A set budget. A fixed scope. A tight deadline. Classic.
But too often, a brief misses the real point.
They gloss over the fundamental questions that define success:
What needs to change?
Who can make that change?
Why should they care?
Without this fundamental clarity, briefs become wish lists focused on outputs, not outcomes.
When these critical questions are understood and prioritised, everything shifts. The brief moves away from chasing a deliverable and centers on solving a business challenge.
This reframing leads to richer discussions about target audiences and the market, driving sharper, more precise thinking (and precision is our game).
And here’s the thing – a brief should empower us to push boundaries, delivering work that’s not only creatively compelling but commercially effective – and on or under budget.
