According to Adweek’s Tim Nudd, asking creative people where they get their ideas from is a bit of a pointless exercise. But when it comes to the creative process, the plot thickens. At an Advertising Week panel, top creative directors shared their personal approaches to the ideation process, and what they came up with might surprise you. Include these 6 strategies in your ideation arsenal when tackling your next project or campaign.
Strategy 1: Think Inside the Box (the Sandbox, that is)
According to Amy Hodgins-Carvajal, creative director at Publicis Kaplan Thaler, the creative process should be a lot like play, and creative directors and advertisers should think more like children.
“Kids aren’t self-editing,” she said at the Adweek panel. “They have a very fresh perspective. They’re proud of their ideas. They want to share them. We come up with our ideas in the same way that children play. It’s a playful environment, and we make it a really fun atmosphere, where people are encouraged to share and aren’t overly criticized.”
The take-away, make your environment more fun. Many creative agencies employ this tactic, which is why bean bangs, pool tables, indoor games and even trampolines have become industry mainstays.
Strategy 2: Use Constraints Creatively
You know that client brief? It’s not just a set of fixed guidelines meant to curb your creative process down to the specificities of the project scope. According to Sam Cannon, executive creative director at Razorfish, it’s actually an underrated idea driver.
“The creative brief, if it’s good, will constrain you and lead to insights about the target audience that go beyond the superficial,” Cannon said.
Cannon also mentioned turning yet another constraint we’re all familiar with, the infamous comfort zone, into idea fuel. “If you tend toward comedy, stop yourself with the next assignment and try to do something a little more serious. If you tend to start with a social idea, or TV, or whatever it is, don’t go there. Take a different turn, and see where it takes you.”
Strategy 3: Get Out of the Office
Although you might think you get your best work done at the office, a change of scenery can be a great tactic to get creative juices going.
“Get away from the computer; get out of the office as a team; socialize together; hash out problems over a beer; be open to being lucky; do things outside of digital (if you work at a digital agency like Huge); go see a film or a play and learn how those people solve problems,” said Conor Brady, Chief Creative Officer at Huge.
Well, it’s time to put some of these ideas to practice. Next time, we’ll find out why you should bring a total stranger into your next brainstorm meeting, and more!
I stream, You stream, we all stream through various different mediums, that are ever expanding and somehow still produce amazing original content?! The landscape of streaming services is overwhelming with the likes of Youtube Red, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Video, HBO GO all and new additions like Disney+ and Apple Tv all vying for our time; the competition is real. In our global world nobody wants to miss the “water-cooler” talk on Game of Thrones or Stranger Things so even though there is a standard increase in price across platforms viewership continues to rise.
Earlier this year Netflix debuted its biggest price increase since the creation of the service. Even though this negatively affected Netflix’s stock many say it is necessary due to subscription price being their sole form of revenue. Netflix is different from other streaming services because they are 100% ad free. With 139 million subscribers and counting, this seems like a missing market but netflix still hold strong in there policy. Saying “We, like HBO, are advertising free,” the company said in its letter to investors. “That remains a deep part of our brand proposition; when you read speculation that we are moving into selling advertising, be confident that this is false. We believe we will have a more valuable business in the long term by staying out of competing for ad revenue and instead entirely focusing on competing for viewer satisfaction.”
With a position this strong Netflix users are hopeful that the company will stay true with there promise for no ads. Many viewers use streaming services with ads the biggest being Hulu. However, Hulu has a tiered membership program, with ad free options which equals more money for Hulu. Netflix owns 71% of the global streaming video on demand (SVOD) market, the 2018 Global Television Demand Report found, and grabs 68% of the market in the U.S. With that big of a market many people assume with the competition increasing and popular shows like the office and friends being removed from the platforms in upcoming years. Netflix might have to offer a tiered program whether they like it or not.
Whether this will cause subscribers to leave the program in droves is still up for debate.The only thing know, in this equation, is the streaming market is only going to increase. Netflix focus on original content and a global audience has kept them in the forefront of what a streaming platform brand should be doing. This will continue to change and keeping an eye on it for the next few years may prove to be quite interesting.

The holiday season is the perfect time for brands to connect with customers through programmatic advertising.
In 2024, emerging trends like AI-driven personalization, interactive ads, and predictive analytics are reshaping how advertisers reach their target demographic. By harnessing these advancements, brands can craft relevant, data-driven campaigns that capture attention and drive engagement.
Our ad agency uses these advancements effectively all year, especially during the holiday shopping rush.
The Value of Programmatic Advertising for Holiday Ad Campaigns
During the holidays, the right advertising approach is essential for standing out in a crowded market. Automated ad platforms streamline buying and allow advertisers to reach their target demographic on display networks, video channels, and social media. Programmatic techniques provide several key benefits during the holiday season:
Precise Targeting: Ads are targeted to specific segments based on behaviors, demographics, and location, making them highly relevant.
Cost Efficiency: Brands bid smarter, only paying for impressions that align with their targeting criteria.
Real-Time Flexibility: Campaigns can be adjusted instantly to keep up with fast-changing shopper trends.
In competitive cities like Miami and Boca Raton, programmatic methods give local brands an advantage, helping them connect with Florida’s holiday shoppers and improve brand engagement.
Current Trends in Programmatic for the 2024 Holiday Season
A few important trends are shaping how advertisers can optimize holiday campaigns in 2024.
1. AI-Enhanced Personalization
AI-powered ad tech allows brands to create more personal experiences by tailoring ads to individual users based on browsing behavior, purchase history, and demographics. This technology can adjust ads to reflect factors like:
Past Interactions: Ads are customized based on what users have previously viewed or purchased, showing items similar to or related to their interests. For holiday shoppers, this means ads that remind them of products they browsed or suggest complementary gift ideas.
Context: AI can modify ad content depending on the time of day, day of the week, or even local weather conditions. For instance, a user might see different ads on a weekend versus a weekday or see rain gear ads when a storm is forecasted in their area.
Consumer Preferences: By analyzing user preferences and previous engagement, AI can display ads with specific product colors, styles, or types that appeal to the shopper’s taste, making each ad feel more relevant and timely.
Personalized ads are especially effective for the holidays when customers are looking for unique gift ideas. AI helps tailor holiday messaging to make each interaction feel relevant and timely.
“Leveraging AI for personalization in programmatic advertising helps make ads feel less like interruptions and more like real conversations,”
Darren Seys, Peak Seven CEO
2. Interactive Ads
Interactive formats, such as playable ads or shoppable videos, engage users by inviting them to explore the product directly. Ads like these are especially engaging, keeping viewers interested longer than static ads might. Interactive formats can include features like holiday-specific filters, “try it out” options, or engaging seasonal visuals.
For example, a shoppable video might show how to use a product and allow users to purchase with one click. Interactive formats are proving particularly effective for younger demographics and mobile users.
3. Predictive Analytics for Strategy Adjustments
Predictive analytics enable brands to adjust strategies based on anticipated shopping trends. By analyzing past performance and real-time data, brands can better understand which products might trend in the upcoming season, allowing them to refine inventory, bids, and ad messaging early.
At Peak Seven, our team uses these analytics to anticipate shifts in shopper demand, adjusting ad campaigns to keep them relevant. Predictive insights help you stay responsive to changes in consumer interests and ensure your campaign reaches the right audience.
Ad Formats That Work Best for Holiday Campaigns
Choosing the right creative ad format can significantly impact how well your holiday campaign resonates with your target demographic.
Display Ads: These are ideal for creating quick visual impact and work well for promotions. Using festive themes, bold colors, and limited-time offers can make display ads effective attention-grabbers during the holiday rush.
Video Ads: Video ads are great for storytelling and showcasing products in use, letting consumers imagine the products in their own lives. As Seys points out, “Video allows brands to connect through narrative, which resonates strongly during the holidays.”
Native Ads: These ads blend into the surrounding content, creating a more seamless user experience. Native ads are ideal for reaching those who are already browsing and may be looking for holiday ideas, as they feel less disruptive than standard ads.
In Boca Raton, brands using a mix of these formats can attract shoppers effectively across various digital touchpoints, connecting with both new and returning customers.
Optimizing Campaigns as Holiday Shopping Evolves
One of the biggest advantages of digital ad buying is real-time adaptability. During the holiday season, shopping behaviors change quickly, and staying responsive to trends is crucial. Here’s how to keep campaigns optimized:
Monitor Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): Track essential metrics like click-through rate (CTR), conversions, and return on ad spend (ROAS). Successful ads can have their budgets expanded while low-performing ones can be paused or adjusted.
Bid Adjustments: Demand spikes can drive up ad costs, so be prepared to adjust bids as competition increases. Keep an eye on high-performing placements and reduce focus on less impactful ones.
Audience Segmentation: Segmenting your audience by factors like demographics and purchase behavior allows for more precise targeting. You can allocate more resources to the segments that show the highest engagement, optimizing budget use and improving overall performance.
In high-demand areas such as Florida, maintaining flexibility and regularly optimizing campaigns based on performance data is essential for maximizing holiday reach and engagement.
Using Data to Refine and Improve
Effective ad campaigns rely on data. As your holiday campaigns progress, use data on engagement, demographics, and conversions to refine and improve your targeting.
Identify Peak Times: Analyze data to see when users are most active, and adjust scheduling to align with those hours.
A/B Testing: Test variations in ad copy and imagery to find out what resonates best with shoppers.
Refine Messaging: As shopping preferences shift throughout the season, adapt ad content to focus on popular products, exclusive offers, or new arrivals.
Data-driven insights help make ad campaigns relevant to your audience. At Peak Seven, our team in Boca Raton uses these techniques to help clients maximize campaign effectiveness and reach their ideal demographic.
