❑ RELEVANT TO MY LIFE ❑ RELEVANT TO MODERN CULTURE
Relevance is basically getting the brand back in line—or ahead of culture. And it works because it taps into Social Norms and herding instinct—we all want to be doing what others are doing.

3 BASIC ELEMENTS TO ADVERTISING THAT WORKS
Mountain Dew Kickstart PUPPYMONKEYBABY 2016
BREAKTHROUGH ADVERTISING
Is bold enough to break through the clutter and grab attention—but it’s not always consistent to the brand
Bud Light “DILLY DILLY”
BREAKTHROUGH & DISTINCTIVE ADVERTISING
Is both bold enough to break through the clutter and grab attention AND makes the brand salient through the consistent use of brand assets
Wendy’s “4 FOR 4”
COMPELLING ADVERTISING
Is primarily focused on driving a persuasive message
THE GOAL IS TO CREATE ADVERTISING THAT IS BREAKTHROUGH, DISTINCTIVE AND COMPELLING
