GENERALIZD FROM A PARTICULAR INSTANCES
The psychodynamic approach describes the creative
process as a combination of two mental mechanisms,
which Freud called primary and secondary processes; the
first is archaic, illogical and is a function of the
unconscious, while the second is a function of the awake
mind and relies on common logic.
The psychometric approach (Guilford, 1954; Plucker and
Renzulli, 1999) uses the concept of divergent thinking
(Baer, 1993; Runco, 1991) and assesses the quality of
the creative process by testing such factors as fluency
(or number of generated ideas), flexibility (the variety of
perspectives represented by ideas), originality
(statistical infrequency of ideas) and elaboration.
Associative theory treats creative thinking as the
formation of "associative elements into new
combinations which either meet special requirements or
are in some way useful" (Mednick, 1962). Arthur Koestler
(1964) introduced the term 'bisociation' to designate
"any mental occurrence simultaneously associated with
two habitually incomparable contexts" which he
considered the essential mechanism of the creative
process.

Creativity is the soul of human experience,
It is what gives life to messages about products

Creativity is make life exciting.
It evokes healthy
competition. And it is what makes us unique and different.
Highest form of self-actualization. (A. Maslow, Humanist)

A creative concept is an overarching “Big Idea”
that captures audience interest, influences their
emotional response and inspires them to take
action. It is a unifying theme that can be used
across all campaign messages, calls to action,
communication channels and audiences.
Typically, the creative concept is embodied in a
headline, tagline and a key visual. Successful creative
concepts are distinctive, memorable, unifying and
relevant. Some examples include: Nike’s “Just Do It”
campaign, the “Got Milk?” campaign and the Red
Ribbon Campaign.
What are characteristics of a strong
Advertising Concept?
Creative concepts are based on the communication strategy and
creative brief. This ensures that concepts are informed by a strong
understanding of the situation, the audience, the channels that will
be used, the objectives the campaign seeks to reach and the
benefits the audience will respond to.
The creative team develops multiple creative concepts based on
this information and then concept tests them to determine which
one resonates best with the audience.
Why Develop a Creative Concept?
In today’s busy and constantly changing communication environment, social and
behavior change communication (SBCC) must be creative and strategic to compete
with commercial advertising and capture the audience’s attention. The creative
concept shapes the core of the SBCC campaign, which helps create consistency
across messages and materials.
Developing creative concepts is also important because it allows the team to:
1. Test which benefit is most appealing to the audience
2. See how the campaign will work (or not) across multiple media channels
3. Identify an idea that ties the whole campaign together
4. Reach the audience more effectively by finding ‘big ideas’ that resonate with
them
Elements of Creative Concept in Advertising?
Different colors or fonts
These are graphic design elements that will be developed in
the executions (materials). This adds visual impact. Choose
colors wisely that appeals to the audience.
Different models
Concepts typically use stock photography or rough
illustrations to convey the general idea. Actions speaks louder
than words. By choosing the picture that best represent the AD
will bring success.
Different informational
messages or calls to action
This is the Ad campaign/slogan. Words that portray meaning
and send messages. Words are so powerful and convincing.
