The Creative Diversity Matrix

22 ways to say
the same thing.

A static ad sells when the angle (what you say) meets the format (how you say it). The Creative Diversity Matrix is 22 distinct formats — visual structures that test the same message in radically different containers. Run them across angles, find the combinations that print.
