An enlightening sharing session on creative branding from Mr. Thanh Tung at Tubudd. Explore value creation vs. destruction, key elements of creativity, and implications for innovative brand strategies in today's dynamic market.
Last Friday, Tubudd hosted an enlightening morning session on creative thinking in branding, featuring esteemed guest speaker Mr. Thanh Tung, a seasoned expert with over a decade of experience in the creative industry and communications management for luxury brands. The session delved into the nuances of value creation and destruction in creativity, along with essential elements for fostering innovative brand strategies.
Mr. Tung emphasized the critical need to consider both value creation and destruction when developing creative content. He highlighted that any creative endeavor will have its admirers and critics, underscoring the importance of audience segmentation in communication strategies. By selecting the appropriate target audience, communicators can minimize the risk of value destruction.
Two intriguing case studies were examined:
Balenciaga's Controversial Campaign: Mr. Tung discussed the provocative nature of Balenciaga's kids' outfit campaign, which sparked strong reactions due to its BDSM-inspired theme. This example illustrated how certain creative expressions can inadvertently erode brand value by alienating or offending audiences.
Disney's Little Mermaid: The contrasting reactions to Disney's reimagining of 'The Little Mermaid' underscored the significance of social context in creative reception. When the cultural values differ in each part of the globe, understanding audience sensitivities is crucial to avoiding value system clashes.
Mr. Tung encapsulated the lesson with a profound statement: "Creativity itelf has no limit, although when it is put in a certain context, the content becomes the limit of creation."
Key Insights on Creative Elements
The session outlined three fundamental elements of creativity:
Research: A deep understanding of brand identity and customer preferences is imperative for effective communication.
Staying Updated: Continuous market awareness enables brands to adapt and innovate in response to evolving trends.
Naivety: An open-minded, unbiased approach fosters the best creative outcomes, encouraging fresh perspectives.
