HEALTH WARNING
The Academy experience is at its best when you:
• don’t jump to the answer
• trust the process even if it isn’t in your nature
to do so
• ban stereotypes, hierarchies, and traditional
roles at your tables
• don’t let your inhibitions or insecurities put a
stop to creative flow
• remember that this is a learning experience
We don’t believe there is a recipe for Lovemarks or a single way of
doing things. We’re just sharing one way of doing things that we use

Lovemarks stand for things people care
about - like design, provenance, quality,

Increasingly, they also must ensure that
they don’t stand in conflict to people’s

represent a higher form of capitalism. One that creates a positive cycle of company and
community prosperity.”

Sustainable Opportunities:
Collaborative Consumption
If your product ever sits idle what
are the opportunities to create a
new model for consumption? If
you don’t do it, someone else will.
Leasing, sharing, blending,
collaborating.... You get the
picture

‘Plus-ing’ is what it’s called at
Pixar, and there are two rules:
1) Practice ‘Yes, And’
2) Always make your partners look

The Lovemarks Academy
BEST PRACTICES
FOR IDEA GENERATION
• Practice ‘Yes, And’.
• Bring a diverse group of people together.
• Encourage the reticent and moderate the talkers.
• If you feel the group is going in circles step back and use a reframing tool, visualisation, or some other stimulus to change the perspective.
• Don’t become a salesperson.
• Pick a scribe to capture ideas. Pick a facilitator to manage time and to keep the team on task and target.
• Set ground rules as a team if necessary. Things like, “encourage wild ideas”, “Go for quantity not quality”, “Don’t judge while ideating” etc.
• Focus ruthlessly when the time comes to make decisions.

CHALLENGES
Lovemarks Academy CLIENT CHALLENGE
How might Airbnb create a compelling, unified story
around its core mission of a future economy powered by
sharing that is easily understood, emotionally captivating,
intellectually rigorous, and lots of fun?
How might that story translate into a statement of
corporate responsibility? How might Airbnb go about
building a corporate-responsibility strategy?
Lovemarks Academy CLIENT CHALLENGE
The program’s communication efforts are meant to meet one end goal: make sustainability
part of our routine decision-making and long-range planning.
ARNG Soldiers and Leaders do not currently use a common language or consistently
integrate sustainability in their day-to-day decisions and meetings. Though we have made
limited progress at the Directorate level, we would like to take this message all the way to the
top and bottom (from the Leaders at the Pentagon to part-time Soldiers in the State Guards)
so that it becomes part of our organizational culture. This way, sustainability is driven by
informed and empowered individuals rather than a central administrative program.
ARNG seeks to build a communications strategy to educate personnel on sustainability,
integrate the principle into our Army Values, support sustainability initiatives in action, and
connect efforts to our communities and their priorities.
To begin progress to that end we must bring the message home to the ARNG’s most
important goal – maintaining and improving our operational capacity to accomplish our
global and domestic (federal and state) missions.
How do we connect the operational missions more deeply to the concept of sustainability, so
as to initiate an organization-wide culture change among Soldiers and Leaders?
Lovemarks Academy CLIENT CHALLENGE
One of APE’s key properties (Outside Lands) is already perceived as one of the greenest festivals in the
market. And while sustainability may not be overtly promoted to festival-goers at Outside Lands, APE has
taken steps to reduce their environmental impact and teach attendees everyday sustainability practices.
APE has built a robust sustainability platform with Eco Lands and other sustainability measures taken at the
festival. Outside Lands’ sustainability branding is both highly relevant to local consumers and is also a
powerful point of difference for Outside Lands within the music festival competitive landscape. APE
wants to continue strengthening its competitive positioning as a leader in sustainability in the music
industry.
Accordingly, APE is now looking to take its sustainability platform to the next phase of growth with a new
big idea that can propel its sustainability strategy to the next level -- not only making a major
environmental impact, but also engaging consumers with its brand (strengthening brand equity and
brand loyalty), and ultimately raising awareness and solidifying APE’s positioning as a leader in
sustainability in the music industry.
Guidelines:
- Ideas must be aligned with APE’s core mission and product (a music experience) and resonate with its
concert goers.
- APE doesn’t want to overly push the message to consumers but would rather consumers ‘discover’ the
sustainability practices as they explore the festival. So, how can APE ‘do more’ without necessarily
‘saying more’?
- How can APE engage concert goers on this topic at varying touch points (before, during and after
concerts)?

SFGoodwill has reached a point in its brand re-launch where its ready
to engage team members in understanding the brand position – “See
the good and grow it.” and their role in championing the core values
of the organization “Community. Possibility. Courage. Integrity.”
Given the complexity of the audience, how might SFGoodwill best
engage internal stakeholders, connecting on an emotional level with
people of various backgrounds, learning styles, levels of sophistication,
and “tribe” alliances? How might brand ambassadors be encouraged
to emerge from among the rich diversity that makes up the Goodwill
family? And how might Goodwill do this on a shoestring budget?

THE PERFECT PAINTING
The Lovemarks Academy
WHAT MAKES A GOOD OIIC?
• A measurable business objective – not necessarily the objective in the brief
• Short, punchy and inspirational, with inherent tension
• A natural and logical flow from O to C, although it may not be created in that order
• Agreed upon by all involved
• Based on real insight from people and clients – insight is the heart of the OIIC and connects to the OI
• Avoid buzz words or industry lingo. Use language that real people would use as well

RAINFOREST ALLIANCE Objective: Drive sales in Rainforest Alliance certified products with people who already ‘care’ about the environment.
Issue: Even people who ‘care’ about the environment are cynical about what buying a green label can do about big problems.
Insight: There are times in your life, often in youth, when you feel like you have nothing to lose. When allowing your passion and conscience to drive your decisions is the responsible, moral thing to do. But when family and other ‘responsibility’ come into the picture, that all changes. All of a sudden ‘responsible’ takes on whole new meaning.
Challenge: Make Rainforest Alliance a short-cut to ‘responsible’ for the green cynics out there

MILLER HIGHLIFE
Objective: Use the Superbowl as a catalyst to turn around declining sales

Oxygen Broadband
Objective: Inspire customers already using internet in the
home to switch to Oxygen Broadband.
Issue: The currency of broadband in Hong Kong is speed,
but every few weeks faster broadband becomes available. Oxygen may be the fastest today, but they won’t be tomorrow.
Insight: There is absolutely nothing more important to
families in Hong Kong than their children’s performance in school. In fact, their competitive spirit is at it’s strongest when they take on their child’s education.

• From the Greek word noesis, meaning to understand the inner nature of things intuitively, in contrast to mere perception
or rational thinking (reasoning)

ONE WORD STORYTELLING
The Lovemarks Academy
Presentations EACH TEAM HAS 5 MINS TO PRESENT
1. The content of your OIIC and, In particular, make sure your insight resonates with people in the room, perhaps delivering an ‘aha’ moment for the audience.
2. Your Organising idea to the power of S (OIs)
1. 1-3 ideas for how your OIs could transform the client’s business. No traditional communication ideas are allowed
‘Plus-ing’ is what it’s called at
Pixar, and there are two rules:
1) Practice ‘Yes, And’
2) Always make your partners look
good
MBA POLYMERS OBJECTIVE: One in two green cars to use recycled complex plastic in the next three years ISSUE: People believe the hallmark of a green vehicle today is fuel efficiency and lower emissions INSIGHT: I go green to be seen. I drive a Prius - an ugly car - because everyone recognises it as the green car. It is that little bit of bling that acts as the short cut to joining the environmental elite CHALLENGE: Turn recycled plastic into gold by making it just as visible as the shape as the Prius ORGANISING IDEA: Plastic Alchemy
OBJECTIVE: Convert one car company as a customer in the next 12 months ISSUE: We have large, complex supply chains and, even though there is now increasing plastic in our cars, each piece of plastic is a marginal component. Making a switch to MBA Polymers as a supplier is just far too difficult INSIGHT: There comes a point in every parent’s life when they go from super hero to simply human. Their kids no longer grant them unconditional adoration: ‘You do what for a job?’ CHALLENGE: Make the first step to buying recycled plastic the new act of heroism ORGANISING IDEA: Hero Plastics
OBJECTIVE: Replace virgin plastic with recycled plastic. [Metrics: % recycled; % products in particular category over 3 year timeframe] ISSUE: Despite knowing ‘the why’ they should buy recycled plastics (environmental and economic benefits) and understanding the ‘how’ (MBA Polymers’ unique technology), they still don’t understand what they’re getting INSIGHT: As a society, we all value progress. We illustrate this progress through numerical iterations. Who doesn’t want the iphone 5 instead of the iphone 4? CHALLENGE: Demonstrate the progress of MBA Polymers’ plastic ORGANISING IDEA: Unleash Plastic 2.0.

HOW DO WE GET TO
ORGANISING IDEAS?
The Lovemarks Academy
ORGANISING IDEAS (OI) TEND TO FALL INTO ONE OF THREE CATEGORIES DEPENDING ON WHAT WILL AUTHENTICALLY SETS A BRAND AND A BUSINESS APART FROM THEIR COMPETITION.
If your Spirit or a shared Dream that inspires people to lend you their time and money sets you apart, your OI probably answers the question:
WHY?
If what you deliver in the marketplace (service, experience, product) differentiates you, your OI should focus
on the ‘WHAT’.
If the way in which you create your brand experience and the focus that drives your people is truly distinctive, your OI probably answers
the question HOW do we do what we do?
The Lovemarks Academy
WHAT SETS US APART IS OUR ‘WHY’. OUR DREAM.
1. S&S: To be revered as the hothouse of world changing ideas
2. LBS (London Business School): To have a profound impact on the way the world does business
3. Retail Bank (new entrant to market): To transform the relationship the Brits have with their money
The Lovemarks Academy
WHAT SETS US APART IS ‘WHAT’ WE DO
1. Lego: (we are) Fuel for a child’s imagination
2. Apple: Unleashes Creativity
3. Nike: Empowers Athletes
The Lovemarks Academy
WHAT SETS US APART IS HOW WE DO WHAT WE DO
1. Lexus: Pursuit of Perfection
2. Pampers: Focuses on Baby’s Development
3. Williams F1: Pushes back technological barriers to make the car go faster
4. S&S: Fill the world with lovemarks
5. S&SS: Makes Sustainability Irresistible
