Your outernet Lunchbox

Just came across this spot from Australia that would make most parents chuckle. It’s for Aldi’s lunchbox program, a nice example of what retail brands could start doing a lot more in other countries as well. Of course it’s trendy to go outernet and sometimes it seems like agencies and marketers propose outernet ideas just for the sake of it. But married with a seasonal occasion that helps stressed parents, this idea has legs of it own and may keep parents involved with the brand on an ongoing basis.

It Takes a Team to Make Make-able Ideas

Please read Rick Liebling’s great article on the Fast Co website, where he warns: WAIT A MINUTE MAKERS: BEFORE AGENCIES CAN “MAKE THINGS” THEY NEED TO CREATE “MAKEABLE IDEAS”.

It is becoming clearer that the ages-old model of coming up with the :30 spot for the ‘center’ of the campaign will never enable your agency to deliver the kind of ‘things’ that become part of people’s lives.

Rick makes especially solid points about how this shift in the end-game demands wide-reaching change across the company - a new way of thinking for not just creative but also for senior management, HR, accounts, and planning.  And the core team has to make way for another member or two - which does tend to ruffle feathers - let’s be honest.

Are you set up to make things?  What’s holding you back?
