Why Not Try Something New?

B.C. Dodge challenges conventional marketing thinking: Why not take inspiration from outside your industry?

During a recent meeting about upcoming campaigns, someone suggested reviewing competitor ads for ideas. This sparked an important question: Why limit creativity to what’s already being done in the same field?

What if you looked beyond your industry? For example, imagine a non-profit adapting a car company’s successful ad campaign with a creative twist. This approach could breathe new life into marketing strategies, helping brands stand out in a crowded field.

When organizations mimic their competitors, they risk becoming just another voice in an echo chamber. While it’s essential to learn from industry leaders, originality is the key to memorable campaigns that resonate with audiences.

This is especially true for non-profits. With limited funding and many causes vying for support, standing out can mean the difference between survival and success. When your message blends in, potential donors have little reason to choose your cause over others.

So, why not break free from the familiar? Look outside your industry, get creative, and craft campaigns that make your voice unique.
