Brilliant decks.

A creative responding to Alex Morris’ survey “Creatives on Strategists” (highly recommend) wisely pointed out that getting your hands on strategy decks from W+K and Droga is an excellent way understand what great strategy looks like. Aside from one Old Spice / WK deck that was posted to Sweathead years ago, I haven’t seen many. Do any generous souls have any they’d be generous enough to share? Can be way outdated since I’m sure the storytelling is pretty timeless. Thanks

i lol’d at that when i saw that post. like you tell people to get decks from these highly coveted agencies but dont provide any. and i doubt people from either agency would be willing to give up their decks either.

anywho, it matters not to me anymore since i no longer do creative strategy and work in brand/innovation strategy. completely different fields of playing.

Not quite sure why a creative would say something like that when it’s nigh on impossible for NDA purposes. However, there are definitely great ones out there but you have to hunt for them but not by WK and Droga.

That said, awards papers are also a great source.

Have you tried reverse engineering the campaigns? It’s a great way to work out how they did it. But you need to go deep.

Fair enough. Look into IPA and APG effectiveness case studies/awards. That will be a closer indication.

I think a couple of challenges with the creative brief is that it is just a summary to the supporting deck and just focuses on the TA.

Once in a while I do full reverse brief to get a clearer picture or to see what other channels got used and to push myself a bit more - a lot of the evidence is out there and only a few leaps are needed as we haven’t spoke with the TA.

But you can do a light 4Cs on the work to get an idea of it.

My hard drive is worth more than gold it appears.
