Why creative matters in ads
Advertising may not be high culture, but it is art. It involves creativity and innovation, lots of work, and a certain amount of luck. Many specialists in the industry point out that every advertisement is a little product in its own right and that marketing is a painstakingly competitive business.
In truth, only some people in advertising did anything brilliant without being able to step back at least a little way from the problem they are working on and see the bigger picture. A creative ad considers the whole process of developing advertising concepts, finding interesting angles, and researching the media to work with. Who will your competitors be, so you can be sure your ad will stand out from all the others?
