The Creative Engine helps you turn strategy into sharper creative routes: the flaw that becomes proof, the excuse that becomes permission, the review that becomes the campaign, the missing thing that makes the message land, the product test people want to watch, or the Trojan Horse that draws people in before changing how they see the issue. Find the creative move that makes the strategy impossible to ignore.

What’s inside:
Absurdity of the Status Quo
Nine sub-tactics for exposing the ridiculous logic hiding inside normal behaviour and accepted systems, from satirical exaggeration and literalised problems to corrupted familiar formats, bureaucratic absurdity and absurd visions of the future.
Creative Use of Absence & Omission
Seven sub-tactics for making what is missing carry the message, from symbolic absence and subtraction-as-benefit to erasing dominant narratives, cutting waste and inviting the audience to complete the idea.
Creative Use of Excuses
Seven sub-tactics for turning apologies, denials and justifications into useful campaign material, from challenging and removing excuses to honest apologies, fake apologies, benefit apologies and creating credible permission to act.
Creative Use of Names
Seven sub-tactics for turning personal, public, product and place names into campaign mechanisms, from reclaimed identities and name-based rewards to famous doubles, territorial hijacks, cultural claims and verbal ambushes.
Creative Use of Reviews
Eight sub-tactics for turning other people’s judgement into the campaign, from embracing bad reviews and hijacking review platforms to recruiting unexpected experts, disguising testimonials, proving performance live and making reviews serve a wider purpose.
Flaws, Fails & Insults
Nine sub-tactics for making negative material work harder than polished perfection, from turning product flaws into features and publicly owning brand faults to repurposing mistakes, failures, insults, hate and hostile labels as proof, participation or pride.
Product Demonstrations & Torture Tests
Eight sub-tactics for turning claims into evidence people want to watch, from extreme contrasts and real-world endurance tests to undercover validation, immersive product worlds, contextual trials and digital stress tests.
Role Reversal and Perspective Shift
Five sub-tactics for revealing what a familiar viewpoint keeps hidden, from making people experience the other side and changing identity while keeping the work the same to reversing authority and letting non-human voices take our place.
Trojan Horse Provocation
Six sub-tactics for bypassing indifference, denial and rehearsed responses, from hijacking live moments and disguising the message to building decoys, revealing bias and manufacturing controversies that turn the audience’s reaction into evidence.
Trojan Horse Seduction
Five sub-tactics for overcoming labels and prejudgements by letting people desire, try, buy, follow or praise something before discovering the identity or issue they might otherwise have dismissed.
