I'm re:llly tired ofliving inP:lris. It's so stressful here, everyone rushing around, trying to makemoney. I wouldn't mind moving to a quieter area. BeallCh:lmp soundsquite nice, and the countrySide outside the town is pleasant, I believe.What about you, Paolo? Do YOll think the move will be good for us?P l :lm absolutely :lgainst it. It will upset families and C:luse a lot ofproblems for some staff. I will have to sell my :lp:lrtment ifwe move.I only bought it last year, so I will prob:lbly lose a lot of money - Idon't think 1 will get any compensation for that, do you? You don'tagree,Jean Pierre, 1 can see that.JP Well, you're right, Paolo, it'll cause a lot of problems, there's no doubtabout that. But the company will benefit :l lot, and th:lt"s important,too.
In the long run, the move will increase our revenuc, make liSmore competitive and keep us in jobs. 111at's a good reason formoving, isn't it, Carl? What do you think?C Maybe, but I feel pretty depressed at the moment. I hope they'llpostpone the proposal. 111ere's a lot ofb:ld fecling :lbout it.

The first stage is to identify the brieffrom the client and to agree the briefwith the client. It is at this stagethat we tend to agree the objectives I referred to carlier - what willmake the client happy after this campaign has been aired?111e second stage is then to take that briefand articulate it for thepeople in our organisations who have to make recommendations andhave idcas about the campaign itself. At this stagc, wc brief creativepeople to come up with idcas and media peoplc to ask, to have ideasabout which channels thosc ideas will be seen in.111e third stage will be the presentation of those ideas to the client.111ere is then some debate ... that debate process can go on for quitea long time until there's agreement.
At that point of agreement, weget into the execution phase. 111e execution phase is where we thenproduce the creative material and buy the space and the places in thechannels of distribution for that material.COl TRACK 33 (I = INTERVIEWER, MR = MARCO RIMINI)ICan you give us an example of a successful new media campaign?MR One of the most successful new media campaigns, from one of theclients that uses new media best, is Nike. Nike, of course, have a youngaudience who are very literate about the new media and therefore livetheir lives in th:lt media.
And so rather than simply use advcrtisingon television to talk to this youthful audience, what Nike does is theystart seeding viral campaigns. And viral campaigns are pieces of filmor pieces of content which they hope will be picked up by individualswho see it - perhaps on YouTube - and passed on to their friends withcomments to say, 'Look at this piece offilm. Isn't it fantastic?'Perhaps the most famous piece ofNike viral was Ronaldinho, thefootballer, appearing to be able to, er, lob the ball directly onto thegoalpost - er, goal bar - and it bouncing back to him, ten times - :lpiece of outrageous skill which is just about believable, and then theviral campaign actually became about was it real or was it faked? Soit was not only an entertaining piece of film, but it generated its ownPR, public-relations exercise, it generated its own gOSSip on the web.111e answer was, it was fake.COl TRACK 3412Could I have your attention, please?
