Transcript of Part 1: Creative Slamdown: Hear how great creatives successfully sell mundane, inane or boring...

Mundane, inane or boring creative:

The Otis Maxwell snoozefest

• Mundane? That means commonplace, right? So no.

• Inane? That means silly, not that either.

• Boring? Not if an impressive string of very small numbers gets you going.

But here’s the problem…

1. It is near impossible to say what this client does in a sentence.

2. The one catchprase that say what they do, they won’t allow us to use.

3. They will not show their flagship product on their new website.

4. Their spokesperson is a recognized guru, but you can’t say that.

5. And about their name and logo…

I give you...

2. The one catchprase that say what they do, they won’t allow us to use.

3. They will not show their flagship product on their new website.
