Creative Briefings

A creative briefing is a brief document where the details of a project are specified, such as the target audience, the competition, or the message to be conveyed. In this way, the person in charge of carrying out the project will have the necessary information to be able to do it. 

This document is flexible and will have the fields that the developer considers. Besides, it also depends on the project to which it is addressed, whether it is a logo, a web page, or an advertising campaign, for example. 

However, there are data that every good creative briefing must include to ensure that the project meets the client's requirements. These are:

  • The target audience: this will be the one that will mark the rest of the elements that make up the project. Within the target audience, it is important to establish their age, location, the language they speak, what their interests are, and what their priorities are when it comes to consumption.
  • The project objective: this must be achievable, concrete, realistic, measurable, and have a fixed period of time to achieve it.
  • The promise: the value that the product will bring to the customer. This promise must be justified.
  • Information about the company: what is the sector in which it operates, its values, and its products or services.

Create a creative brief 

The first steps

Business description

First of all, it is important to make it clear who the client is. At this point, you will have to summarize the brand’s trajectory, what it has done since its birth and where it is now. It is also essential to specify the firm’s values, in order to create a project that coincides with them and supports them. Likewise, the brand’s competitors must be discussed. 

Goals to be achieved with the project

Here, you will have to clarify the objective that the client intends to achieve with the final project. It may be to reach new customers, reposition the brand or achieve more conversions. In addition, the strategy to be followed to achieve this goal must also be specified.

The tone

For the identity of any brand, it is essential that all its contents contain the values that its target has associated with the firm. In this way, there must be a consonance between the project and the firm’s character. This point is closely related to the first one. We must know the brand, its principles and history, in order to set the tone and register of the project.

The delivery deadline

This point is to ensure that everyone involved in the project is aware of the deadline and avoids delays in the delivery of the order. It is crucial to establish a realistic deadline with the client, taking into account the number of people involved in the project and their availability.

Budgeting

Detailing the cost of the project can condition the professionals involved in its elaboration. In this way, they will see the investment made and will carry out the work accordingly.

The importance of a creative briefing

How a good creative brief can make a difference

Success or failure?

Creative briefing is of utmost importance when it comes to whether a project fails or succeeds. This is because this document contains all the information on which the project will be based. Thus, it will serve as a guide for the professionals in charge, who will base all their work on the points indicated in the briefing. 

Clear the way to your target audience

This is why defining the project’s target is a point that must be included in the briefing. Each type of client has different tastes, needs, and preferences. With a creative brief, each member of the team will have a clear idea of who they are addressing, so the creation process will be done by and for your target audience. This greatly increases the chances of success. 

Define the competencies of each team member

With this document, professionals will be able to understand their role within the project and the connection that their tasks have with the rest, creating a global vision in which they will find their niche.
