A Beginner’s Guide to Creative Briefs
If you have an important project coming up, which requires the compiling of a creative brief, here is a quick and easy guide to help you get started!

What exactly is a creative brief?
If you’ve been asked to produce a creative brief, but you’re not quite sure what that means, a creative brief is essentially a document which lays out all of the details of a creative project – from its potential timeline and budget all the way through to identifying your project’s target audience.
This brief will be shared among all of the people involved in the project, including any team members working in other departments. This way, everyone understands what the goal is and what their particular role in the project involves.
Your brief can be created in the form of a Word document (or PDF), a PowerPoint presentation, or any other format you prefer. Once your brief has been created and shared, it’s a good idea to hold a meeting with everyone who will be working on the project, so you can all discuss the brief and any foreseeable issues or restrictions it may contain.
What do you need to include in your brief?
A well put-together creative brief must feature a number of essential pieces of information. These include:
Why is it so important to spend enough time on a brief?
Spending some time drawing up your creative brief may not seem particularly exciting, especially if you are champing at the bit to get on with the actual work. However, having a clear, precise and easy-to-follow brief could save you a lot of wasted time and money in the long run, as it will ensure that everyone assigned to the project understands exactly what they are doing, and when they have to do it by.
