In an effort to reduce costs and boost profits, Super agency
BDBBOO & D has replaced its creative departments with a series of tablets
called iCreate, These new tablets come in three models: iCopywriter, iAD, and iCD.
Sir Norbert Compostheap IV, the agency's chairman says that with the
iCreate "We can produce a constant stream of innovative, engaging content
and ads for our clients while saving a bundle."
Compostheap says it was only a matter of time before technology caught
up to the creative process and "that time is now." For instance, he expects to save $2.3 million
on coffee and snacks at each agency per year and substantially more than that
with the elimination of the Friday Beer cart.
"It's amazing how many things we found we could cut once we decided
to move to the iCreate studio. Hell, we
don't even need to pay for heating or lights.
Win!"
Here's how it works. The
account executive sends a six to ten key-word creative brief to a designated
iCreate team. Once downloaded, iCopywriter
builds a copy deck from a database of 250,000,000 client- and legal department
approved words. At the same time, iAD, using a pre-approved colour palette and font, as well
as the proprietary Logo-Be-Larger™ and Whitespace Eraser™ apps, produces
pre-approved, press/html-ready Mac art. Once complete, these
documents are automatically uploaded to iCD, which combines the copy and artwork
into a presentation format complete with 237 words of laudatory sell copy for
the account executive to use during the client presentation. The whole process takes about 3.5 minutes. Compostheap says clients will love it, too, because
changes can be made in seconds and there is no, absolutely no pushback from
iCreate. "It simply makes the
changes without the fucking attitude."
