Effectiveness Workshop 2017 with Chris Baker Effies International Judge
Posted 20 September 2017.
This year’s international Effie Awards Judge, Chris Baker, will be in Auckland for the first time prior to the big night and is running a half day effectiveness workshop.
Chris has been in the industry for over 35 years. Along the way he’s honed his planning effectiveness skills and is exceptional at his craft. In this interactive workshop he will share some of the lessons, techniques and tools learned. You will definitely leave with new knowledge to support you in your role.
Who should attend?
The workshop is designed for people that want to understand how they can add value to their client relationships and want to deliver strategic direction and business value. You will learn how to engage with a client’s broader commercial and brand agenda, to understand and help shape ‘the brief behind the brief’.
You’ll typically know the importance of a great strategy, thinking and the development of great work. However, this is all academic if you don’t win the pitch, get the client to share ownership of the strategy and the solution, engage the business beyond the person who briefed you, and then learn from the outcomes.
What’s covered?
• ‘Winning Friends and influencing People’ – engagement principles to grow broader strategic understanding and influence, and democratize strategy development.
• Objective-setting and the foundations of effectiveness measurement – ensure Communications objectives sit clearly in the context of Business (commercial) and Marketing (behavioral) objectives.
• The Brand as the overall organizing principle – put ideas and short-term activations in their place, avoid the danger of brand fragmentation; create the conditions for sustainable growth.
• Brand Archetypes and how to use them – a top tool for Planners and client engagement.
• Behavior Change Models – practical tools to broaden the agency role and value.
• Psychology Maps (Category and Consumer Segment) – quick ways of creating strategic understanding and alignment.
