We’ve got an exciting announcement. We’ve launched a new course called, ‘Unlocking Amazing Briefs’ and we’d love to see you on it!
A good brief is critical if you want good work. But writing a good brief is a skill and it takes practice. Sadly, there are far too many poor quality briefs out there. And people talk about just ‘knocking out’ a brief, as if it’s something you can do without thinking. Here’s the thing. Poor brief in means poor work out. It’s a false economy.
The Better Briefs Project
In fact, the awesome people at The Better Briefs Project hit the nail on the head when they conducted some brilliant research on this topic in 2021. Check out the shocking findings here. But in short – marketers think they write great briefs, and most of their agency partners vehemently disagree. The main issue is that the briefs are not single-minded. Or put another way not enough thought has gone into making strategic choices in advance of writing the brief. Turns out, many marketers actually use the creative briefing process to do their strategic thinking for them and that’s an enormous waste of time and money.
