not to Do by Tim Williams
The terms strategy and tactics might seem interchangeable, but they refer to distinct elements of an advertising campaign. A strategy is a campaign’s overarching plan, and the tactics are the specific means advertisers employ to meet the campaign's goal. To accomplish a strategic objective efficiently, advertisers must use a set of tactics suited to the task.
Strategy
A strategy is a conceptual approach aimed at a particular objective. For example, a business’ objective might be to achieve a competitive advantage by positioning itself as the provider of the highest-quality version of a product, the lowest prices, the best customer service or the most versatile product. Its strategy might be to focus its advertising resources on reaching consumers most likely to use its product rather than pointlessly marketing to uninterested people.
Tactics Tactics are the marketing techniques used to accomplish the strategic objective. Targeting a specific demographic, for example, is an effective way to increase your customer base. If your market research reveals your target demographic typically enjoys a particular radio or television program, you can design commercials that relay your message to these potential customers
“Your role is to sell, don’t let anything distract you from the sole purpose of advertising.”

Post to padlet:
Strategy refers to the plan to achieve a goal while the tactic is how you execute the plan.
Zalando
Strategy: To change the way fashion and advertising restricts people.
Tactics: Tackle diversity and freedom, by saying goodbye to outdated stereotypes.
Celebrate 'Zerotypes’ – a belief that people should be free to be as they are with no types, expectations or limits to define them via a film that is the focal point of the campaign. Featuring men in dresses and pink, as well as older women in neons and club kid-outfits. Broadcasting on TV, social media and further translated into print, outdoor advertising and Zalando-owned channels.
"Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat." - Sun Tzu
"Strategy is how we play and how we win in the market. Tactics are how we then deliver on the strategy and execute for success." - Mark Ritson on Marketing Week.
Reflection
David Ogilvy the essence of strategy is sacrifice is a method used in the professional industry to achieve a strategy and tactic. Understanding this methodology is very important in a brief live project. The reason Brian made us look this up is to understand what the client wants, the client was in favour 40 - 60 of tactical marketing.
Date:
27th April 2020
Tasks:
Discuss with Sid how we will present our ideas.
Present ideas to Brian, Zach and Larry at 10.40am
Me and Sid discussed for 20 minutes on how we will present our ideas.
Tissue Meeting with Brian at 10.40am
Me and Sid presented our ideas, i feel it went well and we did a good job of explaining our ideas and insights.
Brian asked us which idea was more strategical and which was more tactical.
We said Idea 1 was more strategical "Make mums the hero".
And idea 3 was more tactical in terms of platform to promote weekly challenges.
Feedback
Route 1 was the strongest idea and received the best feedback.
To look at "kids think their mum is a hero without saying it".
To develop the tactical idea of hashtag challenges.
Meeting with Sid
We discussed feedback and decided to develop visual and combine our strategical with our Tactical idea.
Strategy:
Mums want to be appreciated by their kids
Tactic:
They post about their children and them, cause that’s what they do anyway, this allows them an asset to attach to create a community.
#FFCFunMum community based hashtag to share show off and get help from a mum community. Weekly challenges for FFC on Youtube. Easy challenges for all abilities. Ie. mum throws the ball in the air as high as she can and the kid traps it under his foot. Share challenges via tiktok, instagram facebook, twitter using the hashtag #FFCFunMum. Best entries will win an extra coaching video. Best entries include, family having fun, trying hard and best skills. This creates an incentive of participation and for mums to share and show off their quality time on social media.
Visual:
Tissue Meeting with Brian at 2.20pm.
Brian's feedback:
Stop overthinking the idea, the copy and visual isn't right, need to articulate better.
Reflection
Tissue meetings where very good at reflecting upon and discussing what we have made during our process. As a professional meeting, a meeting with two other creatives to discuss and share our ideas was very effective. In hindsight me and Sid should have been more prepared in the adaptation of our visual identity and copy.

Pitch Script:
FFC script - Sid + Sam
Slide 1 - Intro
Hi, we’re Sid and Sam and we go by the Sons of Pitches.
Slide 2 - The challenge
The challenge you brought to us is how could we promote ffc to kids to engage mums with children aged 4-11 and get them involved?
Slide 3 - A mums life
So what is a mum's life like? Mums are busy keeping everything running, so they tend to spend lots of time with their children instead of quality time. Mums only participate in 27% of the fun activities as opposed to the dads. Mums get fear of missing out, sometimes they want to be the “fun dad”.
Side 4 - Insight
All this leads to mums not feeling like the fun parent.
Slide 5 - Idea
Our Idea is to inspire mums to get involved and join in with their kids.
Slide 6 - Strategy
So our strategy is to position FFC as a way to take advantage of quality time.
Slide 7 - Ad
Play Video
This is an idea for an AD. We chose to use videos as its an engaging and concise storytelling medium. Videos are also the highest form of engagement on social media The particular videos we chose are ones that you can’t help but smile at.
We wanted to have a tone of voice that is PLAYFUL, INSPIRING and COMPELLING.
Other potential copy lines we explored to go with “Don’t let dad have all the fun” are “just kick the ball” and “they won't even know it’s your first time”, All maintaining the same TOV.
Slide 8 - Social Media
Mums dominantly use social media to share photos/ videos of their kids.
Slide 9- Tactics
Is a community based hashtag to share, show off and connect on social media.
To maintain engagement, Weekly challenges can be set by FFC.
(Easy challenges for all abilities. ie. passing the ball through chairs legs for passing accuracy.)
Participants get the chance to be featured.

Reflection on the Project
Online Lectures
The Zoom lectures were very good and engaging. I especially liked the client briefing as it felt we had a hands on experience of interviewing a client. We would not usually get that amount of time to interrogate a client and it was good to see them in the comfort of their own home so they was able to talk about their project freely. Having t in front of me was good so i could take my notes whilst listening and focusing fully, the Zoom lectures was good for me as sometimes my reading ability is slow due to my eyesight being poor. There was no distractions on the call apart from the occasional unmuted people (no names to mention.
Partnership
Overall the project i found to be an interesting experience, being it online based and having to learn new skills by working solely over the internet on a brief like this. The negative side to this was the struggle with communication, with their not being a limited time and time management/ obligations outside of a home space it made it difficult to communicate at times, as me and Sid where on different sleeping patterns and had different distractions. All though we managed to obtain a better work flow as time went on. Working with Sid was a good experience, we set to do lists, we had frequent meetings via zoom and i feel we came to an idea we was both happy with.
How i found the brief
The brief was a good experience. I have worked on similar projects before but not on the end of education and aiming at that particular target audience so it was new to me. I think if i was to tackle the brief in a non professional manor i would have changed the target audience and not solely focused on mums with primary school kids.
What i have learned
That time management is very important in working in the industry, especially with such a short deadline period. I have learned that i need to organise my time better and be more organised in general.
How to look into a brief at depth and the methodology's in breaking it down into a sentence via the who, what, how and why strategy.
How to question a client and what important questions to ask are.
How to pitch in a professional space.
The vital difference between Strategy and Tactics.
What i could do better
I could manage my time more efficiently
Be more authoritative when I feel i have a strong idea
Stop overthinking my ideas
Be more calculated with my research
Brian's teaching was very insightful, he gave us a lot of knowledge into the advertising agency.
I miss the branding side and i am looking forward to working on the project with Stanley watts to focus on some more creative visuals.

Oliver Spencer
"My creative relationship with Oliver expanded into a full-blown brand management project, including brand strategy, identity generation, tone of voice development, printed and digital media design and the creation of an online store. The strength and longevity of this partnership was fundamental to the success of our work together."
"Using a variety of workshop strategies, we examined the partners’ aims and objectives.
Workshops with employees were used to promote frank discussion about the brand, company culture and personal aspirations.
This research work produced an invaluable overview of the business at a grass-roots level which lead to fundamental structural and strategic changes.
I developed a focused strategy which identified and celebrated the contrasting attributes of ‘logic’ and ‘intuition’, the paradoxical character that made the company unique."
"I created brand proposition, brand values, brand vision, brand spirit and tone of voice to support a newly envisioned luxury lifestyle group,
With diversification, investment and expansion planned, I defined three product families, the formalisation of which brought inner peace, understanding and supported the vital goals of consistency and focus."

Making things happen
Good brands are about balance.
The balance between
Practical vs Emotional
The balance of the descriptive and practical needs with the intangible emotional connection all relationships require.
Example A trainer that gets me from A to B but also brings me into a community of runners.
Fitting in vs Standing Out
The knowledge of what's expected of you, balanced with the memorable moments that make you stand out.
Create a series of memorable moments.
Strategy vs Delivery
A solid strategic foundation that allows for a unique deliver. The combination of character and personality.
Your brand Strategy should...
Help you stand for something in the mind of your consumers.
Map out a clear conceptual territory that you can own and defend.
Help you make decisions and execute your business plans.
Drive consistency by being evident in everything you do.
Increase motivation and loyalty.
Brand strategy helps you be consistent.

I then chose what i thought the most impactful words were.
I chose the most impactful words from those
From these i then narrowed down my words to 4 key words.
The 4 Key words I chose were:
Magnetic
Cultural
Innovative
Conscientious

Discuss Exercise One and start Exercise Two
Reflection
The project is very exciting. For me this is the most exciting project we have experienced so far. The interview with Stanley Watts was very well done by Derek, he asked great questions and just felt like two people having a conversation about a business in progress rather than someone being briefed. It helped get an insight into the way Stanley is thinking. I feel this brief is quite open, so the time frame to work on this is good and it will interesting to step into the world of the fictitious Alter Ego which is Stanley Watts. The workshop with James Groves was very insightful and honest about how the industry works. I like his straight forward no nonsense attitude to the Workshop. The methodology he is teaching which he has taken inspiration from Game Storming is "Gold Dust"! It was very helpful to have James discuss these in a professional scenario. This is a very exciting brief and i am looking forward to going further in this journey.

Meeting with Sid
Minutes:
Me and Sid discussed the words we had come up with. We both debated our words and decided that our words were not impactful enough when broken down to four. So we discussed the video together in further detail. We then put together the 5 strongest words after debating. Which were Sophisticated, Cultural, Audacious, Authentic and Eclectic. We then worked on Exercise two choosing 5 ways it fits in and 3 ways it stands out. We then discussed brands and what brand personalities we felt fit this brand more to break down the personality into 4 words. We decided that Eclectic was not as impactful as the other words. So our brand Personality is. Sophisticated Cultural Audacious Authentic
Reflection This task was very helpful into building a brand personality. I feel like me and Sid debated well and come to a conclusion we both agreed on. The brand personality we have built is a strong personality and i think it fits the Stanley Watts brand very well.
I think this exercise was very good to work in a professional way, we had to follow a certain methodology carry out set tasks individually then debate and discuss where we got to to find a common ground and work out a strong personality and relate it to other brands. I enjoyed this exercise a lot it felt good to use post its and put all of our ideas down on to a piece of paper and let everything go before we had a meeting.

Refine Standing out
Research Manifesto
Write a draft
Message:
Create an experience that goes beyond hair.
Reflection:
This was a very helpful exercise. James and Steve told us that our brand strategy was strong so far and that our 4 brand personalities tied in really well together. In a professional practice this would be the point of reflecting on your brand personalities and discussing them with your team, so it was good to get some positive feedback so we could then push it further The exercises that James gave us really helped me understand how to build a brand personality. I found this task quite difficult, i need to work on expanding my vocabulary.
Date:
9th May 2020
Tasks:
Meeting with Sid to discuss manifestos we have researched.
Minutes:
Me and Sid discussed manifestos we had found, such as Old Crow, Samsung Perfect Sound Reality, Vans Break the rules, Nike Find your Greatness, Apple Perspective and more.
We then set tasks to work on a draft manifesto and set a meeting for tomorrow 11th May.

It makes us feel creative and rebellious.
It makes us feel like we are ready to stun the hell out of a hot someone
that has yet to acknowledge our existence.
The right haircut gives us control,
It makes us feel confident like we are ready to take on the world.
The right haircut wont make us bullet proof but it will
make us feel like we are.
It is our culture, our story, our authenticity.

Pitch:
Pitch Script:
Slide 1 - Intro
Sam -Welcome to our Pitch
Sam- My names Sam
Sid - And im Sid
Sid - And this our brand manifesto for Stanley Watts
Slide 2:
Sam - We felt this quote from Stanley summed up what he is looking for. He doesn’t just want the space to be just one thing. To him it is about the people that work there and the clients that come with the whole community.
Slide 3:
Sam - When going through the briefing we reflected on the words that Stanley used to find out what matters to him. These are the words that continuously came up which went on to the development of our 4 brand values..
Slide 4:
Sid - Our brand values are Audacious, Sophisticated, Authentic and Cultural. We feel our values represent what Stanley Watts believes in. These words work together to create a cohesive identity for the brand.
Script - Slide 5
Sid- These four brands offer an insight into how Stanley Watts can execute these values.
Sid - Aesop represents sophistication.
They have an organic and natural approach with a clean and minimal aesthetic .
Their philosophy of embracing the imperfections runs throughout their business. From how they sell their products, to how they design their stores - they honour what was there before in a way that merges old and new.
Sam - Another brand who has adopted this idea is converse. They are a brand rooted in culture, and through their recent “twisted” campaign they were able to merge old and new. They encouraged people to twist what they know and create something new and individual.
Sid - Ader Error is a brand from Korea that is currently making waves in the fashion industry for being audacious. They are gender neutral in a country where this idea is still yet to be widely adopted. They keep pushing the boundaries and challenging the status quo.
Sam - Patagonia has been able to remain relevant today through a combination of staying authentic and honest, whilst being able to adapt to modern technology and trends. They are one of the most innovative companies that have created a culture around being ethically aware.
Sid - We've prepared a brand film to show how these brand values can work in unison to strengthen the stanley watts identity.

to get from theory to brand design and language.
How do you create a brand vision.
Presentation by Bear:
Maravilion- Creative Devlopment
Strategy, values, behaviours.
Maravilo is a Jewellery brand and platform. What they do is get the best youngest emerging talent in jewellery design. Give us your design, we will buy the gold/ diamonds, get it made then give you a shop window online with our platform and sell our jewellery for you, but we take 90% of the profit.
Why would an up and coming designer want to this? Expenses, facilities.
No matter how rough your drawings are, how poor you are, we take care of the production.
Brand ambassadors.
Social Influencers. The fashion Pack. Motherhood & Beyond. Big Hitters.
Customer personas. Cross reference with data. Rank customers. Primary, secondary.
Mood boards.
Some up who the customer is.
Customers value creativity.
Like to be different.
Think of Stanley Watts is a label, it’s something you wear.
It’s a place you go to make you feel a certain way.
More of a therapist than a hairdresser, someone to confide in.
Choices, aspirations, how it makes them feel.
EMPOWERED: Making their own income, independent in choices and life.
Brand wheel. Model, see where it balances out.
The middle is purpose.
Values.
Personas.
Could add activation.
For Stanley Watts, what is his purpose in life. Why does he get out of bed.
What does he believe in.
Customers are interested in purpose from an ethical point of view.
They want to know what you are giving back, what makes you different, what makes you relevant.
They want to see that your are a value to the modern world.
Maravilos purpose was to put designers first, at the head of the queue.
Creative articulation of that was Raw Talent Uncut.
Break it down.
Behaviours under values, copywrite them.
Proposition.
What does the proposition mean?
Brand they like. Ie. Diesel.
So how do we creatively articulate these ideas?
3 Simple ideas.
1. Designers First – Key Insight: Our audience recognises the value. Solution – Align the audience to your brand by celebrating the designers and showcasing their world. Story to their jewellery, a platform for what they believe in. Example of Photography. How do they get their inspiration. Find photography and texture that has an overall execution, to tell stories about a designer. Start to play with colour. Who the Maravilo designers are. Texture that might relate into the product. Tell stories. Creative process and how it informs the logo. Hand crafted, sophisticated mark to position them as a quality product, add the ingredients i.e Strapline. Introduced more hand craft. Then put all the ingredients together. Write long form copy. Idea of if the designers signed their work, bring it into a work. What’s the conversation? How does it work with your brand language?
2. Before them – Take out of comfort zone. Key insight: Our audience likes to be different; they don’t want to be wearing the same thing as everyone else, and they want to get it first. Creative solution- Create separation between your audience and the mainstream #FOMO. Who are the people that get to things before you do? Friends, The mainstream, The fashion Pack, The blogger? Wear it before they do. Story. Different execution in TOV than the other. Being a bit more subversive. Vulgarity photography. Ironic, British sense of humour. Product is front and centre. Wear it before they do. All typography etc, is brand design, styling, craft born out of story. Beat the fashionistas? People who do have taste, brand language still works. Identity i.e logo ironic. Tab language. Bring things to life. Beat the bloggers. “Not on @DINATOKIO’S Insta”. Hero Product. How would It behave in the digital space.
What you are saying is most important!
3. Raw Talent – Perhaps our solution is staring us in the face? An attitude, a look, a feel. If Maravilo opened a shop and they was doing a fit out? What if the shop was an abattoir and was all about raw talent. Jewellery photographer, who takes with photos with raw meat. Break the rules? Try be provocative, don’t be too safe. Informs the logo and identity. Logo has a cut through it. Not doing a logo because of they like the photography. Has to be informed. Fun with the language, i.e young, gifted, raw. Naked ambition. As intended. Rough around the edges. Photography that does the things that are uncomfortable. If you can’t find reference sketch it. Storyboard. Mood film. Show the mood film then the storyboard. Here’s a mood, then a storyboard. Unearthing talent. Thinking of ideas for logos.
Show more than one idea!
Show your exploration.
Maravilo took the 1st route.
One last thing. If for example, you want to go the extra yard. Do you start to look at what Stanley Watts might do in terms of product, social, do you look at how your guidelines behave?
Brand design, you start from the story. From the beginning of what somebody or something stands for.
Brand identity, shape, look, feel, etc. Everything is informed from that core strategic thought.
Question whether you have really injected a purpose.
Does a customer care about this product?
Once you know your purpose and strategic, copywriting angle, have some fun.
The most comment mistake made. Listening to the feedback from Stanley, some work lacked focus. Lots of ideas and mood boards and values. What is the core idea and purpose that drives everything.
Executing something that is pure style or movement that someone really stands for.
Get familiar with creative suite.
Understand when each one is relevant with the project.
Do not keep sitting at your computer. Step back put everything on the wall. Printing a presentation out, reduce a page size down and put it on the wall. Holistic view of what you are doing.
Feedback from Rob on Pitch:
What’s your big idea?
Expressed a load of values and behaviours and brought it down.
Finish with Hair is just the beginning. Great line!
Opens the brief to a wider community.
Challenge.
Culturally worked for someone with bald hair,
All is welcome.
What is the purpose? Is it community, along those lines. Beauty is community.
What does Stanley want?
They want us to problem solve. We think its this this is where the money is.
Emotional connection that a salon has with its customers.
Where is the emotional connection? Find an emotional connection.
Challenge:
Bring some craft to the presentation, graphic language, digital behaviours, is it that there is a way of involving the wider community with the salon through digital behaviours, don’t worry whether this or not can be executed.
Ideas, ideas, ideas, relate back to the core.
Golfing tournament. Unifying the sporting world.
Typography. Cool typography.
Elements of how it looks.
Reflection
The Workshop with Rob was very insightful. He showed us a professional pitch that Bear worked on which was very insightful into how to pitch brand guidelines professionally. I then had my meeting with Rob, which unfortunately Sid did not turn up to. He gave us great feedback and showed us some work that Bear are currently working on to reference his feedback. He showed where me and Sid can move forward from and what we need to refine, this was extremely helpful. I enjoyed this workshop and the feedback given was super insightful and I am very satisfied with where me and Sid are at with our presentation. He felt we was in a very good position.
