CREATIVE RESEARCH TERMS GLOSSARY The ARF’s Creative Council has compiled The Creative Research Terms Glossary, a comprehensive resource containing 880 terms used by creatives in the industry. You can access the creative glossary on our website. This Council has also done extensive work on powerful advertising, including establishing recommendations on how to improve the relationship between researchers and creatives. Learn more about the ARF Creative Council and their important work here.

ARF DATABASE

The ARF has created a database to enable research on the relationship between brand and sales advertising. The project includes campaign information on over 120 Ogilvy applicants.

Each entry will include brand and product category, age, share, consideration, pricing position, growth, sales cycle, campaign objective, primary target, media plan, competitive strategy, outcomes, research used and brand equity.

Contact your member manager or email us at membership@thearf.org to access the data and for a codebook. Each spring, additional applications will be added to the database.
