With two out of five children in England unable to read English to the
required standard, research discovered that parents found the book at
bedtime routine a chore. Planning was responsible for identifying the
lateral thinking at the heart of the creative solution: to think of
reading as more than just the book at bedtime: ie recipes, football
programmes, road signs, instructions for toys.

Product: Anti-smoking
To get young female smokers to quit, an immediate and relevant motive
was needed. The planning process discovered new facts about the effects
of smoking on a young smoker’s skin. The judges admired the
indefatigable performance of planning in this case: ’method planning’
(observation, cultural detective work and more formal research
approaches) helped redefine advertising’s role as fact-finder for the
creatives.
