Selling Creative WorkThis course is designed specifically to help Advertising Agencies to present creative work to clients in a way that maximises the chance of the client buying the work. The course offers some valuable insights into the clients' view of the creative presentation meeting, both in terms of how clients feel at these meetings and also the evaluative processes that some of them use. Interestingly, the biggest single criticism that some eighty clients who were researched had of agencies' creative presentations was that they failed to bring the work to life or sell it! The course combines highly actionable theory with a high level of practical exercises in order to help participants to bring creative work to life and to sell it in such a way that the client is given the confidence to buy it. The process of selling work well is broken down into its component parts - positioning the idea, presenting it, and summarising its strengths. The course also includes two original presentations, one of which can be used to help to persuade clients that emotional communication can be as commercially valuable as rational communication, whilst the other helps to distinguish between advertising idea and execution. The course is extremely cost efficient. A number of London agencies have calculated that, given the time and overhead costs of producing a single creative idea to script stage, if just one of the participants on the course is able to sell one script in the twelve months following the course that they otherwise would not have sold the entire course has been paid for several times over. Cost & Venue2 day course for a maximum of 8 people = £8,150 + VAT The course fee does not include travel (Business Class where relevant), overnight accommodation, and subsistence which we will arrange for ourselves, nor does it include a meeting room and all necessary technical equipment which should be chosen and booked by the client. Courses held outside the UK may attract a premium. Please ask for a quotation.
