The history, current practice and possible futures of the planning function in advertising and the development and execution of creative concepts.
Creativity is a key component of successful advertising and marketing communication outcomes. The value of understanding creative thinking, which is more than just an ability to "be creative", is to develop a curiosity for, and an originality in approaches to, making sense in new ways. This course aims to develop knowledge of creative concepts relative to marketing theory and practice and considers historical and current practices as well as future possibilities for developing concepts in creative industries. Importantly, Advertising Planning and Concept Development integrates theory with real world examples in the global context as well as introducing local and sustainable creative alternatives. The course is structured in two distinct parts and will be delivered as a series of lectures, guest sessions, case studies and workshops with academic as well as local and international industry practitioners.
