Where ideas are born.
Well-born.

Welcome to The Concept Academy.

Ok, it’s just a blog, actually. But hey, “Academy” sounds cooler (and fancier), doesn’t it? ;o)
In all seriousness, though, the name “The Concept Academy” was born for a reason: it’s kind of a sweet way to pay homage to Plato. Yes, “that guy from the cave”. Now, why would we do that?

Well, for starters, because the man pretty much single-handedly put the word “Academy” on the map. So gotta give him his props. ;o)). Most importantly, because Plato was the one who first understood (or at least, made it official) that there is another world out there.

A world inhabited by concepts. The world of ideas.

That being said, the purpose of this blog is to invite you all to not only be a part of this world, but to also help build it: by exchanging ideas, sharing thoughts and learning from each other.

Thank you so much for your time and we hope you enjoy the posts below.

Happy reading!

Merci, Cannes; Bravo, Brasil

September 08, 2020/ Eugene Liang

Brazil's first-ever Grand Prix (Press & Outdoor) at Cannes came courtesy of one the most conceptual ads ever created.

The year: 1993
The client: Guaraná Antarctica
The product: a DIET soft-drink.
The agency: DM9DDB
The brains: Nizan / Serpa. (Yes. Them. The grandmasters.)
The idea: go back to "the brains". That's right. It's THAT brilliant.
The ad: there are no words.

No. For real. There are - literally - NO Words.

But there is concept.

To spare.
