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.
