15. Forward thinking opened an opportunity
Colgate Palmolive was running a global campaign based on “I
Sing”, but had given local markets the leeway to change the
execution to meet local needs.
Y&R Vietnam needed to translate the global campaign for
Vietnam and wanted consumer insight – but required a
research method that could support their need for speed.
Cimigo deployed its CimigoLive online community panel to
achieve this. For 6 weeks, Colgate, Y&R, Cimigo, and, most
importantly, the consumers worked together to achieve this.

18. Assess creative ideas against behaviour & desires...
‘...I bought roses. After taking a shower with
shower cream, I spread the petals in the tub
and bathed while listening to music of
Mozart. That was the most memorable
moment to me. I released my stress without
help from anybody’. (Female, 28, HCMC)
‘I sing every time I take a shower for the
coolness and revitalization. I feel free, all my
worries are gone. I often start a new day and
end everyday by showering to have a soft
and seductive skin and a comfortable mind.’
(Female, 24 y.o, Ha Noi)

All elements of this “translation” could be

24. Things you’ll want to have in place...
A corporation that’s open-minded & seeks consumer connection.
The local brand-owners to be active & engaged participants.
A creative agency that wants its creativity ideas to be built with
the consumer, not just for the consumer.
Time!
A strong, local research team that fosters linkage across parties.

25. Things to avoid.
Don’t let any stakeholder walk away or stay quiet – else it will
fail! This is not “fire & forget” research.
Don’t think the consumer will create the TVC! They are not
creatives.
Don’t forget to write a discussion guide – and this one is for
possibly 4+ weeks!

26. Co-creation overcomes the frustrations experienced by
consumers, brand-owners, creative agencies, & researchers.
With online community panels, researchers now have the tool to
overcome historic systemic barriers to co-creation.
It is the creativity of an execution that is the single most
important factor in determining ROI.
If you want to go creative…
…you’ll want to co-create.
