Concepting is the process of generating ideas to creatively solve a problem. Often misunderstood as part of the larger creative or technological process, concepting helps an organization or team to generate and solidify ideas and solutions to complex business challenges.

Creative concept development, or the creation of the, “Big Idea” is a key part of any project. Concept Development is not only the process of generating ideas to creatively solve a problem, It is the core function of any project or campaign where ideas are conceived, shared, rationalized, and balanced against the core goals of a brand or target audience.

Often overlooked as part of the larger creative or technological process, effective creative concepting can help your organization to work through creative problems, understand potential solutions, and collectively generate ideas to complex business challenges. Concepting is an artform that leverages creativity, strategy, and a true understanding of a business or brand to develop a plan of action to capture a customers interest and emotional engagement across the entire customer journey.

Always starting with insights and data that distill down into a clear and concise creative brief, we ensure that concepts are informed by a strong understanding of the key business goals, audience needs, targeted channels, and the overarching campaign objective of our clients and partners. Once established and validated, concepts are curated, flushed out, and presented back to our partners where they are chosen and fine tuned into workable forms.
