The Creative Brief

Typical Creative Brief Template for a marketing or advertising campaign.

A creative brief is a document that outlines the key elements of a marketing campaign, including the company's goals, target audience, messaging, and communication channels.

It provides a clear direction for the creative team to develop campaign materials that effectively reach and engage the target audience.

The brief also includes a breakdown of the budget, timeline, and metrics for measuring the success of the campaign.

Overall, the creative brief ensures that everyone involved in the campaign is aligned on the goals and objectives, and provides a roadmap for bringing the campaign to life.

Example contents, the more the brief contains, the better. But some brief is still better than no brief.
