This document discusses creativity in advertising and the creative process. It provides two perspectives on advertising creativity - the "Suits" view that creativity is only valid if it sells, and the "Poets" view that prioritizes originality. The document also outlines Young's and Wallas's models of the creative process, both of which involve preparation, incubation, illumination, and verification stages. Finally, it notes the importance of research inputs like market trends, product studies, and consumer feedback to fuel the creative development process.

3. Creativity in Advertising
• Creative advertising ideas are those that are
novel, original and appropriate.
• To be appropriate a creative idea must be relevant or
have some importance to the target audience.
• The research, creative briefs, strategy
statements, communication objectives and other inputs
must be transformed into an advertising message.
• Copy, Layouts and illustrations, commercials that
communicate effectively.

4. Young's Creative Process
• Immersion : Getting raw material or data, immersing
one's self in the problem to get background.
• Digestion: Ruminating on the data acquired, turning
it this way and that in the mind.
• Incubation: Ceasing analysis and putting the problem
out of conscious mind for a time.
• Illumination: Often a sudden inspiration or intuitive
revelation about a potential solution.
• Verification: Studying the idea, evaluating it, and
developing it for practical usefulness.
