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?

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).
