Tomilli : In an industry as dynamic as advertising, how can you build long relationships with customers?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Honesty. Full-on brave honesty. We can no longer face them as consumers. Brands are engaging with people, with humans. I say the most successful brand\/human relationships are born of honest\/brave\/simple ideas.<\/p>\n

What about creative teams?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Creatives are humans too. Somehow, we think less about consumers as these distant, exotic creatures we must engage, and more what if it was me? Relatability and consequently honesty.<\/p>\n

Simple is smart?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Simple will always be smart, effective, brilliant, relatable. The best ideas are simple and should be written in our contracts when we join agencies.<\/p>\n

How do you manage to channel creative passion for projects that may not require creativity, such as retail for example?<\/strong><\/p>\n

All projects require\/deserve creativity. If any creative ever believed the contrary they are not deserving of the client\u2019s trust. All problems that brands face, from a campaign to a digital solution, require a brave creative approach. So trying to answer this question (even though I don\u2019t agree with it) all clients deserve creative passion and drive from their partners (agencies).<\/p>\n

How to make passion inspiring?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Believing in the brand\/product. One of my principles is to fully understand the brand, only knowledge creates truthful, meaningful ideas.<\/p>\n

Could Tonic be classified as one of the most creative agencies in the region?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes. We use data and strategy to help form our creative ideas. Again, knowledge feeds the idea passionately.<\/p>\n

As a WINA jury, what will be your greatest requirement in the creative judging of the pieces?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Purpose. The best creative always celebrates purpose. The best ideas are nothing but an honest, standing ovation to a brand or a product. So that is what I always look for, the equation:<\/p>\n

Knowledge + Purpose = Creative.<\/p>\n
