TBWA\ Design sent the client’s creative brief back

March 26, 2013

Although TBWA\Hunt\Lascaris (South Africa) is well established as an above-the-line agency, their clients were yet to be introduced to the wealth of talent that TBWA\ Design has to offer. So, to get their clients’ attention, they intercepted existing above-the-line creative briefs and used the physical advertising brief as their canvas.

Instead of answering the brief in a traditional manner, TBWA\ Design conceptualized various designs that captured the essence of the brands, then brought them to life using only the cardboard job bags and the briefs that were attached to them.  TBWA\ Design created intricate pieces of paper art, transforming their clients’ briefs into multi-dimensional design pieces.

They then sent their clients’ briefs back to them, proving that TBWA\ Design can do amazing things with their briefs.  The campaign was a huge success. The design studio received their first new brief from a client just 5 days later. Even more notably, new design work in the system rose by 450% within the first 6 weeks.

Great idea TBWA\ Design.
