Concepts

Concepts pinpoint the direction of your brand’s messaging for a set of batches. Each batch belonging to a concept uses the concept’s positioning elements in AI generations.

Note

The creative strategist should make a conscious effort to keep the produced creative as close as possible to the selected positioning, so they can get the most value out of the analytics.

Understanding Concepts

A concept ties together several positioning elements to create a targeted creative direction:

  • Offer: The product or service being promoted
  • Persona: The target audience segment for this concept
  • Core Emotion: The primary emotional driver to leverage
  • Problem: The specific pain point being addressed
  • Sophistication Stage: The market’s familiarity with solutions
  • Awareness State: The audience’s current awareness level
  • Trigger Event: Optional contextual event that makes the messaging timely

Managing Concepts

Step 1: Select Offer

Choose the offer to use for this concept.

Step 2: Select Persona

Choose the target persona for this concept from your existing personas.

Step 3: Select Core Emotion

Select the primary emotional driver from the emotions associated with your chosen persona. Core emotions help guide the tone and appeal of your messaging.

Step 4: Select Problem

Choose the problem or pain point this concept will address. Problems are filtered based on the selected persona.

  • Stage 3: Crowded market, need unique mechanisms
  • Stage 4: Saturated market, need proof and specificity

  • Most Aware

Step 7: Select Trigger Event (Optional)

Optionally select a trigger event that provides context or urgency for the messaging.

Step 8: Enter Details For the Batch

Important

When you create a new concept, the first batch for it will be automatically created based on the batch details.

  • Provide a descriptive name for the concept.
  • Select Media Format (Video or Static)
  • Assign the team members responsible for that batch.
  • Click “Create” to save the concept

Updating a Concept

From the concept page, you can:

Caution

Be very careful when updating concepts that contain published batches as the creatives might not follow the concept’s direction anymore. This will cause false data in the analytics.
