What makes a great
idea nowadays?
Gareth Kay
Head of Planning, Modernista!
Fresh Meet 11.13.07
Not that many ideas seem to be great

“in most categories a brand’s market share is stationary”

4 out of 5 categories seen as increasingly homogeneous

less than 1 in 10 ads seen as different

4% response rate successful in dm; 0.5% average click-thru rate for
banners

3x $ spent on price cutting as on ‘brand building’ in packaged goods
The usual objectives are wrong

Awareness doesn’t really matter in a world of overchoice

Attributes and attitudes, adjusted for brand size,
don’t change

Image doesn’t shift until after behavior
It’s energy that matters

       The active or moving force of a brand

       A leading indicator of usage and preference
       Justifies a higher price
       Adds an incremental 64% to brand value than sales
       growth alone

Energetic ideas are different

They’re about a big idea behind the idea, not the ‘big idea’
Have a social mission, not just
  a commercial proposition
Make people think about
 the world around them

“Any idea is dangerous if it’s a person’s
 only idea”*
 A culture full of depth and complexity

 The rule of the 5%

 Why not when the economics have changed?




* George Will’s take on the American idea, Atlantic Monthly, November 2007
What makes a great idea nowadays?
Energetic ideas are different

They’re about a big idea behind the idea, not the ‘big idea’

They’re about being interesting and useful, not narcissistic

They’re about doing stuff, not just delivering a message

They’re about doing lots of stuff, not doing one thing everywhere

They’re about sweating the small stuff, not stopping at the big thing
