今天起開始作坎城廣告節的行前準備。先來研究一下今年度首創的坎城公關獎是在搞什麼東東。今年度當然已經來不及報名了,但是可以考慮一下在2010年度比賽一下。
先講一下題外話,Naoki Ito(伊藤直樹)2月份來台北參加擒獅專案時,在擒獅高峰會上(廣告公司跟數位公司創意總監參加的大師課)解釋了公關跟廣告活動,特別是整合或數位廣告活動的重要性。Naoki說,他自己創作時會很注重公關成份,而且把公關當作整體創意的一部份來創作,因為你可以去搞一個很厲害的網站什麼的,但是你要怎麼把人召到你的網站?就要靠公關的操作。他還舉他的新作Love Distance為例,先在日本甄選遠距戀愛的戀人,讓大家追蹤他們跑向對方的整個過程,而且採用所謂(愛創名詞的Ito桑自創的新名詞)“蒙蔽式的品牌娛樂”(Blind Branded Entertainment)來讓媒體和部落客報導,就是一個以公關為主的創意。所以,公關不是公關公司的專利,越來越多的廣告創意中有公關元素的配合,想必這也是為什麼坎城獎在09年度增設了公關獎。
坎城的各種獎的結構都是這樣的:先有分產品類的競賽,其次是技術類(通常是分媒體類)競賽。坎城公關獎的分類是:

最後題外話:這學期我用Future Lions的簡報來教書,我發現學生在選題時碰到相當大的阻礙。女學生想出來都是服飾或配件不然就是在哪打工就想哪家的活動,男生都想3C產品。其實應該拿這個分類表幫助學生全部看一次,應該可以幫助他們擴展選題的範圍。
我曾經是廣告系學生過,我覺得可以先叫學生挑一個最有興趣的產業,研究別人作品,然後自己因為研究過,知道產品、市場、消費者等等。
他們發想時比較會有著力點。
