A CREATIVE BRIEF |
| |
I find that most of my clients have little knowledge of what needs
to be included in a creative brief. Some think that a creative brief
stifles creativity as it organises the project!
They are right. It does stifle rampant creativity. But it does encourage
goal orientated results and now we need to use company resources
more productively.
A creative brief gives you at least 30% better outcomes. Everybody
wants better outcomes!
It also:
- Gives your marketing company a great chance to get messages
and visuals that communicate
- Clarifies what you want from your communications company
- Lessens time wasting activities
- Disciplines your marketing/advertising company
- Makes your company outcome orientated
