The value of creativity?��Everybody is talking about innovation, creativity and imagination.�But what is the value of innovation and creativity?�Lets follow the money to find out.
marketing management consultants
The Australian Government is
investing $1.1 billion�in the “Ideas Boom”�
over 4 years
marketing management consultants
The Idea Boom initiative is less than $300 million per year.��The focus according to the website is technology focused, specifically internet and software.��Are they encouraging innovation and creativity or looking for the next Facebook or Uber?��There is more to the Creative Industries than technology. �
marketing management consultants
Australia’s �creative industries
contribute�more than $45 billion
to GDP.* ��
About 2.1% of GDP
• Software Development / Interactive Content
• Writing, Publishing & Print Media
• Design & Visual Arts
• Film, Television and Radio
• Advertising & Marketing
• Architecture
• Music & Performing Arts

$45 billion is significantly more than the $300 million a year the Australian Government is investing.��All of these Creative Industries contribute to GDP and all have the potential to increase exports.��The Idea Boom was announced at the same time Government funding of the Arts was announced.
• Software Development / Interactive Content
• Writing, Publishing & Print Media
• Design & Visual Arts
• Film, Television and Radio

marketing management consultants
Creative Industries employ more
than 600,000 people�in over 120,000
creative businesses.��
About 3.5% of the Australian workforce
marketing management consultants
Advertising media revenue�
is predicted to hit just over $13.5 billion in Australia this year.�
�The total is closer to $18 billion
marketing management consultants
Advertising is one area where creativity is valued commercially. Or is it?��Advertising agencies even have a special department titled “Creative”.��But how much of the advertising budget is paid for the idea and how much for the implementation?��
marketing management consultants
There are�557 advertising�
creative award shows globally*�
�According to Adspur
marketing management consultants
Creativity is clearly important because they have so many awards to recognise it.��In fact Award Shows are big business with the company behind the Cannes Lion Awards recently valued over $1 billion by IPO.��But the most significant creative award is not for advertising. Australia is #1 on the Global Creative Index.
marketing management consultants
What percentage�of the $18 billion
expenditure�pays for�
creative concepts and idea generation?
?
marketing management consultants
If you think it is 5% then you would be wrong.��It is less. Much less.��The is a lot more money spent on the implementation of the idea and almost nothing on the actual idea.��But without the right ideas the implementation is pointless.��So how much is an idea worth?
5%
marketing management consultants
A lot less.
>1%
marketing management consultants
While the number of award shows suggests creativity is important, the investment in ideas does not.��Business will pay for the implementation but it is rare to pay the value of the idea.��Perhaps this is why they say “Ideas are a dime a dozen”��But if we are to have an Ideas Boom then we need to value Ideas.

“A principle isn’t a principle until it cost
you money”.��
- Bill Bernbach, Co-Founder, DDB
marketing management consultants
If the principle is getting paid what the idea is worth, then…��Identify the commercial value of your idea��Don’t give away your IP ��Negotiate opportunities for sharing in the financial value created��Stand by the principle even if it costs you money
marketing management consultants
If the principle is paying for the value of the ideas, then…��Be open to sharing in the financial value created with the idea creator��Be willing to support ideas with the best finacial potential ��Accept that ideas may fail��Be willing to stand by the principle even if it costs you money
