A Lisbon Ad School tem uma (mini) bibioteca porreiríssima aberta a todos os que pretendam consultá-la. Dos clássicos ao marketing, da direcção de arte ao planeamento estratégico, do branding ao copy - vale a pena uma visita.

Advice for the next generation of planners
What’s your best advice for the next-generation of young and ambitious planners? Este foi o desafio feito a algumas das melhores cabeças do planeamento estratégico. o que se segue é uma das respostas que mais gostei.
"What advice would I give the next generation of planners? To misquote one William Jefferson Clinton, for me, it’s about the data. Using data to inspire and illuminate, not simply evaluate or quantify.
For the first time ever, we know exactly what people want. Not what people tell us they want in focus groups or tracking surveys but what they really, really want. We have an accurate, exhaustive and ever-evolving record of the hopes, fears, loves and loathings of humanity-what John Battelle, writing about search, described as “The Database of Intention”.
We know, literally, what they’re looking for today. Through the power of the crowd we know what they’re going to be looking for tomorrow. In their millions, through search logs, social networks and microblogs, our consumers can tell us things that as individuals they don’t know yet. They can tell us where flu is going to strike next, who’s going to win Pop Idol, they’ll tell us before we can see it anywhere else when the housing market is on the way up. They’re telling us every day what they love and hate about our brands. As the heralded “voices of the consumer” what could possibly be more exciting?
There has never been more information, more freely available, from richer sources. One of the most valuable commodities in the world and companies are literally giving it away. Because the data flooding in is out of all proportion to companies’ ability to analyse it, much less turn that analysis into insight. There’s too much out there to simply crunch. So we need to marry analysis with instinct, statisticians with cultural mavens and trendhunters, left brain with right brain. Sounds a lot like a job for a planner…..
So embrace the information overload, wrangle the data, interrogate it, manipulate it, get to love it. Watch the conversations happening round your brands, spot your super users, your evangelists and your antagonists. Watch what’s happening in the fandoms, keep your eye on the geeks and the mavens and watch them predict the mainstream. Find new ways of visualising the data, of turning information into dynamic, compelling and strangely beautiful insight.
What else…. Be generous with your ideas. Be extra generous with other people’s ideas. Get comfortable with chaos. Get good at drawing clarity out of it. Never forget it’s not enough to be right-you have to take people with you. And wear good shoes".

Essência de um planner - opinião
Não é novidade, mas partilho com vocês
"¿Por qué es importante la figura del planner en el actual funcionamiento de una agencia? Para Keka Palacio, “la esencia de un buen planner es la creatividad. Un planner sin creatividad es simplemente un analista”. - Dentro de su función, la planner colombiana reconoce vital la capacidad de análisis y de interpretación de la situación de una marca y un consumidor, pero destaca que es preciso, además, ser dueño de una “sensibilidad especial” para poder traducir todo aquello en ideas y elementos relevantes.
Es preciso que la actual generación de planners se involucre más en el mundo digital, “no sólo como herramienta de comunicación, sino como herramienta que nos permita descubrir mucho más al consumidor y entablar mejores conversaciones con él”.

"Um ano de carnificina"
E pelo meio de casa-trabalho-faculdade-Twitter's e afins esqueci-me de assinalar que o Brief do Lombo fez um ano de vida no passado dia 26 de Fevereiro de 2008.
Um sincero obrigado a todos que colaboram neste espaço e a todos que o visitam.
Pró ano haverá mais certamente.

Buy 1 Rival, Get Our Brand Free.
"In an audacious and quite possibly unprecedented move likely to resonate with recession-weary consumers, Coca-Cola will give away a free sample of its Vault brand to anyone who buys PepsiCo's Mtn Dew.
The aggressive "Don't Dew It" promotion aims to get die-hard Dew-ers to try Vault, which after three years on the market isn't just an also-ran to the Pepsi brand; it's an afterthought. According to Beverage Digest, juggernaut Mtn Dew commands more than an 80% share of the citrus segment, while Vault holds about 4%." in Advertising Age. Continue a ler aqui.

Os animais como suporte/veiculação de campanhas

Alguém quer ser meu sócio, na minha nova agência de meios?
Para começar é melhor pensarmos nos mais económicos. Já estou em negociações com o Zoo de Lisboa para out-sourcing.. e a coisa parece que vai andar!

Big Idea
"Activities thrive better than ads in the new media landscape. So the most useful Big Idea is a point of view than can inspire activities. Persil’s ‘Dirt Is Good’ is a marvelously rich point of view about how children develop through play".
