Brief?
A brief is the framework of foundation that informs a writer
or creative talent of guidelines for marketing of a campaign.

understanding between a client and an advertising agency
(or between a agency with it’s creative team).
Good Brief?
Tell a story with internal logic, inspirational and consistent theme

N
INSPIRATION FOCUS
WHY
Receiver can understand clearly the main point from the
brief
If not, receiver will be confused to start
Receiver won’t take time to re-structure thought
If only you trust something, you’ll work well with it
Anything unclear takes lot of time from both sides to make
sure that they have the same understanding
Jargon may cause misunderstanding
Money limits the creativity and makes it practical
A boring brief may lead to a boring solution
Not bias about the solution for the brief

greatness

own goals.
5. Authentic

be me.
