All the strategists at the agency gathered together to find insights and understand the relationship Brazilians have with the event. One of my teammates showed us a Google Trends graph with two terms and their volumes of search in the past years. The terms were \u2018Sex\u2019 and \u2018World Cup\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We all know that \u2018Sex\u2019 is commonly searched online worldwide, that the number of searches is relatively consistent across the year \u2013 and usually higher than the interest for \u2018World Cup\u2019\u201d. Although the overall interest for \u2018sex\u2019 doesn\u2019t diminish during the World Cup, the interest in football peaks every four years, surpassing the interest for \u2018sex\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That little piece of data showed us how obsessed Brazilians can be with the World Cup, but as interesting as this insight can be, transforming it into something creative is what makes a difference in advertising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve always seen data as raw human behaviour. How people navigate your website, what kind of words they search for to reach your brand and even the time of the day they are interacting most with your content can provide insights on how to communicate with customers and better meet their needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather than being the enemy of creativity, data has revolutionised creative campaigns \u2013 providing far more informative insights on the consumer and their quirks in behaviour than creatives might expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take car advertising \u2013 we all recognise the TV advertising classic image of a shiny new car effortlessly driving around an exotic location, or styled in a futuristic dark studio. But data also shows that buyers spend more time looking at images of the inside before buying, and advertising doesn\u2019t focus on that enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, when I was working with Fiat, we were able to access insights on how consumers actually configure vehicles, and specific car models. We found that online shoppers view cars from the inside out, and depending on the level of internal technology, they could even dismiss the design of the outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paying attention to that information and the data report can help us navigate the sea of sameness we see in some industries, disrupt the norm and find something a little bit more interesting (and relevant) to talk about. This is the rewarding challenge of being a strategist: to encourage creative teams to make the most of the right information and approach, while balancing the impact on creative thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When fighting for attention has become harder than ever, data is our best ally to supercharge creative thinking. In fact, last year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/capabilities\/growth-marketing-and-sales\/our-insights\/the-growth-triple-play-creativity-analytics-and-purpose\">McKinsey<\/a> found that businesses that have successfully integrated creativity and analytics have grown <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/business-functions\/marketing-and-sales\/our-insights\/the-most-perfect-union\">twice as fast<\/a> as those that haven\u2019t. Perhaps it\u2019s time to abandon the classic image of the car, and with the help of the data team, make the most of facts and figures to reconfigure automotive advertising for a new generation of consumers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When fighting for attention has become harder than ever, data is our best ally to supercharge creative
