What are ‘Extreme nouns’ – Ingredients for Advertising Ideas?

‘Extreme nouns’ is a printable ebook with 100 pages of noun lists to save you time in research and increase your productivity.

Use this reference for early brainstorming and expanding ideas, allowing more time for creativity!

Most of the pages have lists of nouns, such as. ‘Biggest Smallest’, ‘Longest Shortest’, and Scary things, but the book also has comprehensive lists of items relating to product types, associations and interactions such as time, health, and joy. The inclusion of these pages makes the book great for marketing and advertising products, which was the original inspiration for this book.

‘Extreme nouns’ is designed to help creative thinkers speed up the brainstorming process. After studying an advertising course in Sydney, Australia, called ‘Award School’, I was inspired to make the book. I was frustrated that thousands of students were creating and brainstorming ideas from scratch. There was no tangible resource on the internet to help in the process, which remains true in 2022.

Unique lists of common nouns

We communicate fresh ideas by building on what we know. Comparing something new to something recognized allows you to tell new stories.

In this sense, Extreme nouns are the recognized visual word associations needed to showcase new ideas, providing a tangible brainstorming reference for the creative industry. The book contains lists of nouns and their opposites indexed by Extreme emotions, advertising strategy and product types.
