Ad Agency Answers 140-Character Twitter Briefs in 24 Hours

Ad Agency Answers 140-Character Twitter Briefs in 24 Hours | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Using Twitter as a medium, the World's Fastest Agency will respond from briefing to idea within 24 hours. A networked team of creatives in New York launched a new service that meets the demand for rapid turnaround advertising.

 

Using Twitter as a medium, the World's Fastest Agency will respond from briefing to idea within 24 hours. Outputs will include tag lines, product and service naming, communications platforms and (of course) stunts. According to its press release: WFA helps time-pressured clients keep pace with the lightening fast 24/7 global media and social culture.

 

Clients can say goodbye to 100-page PowerPoint decks, meetings, weeks of fee negotiation, countless emails, more meetings, lunch, meetings, scope of work to-ing and fro-ing, meetings, more emails, Q&A sessions, tissue meetings, inaudible conference call, pitch, feedback, feedback on the feedback, re-briefing, re-pitching, another meeting, more feedback, focus groups, another meeting, more emails….

 

A three-step process involves the deposit of a one-time fee of $999 via PayPal, the sending of a brief to @fastestagency, and then the turnaround of an idea via Twitter direct message within 24 hours.... 

Jeff Domansky's insight:

It's a novel approach. The critical questions:  Will clients get enough solid advice to work with? is this agency business model sustainable or is it simply a good publicity stunt?

 

IMHO, it's definitely a good publicity stunt.

...We are still very much in the ideas business. Despite how much more sophisticated the algorithms get at search, contextual and behavioral ad serving, advertising still has to move you. And that comes down to the kind of creative that makes you feel an emotion... not just "think" or push you into "lower funnel" activation as many marketers are so anxious to do.

 

This means drawing you in, getting you involved, and making you react emotionally, which is just as important on a hand-held device as it is in a 30-second TV spot. Creatively, this has been the challenge for the web banner, the video pre-roll, and even the next in-app-native touch-screen rich-media ad. These units may drive our impression-based ad-supported model, but they've yet to adequately prove the ability to make the consumer feel....
