THE HUGE UNFAIR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE OF PROPER CREATIVE
We’ve seen head-to-head creative tests where one post out-performs the other by thirty two times over. Same brand, same basic message – different creative approach.
High quality creative is the secret to unfair competitive advantage in the marketplace. Proper social creative will drive sales today and build a long term point of difference, with valuable brand equity.
Not convinced? Think of it this way; it often takes much the same time and money to create ill-thought out copy and an average image… compared to a decent copy with a compelling image. You may as well do it properly:
- It starts with creative concepts and “scamps” (hand drawn ideas for posts) that align with the brief for your approval. 
- This saves time and money and ensures everyone is on the same page (as creativity is a subjective discipline). 
- Then you need an agile, flexible team to bring the right ingredients together to bring the concept to life; copy, design, styling, photography, video, grading, editing, studio etc. 
- You need senior creative oversight to make sure that each individual message builds a consistent brand long term. 
- You need experienced social creatives who understand that the devil is in the detail – and how each message fits with the huge variety of social formats viewed within a range of digital environments and across different devices.
