The trap you need to avoid
Let me be clear, if you went out of business tomorrow the only people who would care are your employees.
People don’t care about you, your product, or your service. So why would they care about your door drop telling them about your innovative solutions, flexible offers, or industry awards?
These are the classic hallmarks of brands that have fallen into The Value Trap.
The trap of communicating what your brand thinks is valuable to the reader, rather than what’s the reader actually thinks is valuable.
Play the video to see what I mean.
WHY the value trap happens
People are busy, biased, and care too much about your brand.
Your teams entire working environment is optimised for the path of least resistance. How fast can we do it? How easy can we make it?
All it means for your door drop creative is it’s just another item on a very long list of to dos, rather than the hard-working sales tool that’s got to move a person that doesn’t want to read it to do something.
And the result is often creative that looks OK. As in it’s looks fine, it follows the brand guidelines, and has everything it needs.
But, as you’ll see, there’s a hidden cost to creative that’s just OK.
How do you fix it?
I’ve made a framework called No One Cares Framework. And it’s purpose is to stop door drop creative from falling into The Value Trap.
It’s a tool that forces your creative to work the way readers think, read, and act — not the way your brand talks.
It works by asking four simple questions.
-
Can someone who doesn’t want to read your door drop and who's never heard of your brand get who you are and what you do within two seconds of picking up your door drop?
Because the if layout makes it hard from them to scan — guess what — they won’t.
-
Does your door drop copy use a proven copywriting formula to build a sales argument so strong it makes it very hard for the reader to disagree with?
Because if you launch into what you think is great about your products or services or solutions you’ve lost.
-
Are you leveraging the principles of persuasion — social proof, scarcity, urgency, trust, credibility — to trigger action now and not later?
Because if you don’t you lose every fence-sitter who reads your door drop and a reason to say no.
-
Are you signalling to your audience a problem they understand and want to fix?
Because if not you’re not communicating zero value to them and you lose.

The brands I’ve helped.
Ready to test it on your creative?
The first step is a structured A/B test. Same audience, same offer, same media. The only variable is the creative. I use the No One Cares Framework to build an optimised version, and we test it head-to-head against your control. You keep the results and the learning.
Three ways in: a performance brief from £3k, a consultation from £5k, or full creative execution from £6k. Every option gives you a tested, evidence-based improvement you can measure.
Agencies and Partners I support
Want me more involved?
Sometimes you don’t need another test. You need sharper creative, better briefs, or someone to pressure test what’s already in motion.
I can help with:
Direct response creative reviews
Strategic performance briefs
Creative direction and copy support
The deal is you stay in control. I will make your creative work harder.
Proof it works
Here’s one example from Tapi Carpets & Floors.
Test creative resulted in 7:01 ROI versus the Control.
The result was an added £1.4m in revenue from applying the No One Care Framework.
What others have said about working with me:
“Always has a smile, even when he’s working to tough deadlines. But his main attribute is not being too precious over his ideas. He’s able to understand a brief from the client’s perspective. Which means he’s great at taking feedback and always delivers to brief!”
“His depth of experience and knowledge of how to get to the nub of problems and truly engage prospective customers was evident and the ultimate output helped us quickly establish some key performance benchmarks”
“Alec is by far one of the most talented creative directors I have ever worked with. He really gets down to the bone of every brief. He is an incredible problem solver and is fluent in the art pitching to a client, it’s amazing to be in the room with him when this happens!”
“Even more impressive is his ability to unite teams around his ideas. In B2B marketing, where we frequently see ideas diluted into something entirely forgettable, Alec’s conviction and passion for creative work make choosing the ‘safe’ option feel like the real risk”

How do you want to get started?
Some teams need to build confidence in the approach and get internal buy-in.If that’s you, the No One Cares Workshop is the best place to start.
