Before you start

1. What is the concept of marketing creativity? What are the characteristics of marketing creativity?
A marketing idea is a three-step marketing plan that is thought through, summarized, and executed by Marketing. The purpose of planning is to ensure that a company can capture the attention of consumers, thereby increasing sales. In a fast-moving market, effective marketing creative can bring unexpected results to a company, making customers more aware of the company's business, increasing brand exposure, and boosting sales. Marketing creativity is characterized by fast results and low investment, with the help of the Internet, traditional media, and word-of-mouth publicity to achieve the best results.

2. What is a creative idea and how to come up with one?
Creativity means to think out of the established framework and rethink the existing concepts to create new works. Creative ideas are like infectious diseases. They make your copy more interesting and readily appealing to your target audience, thus promoting brand conversion and communication. "Creativity" is an abstract term, and some people even get creative ideas through different forms such as reading, insights, experiences, travel, movies, books, life, etc.


3. What is an advertising proposal? What is necessary?
An "advertising proposal" is a written report that addresses the client's requirements through visual and auditory aids, in which different advertising and communication methods are used. It is the most common method of communication between the company and the client. The company presents the proposal to the client in a lively manner to address the client's needs and to win the client's approval and appreciation.If you don't understand something in the proposal, you should ask the client immediately so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstanding.
