7. Anritsu VectorStar “Curiosity”
Anritsu makes test and measurement instruments used
by electronic engineers in designing, testing and
troubleshooting products
They introduced the Vector Network Analyzer in 1965
Most of Anritsu’s products are industry leaders but they

25. In-Trial Marketing Objective/Hypothesis
• Convert Trial users to purchasers
• Hypothesis: the more engaged the trial user, the
higher the likelihood to buy
Data points:
• Simple, straight forward content got clicked on
the most
• The more persona targeted the content, the
better the results
• 80% of trial users only open trial once
26. Enter Gamification
Not necessarily a “game” but leverages game mechanics and
psychology to engage trial user.

What You Need to Understand: Connecting game mechanics + audience
targeted, compelling content to an ordinary tutorial drove our key
objective higher than any previous attempt
41. That’s great, but what about non-gamer
audiences?
“snackable learning
content” + audience
appropriate tone + user
feedback (a la fitbit
progress bars and
positive feedback)
42. How to talk to your doctor: creating
great advertising in the
pharmaceutical industry
Philip Reynolds
Palio+Ignite
44. The solution: insight-based
advertising with some kick
• Learn about your target and discover a deep
insight about them
• If possible, find a competitive advantage for
your product
• Build to a differentiating position
• Execute against a single-minded idea
45. Emotional insight: Stribild
• HIV medication launched in 2012
• Benefit: 1-pill-a-day convenience
• Insight: starting HIV therapy means you’re sick,
life is over
• Solution: Starting Stribild means you’re
starting a new, better phase of life
47. Emotional insight: Brevibloc
• Intravenous heart rate agent used in hospital
critical care
– Requires monitoring/allows adjusting
• Critical care physician needs to feel like a lifesaver in command
• “Minority Report” concept turns potential
drawback into benefit by feeding need to be a
hero in control
50. Being single-minded: Creon
• Market-leading pill for exocrine pancreatic
insufficiency (inability to digest food)
• Used in wide variety of conditions and patient
types, by many different kinds of physicians—
can there be a unifying creative idea?
• Analogy of mining equipment creates a simple
icon of a hard-working, dependable brand
52. Being bold: Colcrys
• Gout medicine with long history
• Relaunched on news that it is packaged in a
lower dose yet just as effective
• Creative idea answers the question, What if
you take something strong and ask it to
behave a little more sensitively?
54. As it is in my business, so shall it be
in yours
• Communicate with a simple idea
• Build the idea from an insight about your
customer
• Don’t be afraid to be different
• Find your industry’s beach, and stay far away from
it!
55. You’ve mastered the theory, now
put it into practice

session’s categories with the

This company took a different approach. They would create an offer that sounded “just for you” and they would provide concierge service instead of the boiler room phone trees. They could do this because a lot of audience information was in the public record. They knew when you bought your home and from that they could find out what your interest rate was at that time. And, they knew who you got your loan from. So they created a list of Union Bank customers exclusively—that’s one of the largest mortgage lenders in the Bay Area—and made the promise that “as a Union Bank customer you are prequalified for a no-cost refinance of your mortgage that could lower your rate and potentially save hundreds of dollars per month.
And the letter goes on to say that ‘because your home is financed through Union Bank you can look forward to simplified paperwork and a faster decision.” Of course, because they’ll be going back to Union Bank where your previous application is on file. And they promise that when you call “the telephone will be answered by a real person who will get the process started immediately. You will never have to deal with phone menus or voice mail, or waste time waiting to speak to a live person.” So, a direct counter to the tactics that the homeowner may have experienced from other refi offers.
Welcome to KISS—keys to copy and content that generate results. Your panelists are Dawn Wolf who is director of in-trial marketing at Autodesk, and Philip Reynolds who is associate creative director at Palio Ignite. In a moment they’ll show you examples of KISS marketing for professional software and pharmaceuticals, respectively, but first I’ll say a few words to set the stage. I’m Otis Maxwell, a freelance copywriter, and I’ll show you a couple of examples as well. The rules of the “back by popular demand” sessions are that the themes are carried over, but any case histories are completely new. By the way, our presentations are separate but related, so we’d appreciate it if you’d hold questions till the end.
What’s true in advertising generally is also true in pharma: At Palio+Ignite our approach is to communicate a simple idea that connects with an emotional insight about the target. You need a distinct positioning, you need a good brief.
