4. The Role of the Creative Brief Creative Brief is King
Every creative journey has to start with an understanding of where we are and where we want to get to. In other words, it has to start with a creative brief.
Not just for the sake of being creative
Always has to start with an objective and a strategy
What do we need to achieve? How are we going to do it?
5. The Role of the Creative Brief Great creative ideas are media-agnostic
The point of the brief is to develop the “Big Idea”
The brief should guide the direction for the development of the “Big Idea”
The “idea” should be appropriate no matter what media
Brief was be strategic and must not focus on one media
No such thing as a great brief
…only a brief which leads to a great creative idea
6. Essential Elements of Creative Briefs Different styles and formats, but most briefs ask the same essential questions:
What is the objective and role of communications? What do we want people to do differently and why?
Who precisely is the target audience and what is the shared emotional need or desire the brand can best address?
What is the role of the brand?
What is the proposition
What is the support or reason to believe this?
What is the unique personality of the brand?
