5. What do you
think is the role
of modern
planner?
First off:
#InspiringCreativity
6. “You never plan
alone”
“It’s about getting
everyone in, and
allied, around the
North Star: “Where
are we
heading?” .And the
organizing idea to
get there.” #InspiringCreativity
7. “Articulate the
problem the client
needs solving. A
good brief is not
about what a client
wants, it’s what it
needs.”
“The role of a
planner is to make
sense of a client’s
lazy business
problem.”
#InspiringCreativity
8. “To maximise
planning one must
know and be aware of
all media and how to
use them; including
spontaneous tweeting
and reactive videos”
“Be both slow and
fast. Slow
planning to build
the brand.
Fast planning to
respond to any
real time
opportunities with
modern media.”
#InspiringCreativity
9. “To find a unique
insight. To simplify
complex modern
marketing. And
most of all; to
inspire.
“To inspire
creatives to do F*&
%@* amazing work
- that works.”
#InspiringCreativity
39. “If I had one hour to solve a
problem; and my life
depended on the solution. I
would spend 55 minutes on
defining the problem and five
minutes on the solution. For
once I have properly
defined the problem I
could easily solve it in less
than 5 minutes.“ #InspiringCreativity

“People don’t care
what you do, but
why you do it. Martin
Luther King, didn’t
say: I have a mission
statement” now did
he?”
- Tim Polder
41. “I did not have time
to write a short
letter, so I wrote a
long one instead.”
- Mark Twain
