REGULAR EDITORIAL FEATURES

These are features that LBB's Editorial Team run throughout the year. For the most part, there’s no hard and fast calendar, these are features that e run on an ongoing basis and editorially we’ll be trying to balance out international representation and industry sectors and overall diversity. It’s worth mentioning that particularly for features like 5 Minutes and The Directors we are keen to use the platform to showcase female and marginalised talent. We also spontaneously do plenty of off-the-cuff interviews and stories that don’t conform to any formula. Inclusion in these features is not guaranteed. See 'Members Interviews' for series with guaranteed coverage. Please download the specifications for pitches by clicking on the title of the feature.

High Five - Each day, an industry expert from a different market will share five great pieces of creative work from their country. We’ve got a pretty thorough calendar on this to make sure we really are getting around the world and sharing work that hasn’t been shared internationally. If you would like to pitch yourself or someone you work with, please get in touch and we’ll let you know more. Find the brief here (and one for USA and Canada here). Also, check out our layout guide!

5 Minutes with... Interviews with the top people in the international advertising, marketing and creative industries

Advertising 101 - Before covid, it was easy for new joiners to build their knowledge of the industry and various specialisms through casual chats. Now that’s changed - so we’re going to be breaking down different roles and specialisms across the industry - from planning to compositing, UX design to colour grading.

Behind the Work - Behind the scenes on some of the most exciting creative campaigns. These can be traditional film campaigns but also digital projects, experiences, and category-defying activations too. What we care about is the insight, creative and production stories.

Brand Insight - Stories and interviews with marketers about their brand’s recent direction and future plans. This tends to be broader than just one campaign. We are open to stories where we speak to both the marketer and agency about work they’ve done together but the marketer/client must be involved in the interview.

Dream Teams - Trust and teamwork are at the heart of creativity and the industry is bursting with incredible partnerships. We want to profile and showcase the tightest twosomes in the business – how you met, why you work together so well, and what you’ve learned from each other – and advice for people navigating their own working relationships. This can be art director/copywriter pairs, directors and editors; MDs and ECDs; experience designers and creatives; character designers and animators… ultimately it’s all about those enduring professional collaborations and friendships.

Film Club - Production companies do more than just commercials and often their really creative short film projects get overlooked, so Film Club is a place to talk about new shorts.

Making Music - Making music is a series where we talk to the composers, producers and supervisors of some of the best new and classic commercial soundtracks.

Uprising - Spotlights on the up-and-coming junior and mid-level industry talent making amazing work and shaking up the future. One of the most popular features on the site when it comes to traffic!

The Opinion - Quick and responsive round up of takes on hot industry issues. This will be a quick turnaround piece inspired by a newsworthy development or issue where we’ll ask a selection of relevant industry people for their perspective.

Trends & Insight - Stories with a bit more depth that don’t conform to any template.

MEMBERS INTERVIEW SERIES

(Devised by the editorial team, filled out and sent in by you. For LBB members only. Click on the title to download

These features are designed to put the power in your hands. You can platform your talent and work whenever you like. And the great news is, we've devised the concept and format for these feature interviews already, so all you need to do is pick your talent, choose a relevant feature for their job role and get them to fill in their answers.

To take part, simply download the brief and questions by clicking on the titles below in bold. When you or your talent have answered, email the document and any images or videos you'd like included in the article to newsdesk@lbbonline.com for publishing.

There's no strict guidelines on schedule. We leave that down to you - but one hot tip to get more views and clicks is to spread the publishing out over regular intervals.

All Disciplines and Company Types

Essential List - A fun listicle piece about the kit, culture and cuisine that keeps the industry’s creative folk going!

My Biggest Lesson - This is where experienced ad folk and production people can share the pearls of wisdom that have shaped their career and can help those making their way to avoid the same pitfalls.

My Creative Hero - This piece explores the creative inspirations behind the industry’s talent. This usually means non-advertising creative heroes, allowing participants to explore their broader influences.

The Work That Made Me - The best way to understand a person’s career is to look at the work that made them. Their first campaign. The campaign that someone else did that made them jealous. The campaign that taught them some painful but useful lessons. The work that they’re proudest of. This is also a great feature as it’s a chance to share older work and work from different markets that readers around the world may not have seen before.

Thought Leaders - This is our channel for opinion pieces. We find that pieces that are closely aligned with newsy or timely topics perform particularly well, whether it’s a big sporting event or a hit new Netflix show that everyone is talking about. We’ve mapped out a few events that we think will prove to be talking points to get you started.

Business & Leadership

Bossing It - Leadership doesn’t come easy and everyone has their own views about what makes an effective leader. In this series of regular features we interview leaders, founders and entrepreneurs and creative management about their journey towards leadership and their own lessons and insights. Specifically for CEOs, COOs, MDs, Founders, EPs.

The New New Business - The creative industry wouldn’t be able to create without the people bringing in business and closing sales. As the industry evolves, so too is new business and sales. We want to speak to the people making the gears of the industry turn, whether they’re at agency, production, post, tech or media platform, to share their insights with those struggling to close the deal.

DE&I: Accelerating Change - We want to interview the industry’s DE&I leads to find out about their perspective and how the wider industry can take responsibility for transforming the industry for the better.

Creative, Account Management, PR & Strategy

Creativity Squared - A creative profile with a difference – psychologists have distilled creativity down to four factors, and we’ll be exploring those with copywriters, art directors and creative directors to get a 360° view of who they are and how they work.

Magic Numbers - Data-driven creativity is something that brands and agencies all over the world are investing in and banking on - but what does that really mean, what are the best practices and potential blindspots? This feature is for brand and agency data experts.

Problem Solved - This is a new feature about agency projects that go beyond campaign work and use creativity to solve business problems. These can include digital transformation project, product development, employee engagement initiatives, ecommerce platforms and behaviour change initiatives.

Planning for the Best - The intellectuals of the industry, planners arm their creative colleagues with the human insights and hard data to make sure their ideas are founded in truth. We want to celebrate the planners and strategists and pick into their processes and thoughts about the evolving discipline.

The Art of Account Management - A piece for account managers/execs to discuss the subtle art of bringing clients, creatives and everything else together.

Creative Marketing Interview series - We’re looking to talk to innovative and creative marketers who are the drivers behind brilliant work, to find out how they think about and enable great creativity.

What the Flack - A series profiling the communications industries’ communicators, the PR and comms leads and agency Chief Marketing officers.

Film & Content Production

Camera Obscura: Production Obsessions - This is a piece for anyone involved in craft and production, from directors to animators, compositors to composers, cinematographers to sound designers. We want you to nerd out about an element of your craft that you are absolutely obsessed with. It could be a particular kind of camera lens or shooting format. It could be aspect ratios. It could be a particular tool that feels like it’s become your right hand. It could be a part of the process that you just always find incredibly fun.

The Directors - This feature allows directors to go beyond their reel to talk about their thoughts about the business of directing and how they like to work, giving potential clients and collaborators a clearer idea about their problem solving and working styles.

Meet Your Makers - Interviews with producers specifically aimed at production, post and service companies all about the business of content and commercial production, insights into an evolving industry and some career advice for those making their way.

Production & Technology - This is an interview series for producers with a passion for technology and innovation. Here we’re diving into the technological innovations that are changing production, or at least broadening the demands on and possibilities for production.

Producing Tomorrow’s Producers - This feature is for producers, particularly those in leadership roles (EPs, senior producers, heads of production) who are keen to develop the next generation of producers, make sure that skills and expertise are passed on, while also learning from the up-and-comers of the creator economy.

Production Line - Interviews with agency and brand in-house producers talking about the challenges making work that works while navigating and integrating new channels and technologies and helping brands to solve their problems.

Sustainable Production - This is an interview series for producers with a passion for sustainability and who have been working to reduce the carbon footprint and environmental impact of their productions. It is intended to highlight best practice, share helpful pointers and also discuss some of the challenges moving forward. It’s a feature that’s appropriate for producers working in agency, production, production service, or even in-house at brand.

Photography, Animation & Design

Animate! - Animators are the magicians of filmmaking - to animate means, quite literally, to bring to life after all. So we want to celebrate the animators who fill our eyeballs with pure wizardry with this series of interviews.

Picture This - In which we ask a photographer to break down one of their favourite commercial photographs, revealing the story behind it. It doesn't have to be a recent project, in fact, famous/iconic advertising image would be most welcomed here!

Style Guide - This piece is for any sort of image-making artist working commercially. It could be illustrators, photographers, graphic designers or animators. It best suits those with a really distinctive flavour and style...

By Design - We want to talk to a range of the industry’s design experts about their careers and views on what ‘good’ design looks like. This series is open to everyone from UX designers, CX designers to product designers and graphic designers.

Production Service

Location Spotlight - Interviews and guides with production service specialists from around the world about inspirational locations and practical production issues.

Editing & VFX

Finely Sliced - We speak to editors about the art of the cut and explore the knife edge between good editing… and great editing.

Making the Grade - The grade is one of the most fascinating parts of the post process so we want to talk to talented colour graders about how they practice their craft.

The VFX Factor - This feature is a place for the visual virtuosos of advertising, the VFX artists, to discuss the trends in their role in 2021: the technological advancements revolutionising the way they work, the beauty of ‘invisible’ post, and how the pandemic will impact their work forevermore.

Music & Sound

Sonic Boom - Sonic Boom is a series on creative and technological innovations in sound design.

Thinking in Sound - We want to delve into the minds of the industry’s fantastic music and sound specialists to show just how creative this part of the industry is. We want to really dig into what inspires you and how you approach your work, while also getting a taste of how the music and sound part of the industry is changing.

Writing Your Own PR - Not everyone has the resources to justify a full-time PR person or agency. But that doesn’t mean you can’t reap the benefits of being a Little Black Book member. If you have a piece of creative work to share or someone new joining the company, check out our News Guide.

UX: Join the Dark Side

As users embrace ‘dark mode’, we speak to UX designers about the challenges and opportunities inherent in designing for the dark side.

Deadline: February 20 Writer: ben@lbbonline.com

Creative: The Look of Love

The Look of Love: we speak to art directors/ graphic designers/typography obsessives about creating romantic looks that set hearts a-flutter.

Examples of work that’s got it right would be fantastic.

Deadline: February 10th Writer: alex@lbbonline.com

International Women's Day 2023 - March 8th

Misogyny ain't going anywhere. Between brutal regimes cracking down on women's freedoms, the global scourge of VAWG, and the perhaps surprising rolling back of women's rights to autonomy, and the rather new and disturbing dynamics of online misogyny, this IWD we may not find ourselves where we'd hope to be. We want to know how the advertising community can use its expertise (creativity, understanding of the dynamics of online platforms, data etc) to mount a meaningful fightback for women that is more than just girlboss posturing.

Advertising's Oscar Stars

Data: The New Privacy Paradigm

With time running out for Google's cookies and privacy regulations ramping up around the world, notably in the US, brands and agencies may be entering a new data privacy paradigm. And on a socio-cultural level, how comfortable are people really with sharing their data today? Brands are already racing to to set up their own first party data practices, but with the potential of increased regulation locally - how can they navigate the shifting norms while making the most of their data? This could be a semi- listicle piece if clearly separate themes emerge (ie 5 ways brands can be ready for the new privacy paradigm).

Writer: josh@lbbonline.com, Deadline: March 23

Creative: Dealing with Creative Cringe

Advertising is an industry built on belief. What people believe about a brand can quite literally change its fortunes. But it's also built on self-belief - belief that a Russian-accented meerkat pun can shift home insurance or that a gorilla playing the drums can catapult an old favourite back to relevance. Belief though can be a tricky thing. When pursuing the truly original, creativity can take us to difficult places and creatives can find them in a challenging place where their ideas can elicit self doubt or even cringe. That can also be true when looking back at old pieces of work; as creatives grow in their skill and judgement, they may find older pieces haunting. We want to hear from creative directors and ECDs about their advice for up-and-coming creatives navigating this 'creative cringe'... Is there a good way to dampen the negative inner voices, or maybe a bit of self doubt isn't such a terrible thing? How can creatives learn to discern between the discomfort of doing something truly new - and their guts alerting them to an idea being legless or not worth pursuing? 200 words per submission

Writer: addison@lbbonline.com, Deadline: March 10

Strategy: Do Strategists Need to Understand the Culture War

That social, cultural and political discourse has become wildly and angrily polarised is plain to see across social media as well as on front pages of newspapers. Depending on your own leanings, the so-called 'culture war' is either the symptom of manipulative populists, the nature of social media algorithms or genuine deep-seated fractures in society. There seems to be few issues that cannot be drawn into the vortex. But acknowledging this polarisation or attempting to reach those on 'the other side' of our own values risks conferring legitimacy on toxic dynamics, or being drawn into the culture war itself. For example, can an industry that has championed the empowerment of girls across popular culture afford not to ignore what's happening with young boys being enticed into the sphere of the likes of Andrew Tate. How are strategists thinking about these strange currents and how can they help brands to understand how to navigate such treacherous waters? With such fervour and vitriol, it's understandable that brands would want to avoid touching 'culture war' with a bargepole, but is that even possible? And does ignoring it leave brands out of touch with people's realities.... OR is the culture war simply a confection of the terminally online that distracts us from what truly unites us? This is a fully written piece, so please contact the writer if you have someone you would like to put forward to answer some questions/share their views

Writer: alex@lbbonline.com, Deadline: March 10

VFX: New Developments in AI and VFX

AI is up-ending the creative industries, most recently causing panic amongst illustrators and copywriters. But the VFX industry is well ahead of the game when it comes to experimenting with AI and algorithmically-generated images and successfully deploying it. Whether it's using AI to simulate crowds or plant growth or flesh and muscle on creatives, or using it to improve motion capture, masking and more there are many areas ripe for artificial intelligence - and that's before we even get to the growth of deepfakes. We want to find out from the world's leading VFX houses how AI is really being used and how things have changed in just a few years. If you would like to be involved in this piece we recommend you get in touch with Zoe by March 10th. If we can share any examples/making of videos etc that would be much appreciated

Writer: zoe@lbbonline.com, Deadline: March 10

Production: Career Advice for Aspiring Producers in a Changing Industry

As The Fablemans attests, the allure of a career in filmmaking and production is an enduring one for many. We want to write a piece to help young people trying to get their foot in the door in the fast-moving world of commercial production. What should they study? How do they get that first job? What do they do if they don't live in a production hub like London - and can't afford to move? How can they connect with networks created to support and nurture a more diverse production industry? And what should they do to make the most of any opportunities they can get? If you would like to participate please send answers to questions contained within the brief - feel free to ignore areas where you don't feel qualified to speak and to add any topics that we may have overlooked.

Writer: zoe@lbbonline.com, Deadline: March 17

Music: Off-Beat - the beauty of unexpected choices and deep cuts in ads

The beauty of unexpected choices and deep cuts in ads. We want to speak to music companies, creatives and music supervisors about the key to finding music choices that go beyond the obvious and why deeper cuts may confer their own unexpected advantages for brands. 200 words per submission

Writer: ben@lbbonline.com, Deadline: March 3

Editing: Cut for Emotion

According to Walter Murch's seminal book, The Blink of an Eye, emotion is the one thing above all others that editors must strive to preserve as they cut. We want to speak to leading editors to find out what they make of this, and how they approach emotion in their edits... and how they balance the demand for fast cuts to keep up with the attention-deprived masses and the need to produce edits that are emotionally resonant. We're looking for 200 words per submission, and one editor per edit house.

Writer: nisna@lbbonline.com, Deadline: March 13

Ramadan 2023 MEA Feature

What trends and dynamics are driving this year's crop of Ramadan campaigns from the MENAT region? We're looking for strategists and creative leaders in the region to share their view of trends that have emerged and the standout work. 200 words per submission

Writer: nisna@lbbonline.com, Deadline: April 17

Ramadan Around the World

Ramadan has long been a staple part of the advertising calendar in the Middle East, and North Africa as well as Muslim majority countries across Asia. However, brands around the world are now recognising the importance of recognising the holy month as well as the challenges faced my Muslim consumers navigating the month of fasting when living in non-Muslim countries. We want to find out how Ramadan advertising is evolving around the world, for example in Europe, North America, Australasia, SE Asia etc

Media: how Adland is Tackling the Environmental Impact of Its Media Buy

Brands and advertising agencies know they need to get on top of their carbon emissions. The most progress has been made in the production space with initiatives like Ad Green helping measure emissions and helping companies to either reduce or offset them.But what progress is being made in the media space, where the emissions in the digital space can be hard to quantify and digital OOH billboards are raising eyebrows? How are agencies and brands tracking their media emissions and what schemes/programmes are helping to reduce them? This piece will run just ahead of Earth Day on Apr 22. Please get in touch with Ben well ahead of the deadline if you would like to participate and he can share questions or conduct short interview.

Writer: ben@lbbonline.com, Deadline: April 7

Creative: The New Creative Toolkit

From meditation and psychedelics to AI and cloud-based life-saving apps, we want to explore the tools and tricks that are helping creatives and strategists open their minds to new possibilities. We will be looking for commentary from people with actual hands on experience using any of the tools mentioned above, or if they have an alternative suggestion they'd like to float by us go for it, the wilder the better!

Writer: zoe@lbbonline.com, Deadline: March 31

Balancing Brand Equity with Marketplaces

When it comes to e-commerce, how are brands balancing the desire to take advantage of the consumers offered up by marketplaces like Amazon and the need to build and maintain brand equity and retain the power to shape their customers' journey. We want to talk to ecomms experts to find out how they approach striking that balance and whether it's possible to protect and amplify brand identity in the world of the marketplace.

Writer: alex@lbbonline.com, Deadline: April 14

VFX: Tips for Marketers Navigating VFX-Heavy Projects So. You've got a big global campaign and the agency's idea has turned into a cavalcade of visual effects. And while it's exciting ... it's also pretty bewildering. This piece is aimed at marketers who are finding that the world of VFX is becoming harder to get their head around - and that's having an impact on their ability to make the right strategic decision at the right time. Or perhaps it's a young marketer who has never been involved in a VFX-heavy project before. We want to speak to VFX experts to find out their top tips for non-specialists, particularly brand marketers. They may want to make better, more strategic decisions or feel less bewildered by new pipelines and technologies... or they may simply worry about appearing ignorant if they're not up on the latest lingo.
