HOW TO MAKE A
GOOD BRIEF
“GIVE ME THE FREEDOM
OF A TIGHT BRIEF”
“Every creative team has
horror stories of receiving
lousy briefs. Dull, vague,
confusing, thoughtless briefs.
What chance do they have of
producing sparking, fresh
creative work if the account
team doesn’t brief them
properly”
Tham Khai Meng – Worldwide
Creative Director, Ogilvy
Ogilvy Do brief
Most creative briefs ask
familiar questions.
The Do Brief asks tough
questions!
Creative Brief
Communication Brief
Types of questions that should be asked
1. It begins with the question about the client’s business
issues
2. It asks about what communication must get consumers to
do
3. It asks how communications will change behavior
4. It asks what we need to convey
5. It is channel-neutral and global
Why do we need to ask these
questions
To improve briefing quality
The help clients buy original work
Review the brand’s sales and position in the market to identify a business opportunity
Identify the key consumers segment for that opportunity
Analyze consumers behavior and attitudes in terms of the defined business opportunity
Articulate the role of communication in bringing about the desired behavioral change
To judge creative work – sales job done
