The document discusses various topics related to copywriting and evolving media, including the death of advertising, crowdsourcing content, social media campaigns, and endlines. It provides several case studies of companies that have used crowdsourcing for content, including Coca-Cola receiving over 3,600 submissions for an Asia campaign brief from the creative community. The document also examines whether large budgets are still needed for campaigns, pointing to examples like a campaign that raised over $100,000 with a small budget. It concludes by exploring what makes a good endline or slogan, quoting various advertising experts on how endlines should be memorable and represent the brand.

The Endline
41. Obviously Coke is accustomed to seeing consumer-generated content as we have
huge online communities, but its always been seen as a way to drive engagement
rather than a possible source for brand building or for external messaging.
It was originally something we did on a big scale in Asia, but was largely done as an
experiment.
We had trouble cracking some positioning for Coke, so thought we would open it up
and invite the creative community to interpret this brief as our agencies were having
some difficulty.
Leonardo OGrady, Asia Pacific Director, Coca-Cola
42. The results were amazing; we had around 3,600 responses, which we werent
expecting at all.
We were also blown away by the quality of the submissions and to be honest some
of the film quality was better than we get from our global agency partners.
43. In the end we got it down to about 10 high quality submissions to choose the winner
from, and to make it more interesting we invited the creative directors and heads of
marketing from some big companies like Diageo, Nokia and so on to come and
evaluate the work.
Our Chinese office then picked it up and they used the winning idea for a broader
consumer commercial idea.
They invited Chinese consumers to interpret the brief in their own way and do China
proud, and they had something like 1m people contribute ideas.
54. I believe that agencies who
continue with a sixty year old
model will die. It's time to
iterate again. Get rid of
creative departments and
production teams. Have an
entire floor of imagineers who
consider technology first, as a
creative expression and not as
the nuts and bolts you
address at the end. Brands
and agencies that do that will
reap the rewards of the
future.

73. An endline is to deliver a USP or branding. It is
not there for mood, or tone of voice, or to attract
a new generation of users. If you have a five-year
idea, thats your endline.
Dave Trott, Walsh Trott Chick Smith
74. I dont think theyre good if theyre just
confectionery. They must mean something.
They can be a useful centre of gravity for a
campaign.

75. One of the great forgotten skills in
advertising is consistency. We are not
living through a vintage time with endlines.
They dont get time to become established.
Agencies get bored with them and clients
have a not invented here attitude.
