The core task of this step is to comprehensively understand the market environment and competitive landscape of the brand, providing data support for subsequent advertising strategy development. Through systematic market research, grasp industry development trends, consumer demand changes, and competitor advertising strategies, identifying brand market opportunities and differentiated competitive advantages. Research results directly influence advertising strategy direction and creative concept development, forming the foundation of the entire advertising plan.

• Apply PEST analysis and Porter's Five Forces model to analyze macro market environment and industry competition, collect industry reports and market data, assess market size and growth potential
• Select 3-5 main competitors, systematically collect their advertising campaigns from the past year, conduct comparative analysis from four dimensions: creative strategy, media mix, communication rhythm, and performance
• Design consumer survey questionnaires combined with in-depth interviews to understand target audience media habits, purchase decision paths, and brand perception status, forming user personas

This step focuses on defining the communication target of advertising and the brand's communication positioning, solving the core questions of "who to say to" and "what to say." Through in-depth consumer insights, establish accurate target audience personas and determine the unique position the brand should occupy in consumers' minds. Clear audience and brand positioning serve as the compass for creative development, ensuring all subsequent advertising creativity revolves around core objectives.

• Build user personas using demographic, psychological, and behavioral dimensions, including age/gender, lifestyle, values, consumption habits, and media preferences, create user journey maps
• Apply positioning theory and brand mental model combined with SWOT analysis results, determine the brand's core value proposition and differentiated selling points, write brand positioning statement
• Design communication pyramid, clarify core target audience, secondary target audience, and influencer groups, develop differentiated communication strategies and messaging for each level

This step is the creative core of advertising planning, transitioning from strategic thinking to creative expression, transforming abstract brand positioning into perceptible creative concepts. Through systematic creative development methods, generate multiple creative directions and select the core concept with the highest communicative power and executability. The creative brief bridges strategy and execution, providing clear guidance for subsequent specific advertising production.

• Use brainstorming, mind mapping, and Six Thinking Hats as creative development tools, generate at least 20 creative ideas around the core creative theme, conduct creative convergence and screening
• Evaluate creative proposals from four dimensions: relevance, originality, impact, and executability, determine 1-2 core creative concepts, write creative concept statements
• Produce formal Creative Brief including project background, marketing objectives, target audience, core message, creative tone, media considerations, timeline, and budget

This step translates creative concepts into concrete advertising works, conducting creative adaptation and production according to the characteristics of different media. Each medium has its unique communication language and technical requirements, requiring targeted creative transformation and execution. High-quality advertising materials are key to ensuring communication effectiveness, requiring professional standards in both creative expressiveness and technical specification.

• TV/Video advertising: Write shooting scripts, use cinematic language to design narrative rhythm, produce storyboards, clarify the synergy between visuals, sound, and subtitles
• Print advertising: Use Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator for visual design, follow layout design principles, ensure clear information hierarchy of headline, subhead, body copy, and logo
• Digital advertising: Design adapted versions for social media, feed ads, splash screens and other formats, use motion graphics and interactive design to enhance user engagement, ensure accurate size specifications

This step is the concluding phase of advertising planning, developing a complete media placement plan and evaluation system to ensure advertising messages accurately reach the target audience and are measurable. Scientific media mix maximizes communication efficiency, and a comprehensive evaluation mechanism verifies advertising effectiveness and provides a basis for subsequent optimization. This step outputs the complete advertising campaign proposal as the guiding document for project execution.

• Use media evaluation metrics such as GRP, CPM, CPC, and CPA, combined with target audience media habits, design integrated online-offline media mix strategy and placement schedule
• Establish KPI evaluation system, set quantitative indicators from four levels: brand awareness, brand preference, purchase intention, and sales conversion, design pre-test, mid-test, and post-test evaluation plans
• Integrate all content into a complete advertising proposal including executive summary, market analysis, strategic planning, creative execution, media plan, effectiveness evaluation, budget allocation, and timeline
