Pure Creativity is Useless

social mediaBeing creative is important but getting the key business messages across to the consumers is even more crucial. In today’s social media age, too many agencies and advertisers focus on getting the “buzz” right and loud. The key business messages are often forgotten.

In essence, creativity is a supporting element to better communication. The video below did extremely well to illustrate how a creative campaign succeeds in generating buzz but failed miserably to communicate the business messages.

Thanks @shahidm for the heads up.

    I love the surprise ending on the video! It might be exciting to take the most “cutting edge” route, but you've got to get results so you've got to do what works.
