Spirits were high last Friday when Business Director of DDB Shanghai Angie Wong announced that the tradition of celebrating birthday with teammates  might be history, instead replaced with a bigger, better present ... A day off! The management team generously decided that the birthday boys and girls of DDB North China in the Beijing and Shanghai offices can now have their special day to themselves. 

Amidst the ecstatic cheering and occasional disbelief, employees naturally voiced concern about birthdays clashing with weekends and holidays. Management however had already considered these potential issues, and put forward the official new policy that everyone was entitled to a one-day leave within their birthday month. 

BBQ event Agie.jpg

DDBers chased down this delectable news with gourmet grub at the seasonal barbeque, an event that has become somewhat of a tradition in the Shanghai office. "We have the barbeque event several times a year; it's been like this for several years. It's a great opportunity for people to get some food and relax," says Group Creative Director Nic Brennan.

BBQ Events.jpg

Slabs of grilled pork, gigantic sausages and fresh potato salad were washed down with cold beer and wine, leaving people satisfied and well on their way to food comas. Some people didn't touch a bite the entire day in order to save space for that evening's event. Account Executive Nic Hu, who first joined us as an intern in the DDB LaunchPad Program, commended the food and told us in between mouthfuls that she would very much support more activities that involved chow. "Food is always a must for activities. As long as there is food available, I will definitely come." Noted, Ms Hu!

Apart from foodies like Nic, planner Sarah Zhang also gave her stamp of approval on DDB activities, saying, "I've only been here about 3 months and this is the first time I've attended the barbeque, but it's my second event since the piano concert. I think the activities provide a good way for people in the office to get to know each other and also to de-stress."

Copywriter intern Olga Tang was more enthusiastic about kicking these barbeque parties off the ground, gushing, "What a blast if we could have this kind of event every Friday!" 

All in all, this event proved another success and generated a lot of positive feedback from employees. Even though we lay one office tradition to rest, we'll keep the fire lit under this one and look to create more fun activities in the future.

A big thank you goes to the social committee team who organized this splendid event and of course, to the management team for their surprise announcement that kept us in great spirits for the rest of the weekend. Thank you DDBers for your continued support and we look forward to our next shindig together! 



周五BBQ: DDB北中国区,烧烤与好消息齐飞


日期:2013年5月30日

地点: DDB上海


上周五,DDB上海的业务总监Angie Wong在上海办公室的BBQ上宣布,一直以来在同事生日时送上祝福的传统,可能会成为历史----取而代之的是一份更棒的礼物...生日时带薪休假一天!管理层慷慨地决定:让DDB上海和北京的员工们在生日当天都可以带薪休假一天。

当大家正在为这难以置信的消息激动不已时,有人自然而然地想到:如果生日那天是周末或者假期,该怎么办?可喜的是,管理层早就想到了这些问题,紧接着宣布:每一位员工都可以在生日当月,选择任何一天带薪休假!

带着这令人兴奋的消息,DDB人们来到了烧烤的地方享受美味佳肴。听说这个烧烤活动已经开始慢慢成为DDB上海分公司的"传统"了。我们的创意总监Nic Brenna 说道:"我们一年会举办好几次烧烤活动;已经办了好几年了。这是个很好的机会让大家享受一下美食,也能放松一下。"  

厚实的猪肉,大块的香肠和新鲜的土豆沙拉都与冰镇啤酒和红酒一同下肚,让大家满足地沉浸在食物世界里。有些人更是为了能够这次的烧烤美食而特意给胃腾出空间。业务员 Nic Hu (她曾经是 DDB LaunchPad Program的一名实习生)一边吃一边说她非常支持能提供咀嚼机会的活动。她说:"食物是活动的必需品。只要有吃的,我肯定会来。"

BBQ 1.jpg

除了像Nic这样的"吃货"之外,我们的策划Sarah Zhang也对DDB的活动给予了肯定, 她说:"我才刚来三个月,这也是我第一次参加烧烤活动,但是是自从钢琴演奏会后第二次参加活动。我觉得这些活动让公司里的人加深相互了解,也能放松一下。"

文案实习生Olga Tang 更是对烧烤活动满腔热情,她充满憧憬的说:"如果我们每周五都有这样的活动该多好啊!"

总的来说,这次活动很成功,也得到了很多大家的正面反馈。虽然我们暂停了一个传统,但是我们会有越来越多的新传统,今后也还会有更多有趣的活动举办起来。

在此特别感谢我们组织这次活动的Social  Committee 团队、带给我们惊喜的管理层团队、以及每个DDB人的支持与鼓励。我们期待下一次的聚会!

Dujiangyan.jpg

Date  3 June, 2013
Place Beijing

DDB Guoan, part of DDB China Group has been invited to collaborate with the Institute of City Brand Research of Tsinghua University to develop the global marketing and branding strategy for China's Dujiangyan City.

Located next to the city of Chengdu in western China, Dujiangyan City is well known amongst Chinese tourists for its thousand-year hydraulic project and its scenic spot and birthplace of Chinese Taoism, Qingchengshan Mountain. The local government aims to increase the appeal of Dujiangyan City as a unique international destination, with a clear and vivid brand image worldwide.

The Institute of City Brand Research of Tsinghua University and DDB Guoan will start the creative planning process and development work from the second half of this year. A feasibility report will also be generated from the recent discussion to incorporate all features of Dujangyan into the Global Communications Plan that forms the cornerstone of the entire campaign.

"We are thrilled to collaborate with one of the top institutes in China on this meaningful project. This is a great testament to the team's tourism experience and branding expertise, which we've assembled from China and around the world. It demonstrates the sheer strength of DDB's global resources, world-class experiences and deep knowledge of city branding and marketing," said Randy Xiao, Vice President of DDB Guoan.

"DDB China Group's global campaign 'Made in China' launched in 2009/2010 was a proven success as the first ever global brand campaign by the Chinese government that garnered unprecedented attention from both Chinese and international press. Sina.com.cn reported that the campaign successfully raised awareness to uplift China's image in the world. We are indeed privileged to be part of another historic city branding and development in China," said Richard Tan, President and CEO of DDB Group North China.

"We are excited to work with DDB Guoan on this project. Their outstanding creative reputation and brand planning capabilities will definitely help develop Dujiangyan city as a successful international brand icon," added Professor Fan Hong, officer of Institute of City Brand Research of Tsinghua University.

Two other domestic top-level organizations, Cultural Industry Centre of Tsinghua University, and Academy of Arts and Design of Tsinghua University will also participate in this project. 




国安DDB将携手清华大学城市品牌研究室 共同打造都江堰国际旅游品牌

日期: 2013年6月3日
地点: 北京

日前,国安DDB受邀携手中国高校中唯一研究城市品牌的研究室-清华大学城市品牌研究室,共同为把四川省都江堰市打造成为国际城市旅游品牌进行了深度的交流。

都江堰是四川省著名旅游城市,紧邻成都。它拥有著名的都江堰千年水利工程和道教胜地青城山,是国内的旅游热门地之一。为了把都江堰更好的推向国际市场,并拥有更加鲜明的城市形象和符号,当地政府决定邀请专业的城市品牌策划机构对都江堰品牌进行营销。

国安DDB副总裁萧东荣,与清华大学城市品牌研究室主任范红教授、清华美术学院清尚设计公司总监国虹一行,应邀参与,共同探讨在都江堰市建设"熊猫文化旅游小镇"的可行性。席间与成都市副市长谢瑞武、都江堰副市长陈汝龙以及成都企业界精英进行会谈,讨论了打造都江堰城市的文化符号、在都江堰市建设"熊猫文化旅游小镇"的可行性等等。

据了解,此次清华大学城市品牌研究室负责此一具有特殊意义的任务,特别邀请了曾经策划执行中国首支国家形象片"中国制造"的宏盟集团旗下的国安DDB,参与制定都江堰城市的整个国际旅游品牌的营销策略。

DDB中国之国安DDB副总裁萧东荣表示:「我们很荣幸能够携手国内顶级机构,参与到这么重要而且有历史意义的城市项目中来。DDB对国际旅游行业拥有深刻了解,我们的团队汇聚国际国内精英,拥有世界一流的知识配备。对我们来说,这将是一次重要的展示机会和舞台。

"能够受邀参加都江堰的品牌打造我们很自豪,这是对我们对城市和国家品牌建设能力的又一次证明。DDB中国在2009/2010年为商务部打造的全球广告'中国制造'就是成功先例,这是中国政府首个在国际和本土都获得前所未有的媒体关注度的广告。新浪曾报道说这个广告成功帮助提升了中国在世界上的形象和关注度。" DDB集团北中国区总裁兼CEO陈仲翰(Richard Tan)表示。

清华大学城市品牌研究室主任范红教授同时指出:「我们很高兴能够与DDB国安合作,我们希望DDB国安团队的高超创意才能和杰出的营销策划能力能够帮助都江堰建立国际城市的品牌,国安DDB的参与将使我们的项目锦上添花。

清华大学文化产业中心、清华大学美术学院将同时承担研究这一项目的重任。

My time as a Future Bernbach at DDB China Group represented two big firsts for me. Not only was this my first time working at an ad agency, but it was also my first time working in China. The exposure to both was invaluable.

Working with the Communications & Knowledge Management team turned out to be a perfect learning opportunity for someone who has never worked in China. For our internal news hub and weekly newsletter, I was constantly on the lookout for research articles on Chinese consumer trends, and case studies on the best campaigns in the industry.

Whether I was reading about Chinese taste (or lack thereof) for chocolate, their voracious appetite for luxury brands, or the lack of trust in domestic milk powder products, I learned something new every day about Chinese consumers. Who knew that LeBron James is the most popular Western celebrity on Chinese social media? Or that Taobao accounts for 90% of China's rapidly growing e-commerce market? (If you're unfamiliar with Taobao, it makes Amazon look like child's play.) This research enhanced my understanding of China as a whole, and helped to contextualize the work being done by DDB and other agencies in China.

The second, and equally valuable, part of my time at DDB was the exposure to work life at a 4A agency. Having watched a few too many episodes of Mad Men, my preconceived notions of agency culture included inventing the perfect slogan over large glasses of scotch, an equally attractive and adulterous staff, and lots of late nights. But my first impressions of DDB's agency culture were of the infectious energy and camaraderie (and the ability to throw a great party, as I attended the Chinese New Year celebration during my first week).

In addition to learning the ins and outs of Communications & Knowledge Management from my mentor Michelle Tan and the rest of our team, I hoped to learn as much as possible about how the agency as a whole works. Thanks to Sparks Sessions for Future Bernbachs and DDB training sessions, I was able to learn more about each part of the business. From Keong Loh, I learned that simplicity is not always simple. From Jenny Liu, I learned how social creativity can help to strengthen humanity. From Angie Wong, I learned that Account Managers play an invaluable role (hint: the role is not 'fuwuyuan'). And lastly, from our intern presentations where we teamed up to present our own creative pitches, I was able to learn firsthand how it all comes together.

The preconceived notion of late nights does seem to hold true for most teams at DDB. But to me, it seems that people are here because they want to be. Late hours are fueled by a passion to be better; more creative, more prepared for a pitch, more involved in social media, more in touch with consumers. This is the reason I loved interning at DDB, and the reason I am now more determined and excited to start my career in advertising.

来自一位Future Bernbach(未来的伯恩巴克)的回想

Alex Burke, 2013年 2月 - 2013年5月


在DDB中国成为一位Future Bernbach(未来的伯恩巴克)让我的人生拥有了非常重要的两个第一次。这不仅仅是是我第一次接触广告公司,而且也是我第一次在中国工作。这样的经历非常宝贵。

对于一个从来没有在中国工作过的人来说,在企业传播与知识管理的团队里工作无疑是一个最好的学习机会。在我们内部的新闻中心和周刊发布中,我不断地搜寻行业内在中国的最新消费者研究报告和最好案例分析。

我了解到了巧克力也会有专门的中国口味,中国人对奢侈品如饥似渴,还有他们对国产奶粉的不信任。每一天我都能了解到更多关于中国消费者的信息。谁会知道LeBron James 在中国的社交媒体上是最受欢迎的西方名人? 淘宝在中国的互联网市场上突飞猛进并占有90%的市场份额? (如果你不熟悉淘宝,这简直能让亚马逊相形见绌)这些探索更加拓宽了我对中国的了解,也让我去在理解这些背景情况下能够在工作中有对DDB和其他广告公司有更加全面的认识。

然后第二个非常重要的点就是在DDB这样的一个4A广告公司里工作。在看了许多集《广告狂人》之后,我心目中的广告公司文化,就是大口喝完苏格兰威士忌酒,之后创造出完美的广告slogan,员工非常艳丽与成熟,还有一个个不眠之夜。但是DDB给我的第一印象是充满感染力的激情与互相关爱的温暖气氛(还有各种各样精彩的Party,正如我第一个星期参加的中国春节晚会)。

除了在企业传播与知识管理的团队向我的导师Michelle Tan和其他队友们学习了公司内部和外部行业的情况之外,我还想知道更多关于一个广告代理公司的整体是如何运作的。因为Launch Pad实习项目有专门为Future Bernbachs举办的每周培训单元Spark Session,所以 我有机会学习广告运营的每一个环节。在Keong Loh的演讲里,我学到了"简单不总是简单的" 。在 Jenny Liu的演里,我学到了怎样让社群创意融入广告从而使之更加人性化。从Angie Wong的演讲里,我学到了为什么客户经理在广告公司里是个不可或缺的职位 (而不是"服务员")。最后,从我们Future Berbachs实习生的团队创意比稿中,我了解了一个广告创意到底是如何诞生的。

之前关于广告人经常有不眠之夜的猜想在DDB这里也被验证了,但是在我看来,这里的人们下班后还继续工作,是因为他们对自己的工作充满了热情,是这种激情不断推动着他们在产品、创意、比稿、社交媒体和消费者互动上更上一层楼,而这,也是为什么我喜欢在DDB实习的原因。总得来说,这次实习更加坚定了我进军广告业的决心。

Quaker Instant Oat_TVC_meitu_1.jpg
Date         May 23 2013
Location Shanghai

DDB China Group has launched a new TVC for Quaker Instant Oats which touts the product's three main health benefits. The TVC hopes to educate consumers on the myriad benefits of Quaker Instant Oats to encourage trial of the product. The TVC launched on May 9, 2013.
The TVC is distinctive from the 2011 campaign for Quaker Instant Oats because it describes multiple benefits, rather than just the cholesterol-lowering aspect. Quaker Instant Oats helps lower cholesterol, improve digestion, and promote heart health. The TVC shows how multiple benefits can help you and your family achieve more in life.

Jimmy Lin (林志颖) was selected to be the spokesperson for Quaker Instant Oats because he is successful in multiple aspects of his life, and embodies the busy lifestyle of someone who would enjoy the product. He is not only a celebrity, but also a successful businessman, professional Formula One Race Car Driver, and loving father.

The campaign is part of a big year for Quaker, according to Angie Wong, Business Director of DDB China Group. "2013 is a very important and exciting year for Quaker.  The company introduces Jimmy Lin as the new face of Quaker and shifts its focus to communicating the multiple benefits of Quaker Oats, which we believe will attract more consumers and help Quaker build its image as a trustworthy nutritional brand."

The campaign follows another TVC recently produced by Quaker and DDB, titled "No Additives". This TVC featured popular singers Aggie Xie (谢沛恩) and Deng Ning (邓宁), and linked the product benefit of the naturally great taste with naturally beautiful women who are confident in their own skin. Both TVC's are aimed at bringing Quaker to the forefront of health food in China.

DDB 中国发布'三好益健康'全新桂格即食燕麦片电视广告
日期 2013年5月23日
地点 上海

DDB中国日前为桂格即食燕麦片发布了全新的电视广告,大力宣传该产品的"三好益健康"特性。这一广告期望将桂格即食燕麦片的多重益处传递给消费者,从而鼓励人们来品尝它。该电视广告已于2013年5月9日正式上线。

与桂格即食燕麦片2011年的营销有所不同,此次的电视广告侧重强调产品的多重益处,而非仅仅降低胆固醇这一单一功效。桂格即食燕麦片不仅能够吸收肠道内多余胆固醇,促进消化能力,同时让心脏更加健康,保持年轻。广告片为观众展示了这些特性如何能帮助您和您的家庭收获更多。
 
受邀为代言人的林志颖 (Jimmy Lin)在生活中获得了多方面成功:他不仅仅是一位明星,一位成功的商人,一位专业的F1赛车手,更是一位充满爱心的父亲。此外,他的快节奏生活方式和桂格即食燕麦片的目标定位群的生活方式不谋而合。

今年对桂格来说是非常重要的一年,本次营销活动将是其重要组成部分之一。DDB中国业务总监王恺宜(Angie Wang)说道:"2013年对于桂格来说是非常重要且激动人心的一年。公司将推出林志颖为全新的桂格形象代言人的同时,将会着力宣传桂格的多重益处,我们相信这一定能吸引更多消费者,并为桂格在中国建立起健康良好的品牌形象。"

本次营销紧接着近期桂格与DDB合作的另一个名为"无添加"的电视广告上线。"三重无添加,醇香真美味"广告邀请了谢沛恩(Aggie Xie)和邓宁(Deng Ning)为男女主角,并诠释了产品无添加的天然口感与崇尚天然美的自信美女之间的微妙关系。两部广告作品都致力于将桂格推上中国健康食品类目的最前线。

In the current age where the entire advertising industry in China is suffering from high labor costs and turnover rates, attracting young talents become one of the biggest challenges of almost every single agency. In this highly dynamic industry, especially the last two years when campaign budgets have slowed, the once simple and effective 'Buy Talents' strategy through offering high salaries no longer seems to work. Facing new industry trends of technology innovations, what becomes critical is how an agency can stand out by developing a sustainable talent structure, instead of one that merely places all importance on its high-profile senior members.

At the beginning of April this year, Damn Digital received an invitation from the DDB Shanghai office, inviting us to participate and understand in detail its special global internship program - LaunchPad for Future Bernbachs. Contents below are drawn from our direct observations and records.

'LaunchPad' is a unique internship program at the international creative agency, DDB. It was first initiated by the DDB Sydney office successfully and introduced subsequently to the whole DDB worldwide network. The program targets young graduates or soon-to-be graduates, giving them the opportunity to receive guidance from the most experienced professionals of the agency and actually get involved in live client briefs and campaign activities. During the course of three months, the interns learn the basic process within the advertising business and gain significant real-world ad experience. At the end of the internship, their performances were evaluated by their mentors, and official job offers are made eligible to them depending on their performance and vacancies. During the internship, DDB offers inspiration sessions every week, and the management team gets involved to listen in on the creative briefs being worked out by the interns on a regular basis.  

According to DDB, LaunchPad is designed to help new graduates to close the gap between theoretical knowledge and agency practices, and to build a strong portfolio before committing to a full-time career. In turn, DDB will also benefit from having fresh ideas from the young talents, and increase the chance of discovering future creative leaders. Another important benefit for DDB through this initiation is that the agency will be able to dispel untrue stereotypes about working at an agency, and establish a favorable brand reputation among new graduates who can easily get lost among excessive choices of brands and agencies. 

At the beginning of 2013, DDB Shanghai office started to prepare for the launch of the program. The interns who were chosen to participate in the LaunchPad internship program were honored with a unique and appropriate nickname- Future Bernbachs. After all the name comes from one of the founders of DDB, who is one of the most lauded creative of the industry. 

Michelle Tan, Director of Communications and Knowledge Management, DDB China Group, emphasized that 'DDB China is an agency with true creative spirit. We sincerely hope, through the program, we can bridge the gap between student and professional creative, and at the same time show our commitment for the future development of the creative industry as a whole. By taking part in the three-month internship, the interns will be able to understand the reality of the industry beyond the surface and they get to consider whether the advertising industry is the right place for them to pursue their dreams. We allocate the most experienced staff as their mentors, where each mentor takes care of two interns at the most, thus ensuring every intern getting sufficient guidance at DDB.

The program also reflects how much we value our people and how much we devote towards nurturing talent - we also encourage our permanent staff and interns to constantly develop themselves. In general, intensive high-quality training, real working experience and brief simulations create valuable opportunities to communicate with senior managements, along with the more relaxed Sparks Sessions, that enable LaunchPad to be truly differentiated among various internship programs. It can be regarded as the first program of its kind within the industry.'

Why introduce the LaunchPad?
Amir Kassaei, Chief Creative Officer of DDB Worldwide, said in one previous interview with Damn Digital:

'With increasing pressure around cost combined with the competitive talent landscape, we are noticing real opportunities to look beyond the expected skill sets and traditional schooling when recruiting. It is important to recognize the shift in the industry with regards to scope of work so we don't exclusively target the traditional background. I'm not interested in hiring people who can only win awards. The best creative is the person who is able to use skills, knowledge of existing technologies, and insights to solve a business problem in an intelligent way. As an industry, we also need to focus our investment - as a priority - on significant talent development programs... so perhaps to take a chance on someone brilliant with unexpected training and education next time you hire, and while you're at it, make the decision to invest in their development.'

In short, it is important to invest a reasonable budget in talented people, who are capable of helping the agency stay ahead with the rapidly changing industry landscape. Wenhai Li, Chief Talent Officer of GroupM China, also mentioned in his interview that investing in future talents is on one hand required by the need of covering high annual employee turnover and business growth, and more importantly on the other hand, to grow a strategic talent pool. The so-called 'strategic' implies in 'not only to satisfy clients' short-term needs but also be prepared for any possible new challenge raised in future.'

It's worth mentioning that, in most interviews with those lauded creative leaders in China and abroad, they all tend to admit their awareness of the low possibility that one can always keep up with the times and technology trends. Therefore, developing new creative talents has become a necessity for almost every agency, including DDB Shanghai.  
 
After the internship, every Future Bernbach will be awarded a Certificate of Participation, and those interns who had distinguished performance may also obtain a reference letter from DDB senior management. (See picture in Chinese version)

Recruitment and Evaluation Criteria
For an agency with more than 50 years of history like DDB, it certainly sets a high standard for the young 'Future Bernbachs'. All mentors are required to complete an evaluation form consisting of multiple dimensions to score the intern on being a 'creative thinker', 'problem solver', 'relationship builder' and 'sponge', etc.

In order to understand the initial expectations of the mentors towards the 'Future Bernbachs', two members of DDB Management were interviewed: 
Nic Brennan, Group Creative Director (the third from right hand-side, first row, in pic 1):
'...their creativity, ability to generate ideas, learning capability, communication skills and the most importantly, their passion...'
Jimmy Lam, Vice Chairman and Chief Creative Officer, DDB Group North China:
'...be very curious, be eager to learn, be positive and sensitive. The university is where one just waits to be taught. Here, one has to be self-motivated to learn...' 

Consistent with what Amir has said, a relevant academic background is not compulsory in the LaunchPad program, but 'initiative' and 'desire to learn' are.DDB China Group received 416 resumes in total from various universities, including Shanghai University, East China Normal University, Tongji University, Shanghai Lixin University, Shanghai Art & Design Academy, Shanghai University of Science and Technology, Shanghai Jiaotong University and China Academy of Art, among which about one out of seven candidates were invited for interviews and 32 of them were finally recruited. These interns became the first batch of 'Future Bernbachs', who came from different tiers of cities in China as well as abroad, but very interestingly, most of them are girls! As of press, 8 Future Bernbachs have signed contracts to officially work for DDB.

Sparks Session
As a critical part of the LaunchPad, DDB Shanghai office held 'Sparks Sessions' every Wednesday before the close of work, where experienced advertisers from the DDB Shanghai office or even from other global offices provided training to all the Future Bernbachs.  After every Sparks Session, colleagues from the Communications and Knowledge Management team distributed evaluation forms to collect feedback from the interns, which were then considered as valuable references for future improvement of the sessions.  The reporter was honored to have attended two Sparks Sessions given by Nic Brennan, Group Creative Director, and Patrick Rona, President of Tribal DDB Asia Pacific and Chief Digital Officer of DDB Group Asia-Pacific. Both presentations included valuable contents, and the one given by Patrick even turned out to be prepared for his speech at this year's Adfest. However, during Nic's presentation, where he shared 10 TVC advertisements, possibly because it was the very first Sparks Session or due to language barriers, little interaction was generated between the audiences and the speaker. The issue of the language barrier was solved when it came to Patrick's Sparks session by providing bilingual interpretation throughout the presentation. While the contents were also communicated more clearly, the level of interaction remained relatively low. Concerning this, Patrick believed it was because the 'Big Topic' he set scared the young graduates, but he also expressed his optimism: 'There are various levels of interaction. I really hoped they were listening carefully to what I was sharing before they raised any questions. I value interactions of this kind a lot. I also believe many of those who didn't raise any questions during my Sparks Session will come and talk to me later or tomorrow.'
 'Seen from the survey, Sparks is one of the most well received parts of the program. Senior management are usually very busy, but have they have taken the time to participate and answer all questions,' Said Michelle, 'Even if they don't get to join DDB in the future, the program offers them a unique and memorable first experience in the advertising industry. That is key for us.'

Conclusion
Wenhai Li told the reporter that the average turnover rate of talents for the industry is about 30%, which is still considered high even in the service sectors. Though it is difficult to tell merely from the first round of practice, the introduction of LaunchPad in China is indeed a big step for DDB's initiative of nurturing future talents.  

To quote Amir Kassaei on the issue of investing in future talents, which also echoes the opening words of this report: 
'Meaningful talent development needs to start at the top of the organization. It is our responsibility as an industry to grow and shape our young talent into creatively brilliant leaders of tomorrow's advertising landscape. Our creative leaders have the duty to guide, educate and lead by living up to the high standards that we have internally. We're not only required as an industry to train and educate young talent, but we also need to have programs and initiatives in place to develop our creative leaders. That's the only way to develop a culture where humanity and creativity are the foundations of innovation.'

 
侧记一间创意代理公司是如何吸纳新兵的。

在如今人力成本高企、流动率又巨大的中国广告产业,怎样吸纳新鲜人才是令各家公司都头疼的一个问题,而在这急速变化的产业中,在广告预算增长迟缓的这两年,往日简单粗暴的"Buy Talent"高薪挖人策略对于代理商们来说效果正在变得不那么立竿见影。公司面临新的行业趋势与技术革新,能否靠合理的人才配置迅速转身,而非沦落成空有招牌与"大师"的恐龙,怎么招新兵就是关键。

今年四月初,互动中国收到DDB上海办公室的邀请,详细了解了其独特的全球实习生培训计划"LaunchPad"。以下是我们的一点观察与记录。

什么是LaunchPad
"LaunchPad"是国际创意代理商DDB的一项特别的实习生培训计划,最早由DDB悉尼办公室进行尝试,在获得了相当不错的反馈后被推广到DDB全球网络。该培训计划只招募即将毕业或者刚毕业的大学生,由资深广告人作为导师参与公司的关键客户与广告活动,在三个月的时间内完成对于商业广告流程的学习与实战,最终由导师打分,并根据职位空缺情况决定是否录用为正式员工。在实习期内公司将准备每周一次的培训课程,创意主管也将定期听取由实习生们独立创作的广告提案。

依照DDB官方的愿景,LaunchPad将能够帮助初出茅庐的学生跨越从课本到现实的鸿沟,并能在正式工作前就获得一份不错的portfolio与实战经验,而DDB则收获了大量新鲜血液与发掘优秀人才的可能性。同样重要的是,DDB也将在初入业界的广告新兵圈中得到不小的品牌推广----毕竟经过笔者的实际了解,广告圈与广告圈内林林总总的公司品牌对于在校生与毕业生来说有些神秘,有时候也过于琳琅满目了。

在2013年初,DDB上海办公室着手将该计划在初次在中国落地,而进入上海办公室的LaunchPad实习生们还有一个特别光鲜的代称:"Future Bernbachs"。Bill Bernbach是DDB的创始人之一,同时也是业界共知的创意巨匠。

DDB中国企业传播与知识管理总监陈玮冰向我们强调:"DDB中国是具有创新性的广告公司,通过给这个项目,我们给想进入广告行业的学生们搭建起一个桥梁,我们想表达的是我们对整个创意行业的未来的关注和关怀。通过三个月的实习,他们会了解到外表光鲜的广告行业事实是怎样的,广告是否可以真正承载他们的梦想;我们尽力安排协调非常资深的导师,每人最多只带两个实习生,并给予充分的指导。这个项目也同时表达出DDB对人才的重视和指导,我们一直在督促员工和实习生进行自我发展的提升。总的来说,密集高质的培训,真正的实战经验和模拟演练,和最高层的沟通与表达机会,还有轻松愉快的SPARKS,让整个LaunchPad从众多公司的实习生项目中脱颖而出。它可以说是国内广告行业中的首次。"

为什么要引入LaunchPad
DDB全球首席创意官Amir Kassaei在先前接受我们的采访时表示:
"随着资金上压力的增加以及越发激烈的人才竞争, 我们不能只考虑现阶段所需的专业技能和教育背景,而要想的更远。如今我们的工作中所涉及的领域越来越广,因此我们不能只盯着传统的专业背景。我不倾向于雇用那些拿奖专业户。 真正的创意人是那些有能力利用所学技能,结合有限的科技, 加上自己对行业的理解的洞悉,真正意义上解决商业难题的。 作为一个行业,我们需要关注投资的对象,把人才发展项目列为首要任务。...... 也许下一次聘请新兵的时候,遇到一位各方面都出色的人选, 或许他的专业背景不是我们所需的,或许他没有很出彩的学历,请给他一个机会吧!你的投资将使他们的未来更好地发展。"

简而言之就是要用合理的预算投资高资质的,并且能够使公司不断适应大环境变化的年轻人----后一点尤其重要。群邑中国集团首席人才官李文海在接受采访中亦提到对于未来人才的投资除了每年雇员流动业务增长的"刚需"之外,更是为了储备"战略性人才"。其所谓的"战略性"体现在"不仅能够满足客户当前的需求,同时也要对未来可能产生的新需求做好准备。"

插一句题外话,互动中国在对于国内外已经功成名就的创意领袖们的采访中发现,他们均对自己无法永远跟上时代与技术潮流有清醒的认知,所以储备新血是每一间代理商都在做的事情,DDB上海自然概莫能外。

入选与评估标准
对于DDB这间年逾半百的创意老店来说,他们对这群初出茅庐的"未来广告大师"们的要求还真不低,每位带领Future Bernbachs的导师(mentor)在实习期结束后都会被要求填写一张包括"富有创意"、"问题解决者"、"关系建立者"、"博学者"等指标的评价表格,进行综合打分。那么这些"mentors"当初对将成为"Future Bernbachs"的年轻人都抱着怎样的期许呢?我们访问了DDB上海的两位管理层:

DDB上海集团创意总监 Nic Brennan:
" 创意、思维能力、快速学习能力、与人沟通的技巧、当然最关键的是热情。"
DDB集团北中国区副主席兼首席创意官林俊明:
"非常好奇,非常要学东西,非常乐观,很敏感。如果一个人坐在里面等,老师来教那这是学校。他必须要很主动的去学东西。"

如Amir所说,专业背景在LaunchPad项目中并不成为必选项,主观能动性与学习意愿成为首要标准。本次DDB中国从包括上海大学、华东师大、同济大学、立信会计学院、上海美术艺术学院、上海理工大学、交通大学、中国美院以及美国密歇根州立大学、悉尼大学、伦敦大学皇家霍洛威学院,以及伦敦艺术大学中央圣马丁艺术与设计学院中一共收取了416份简历,大约有1/7的申请者进入面试,最终录取一共32位来自中国各线城市以及海外的应征者----有趣的是绝大部分都是女生----成为了DDB上海第一期Future Bernbachs。在截稿前,这一期Future Bernbachs中有8人成为DDB上海的正式员工。Future Bearnbach和DDB上海与全球的领导层,他们手里拿的麦当劳是该公司的重要客户

Spark Session
作为LaunchPad培训计划中的重要一部分,DDB上海在每周三临下班前会请本公司、中国区乃至全球的资深广告人为Future Bernbach们进行名为"Spark Session"的培训。每次培训后企业传播部门的同事将会回收事先发放的表格,评估培训效果并依此着手改进。笔者旁听了两场Spark Session,分别由Nic Brennan与Tribal DDB亚洲主席Patrick Rona 担任演讲嘉宾。两位准备的内容分量相当重,Patrick更是提前拿出为亚洲广告节准备的演讲稿分享。不过在在Nic关于十则视频广告的分享时,也许因为这是第一次Spark Session,也许是因为Nic事后自己也承认的"语言壁垒",在座的同学极少与演讲者互动。"语言壁垒"问题在Patrick的Spark Session得到了解决----现场安排了中英翻译,演讲本身也更具激情,不过提问与互动状况仍然只是稍有改善。对此Patrick表示可能是因为他有一个 "Big Title"吓到了"小朋友们",不过他也非常乐观的说到:"沟通互动存在非常多的层级。首先我非常希望他们在认真倾听,然后才向我提问,我非常珍视这种互动。而且我相信很多在现场没有举手的同学,会在会后或者明天来与我交流。
"从调查问卷来看,SPARKS是实习生们反响非常好的环节。平时那些行色匆匆的老大们都能站在那里认真仔细的回答他们每一个问题。" 陈玮冰说:"就算将来他们不能留在DDB,可是DDB给了他们一份珍贵的广告业初体验,这是最重要的。"

结语
李文海告诉笔者,国内广告业界的人才流动率普遍在30%左右,即使在专业服务行业中也是偏高的。虽然仅仅第一轮实践无法直接判定优劣,LaunchPad落地中国确实是DDB着眼未来人才所跨出的不小的一步。

在谈到投资未来人才的问题上Amir Kassaei说了这样一段话,正好呼应这篇文章的开篇:
"好的人才发展计划则需要由公司的最高层带领发起。这是我们身处这一行业所要承担的责任。为了不辜负我们本身对这一行业的期望和高要求,我们的创意精英有义务教导、指引并且领导这些后辈们。不仅要本着行业的责任和义务来培养这些青年才俊们, 我们本身也要拥有这样的积极性,创办一些项目以发展创意界的未来领袖。只有这样才能带动这样一种文化的延续,因为人性和创意是我们革新的基本。"
