We’ve all been there before. You envision a fantastic marketing campaign with amazing results and get your team excited about the possibilities of your plan.
Next, you expand your vision to your agency, or to your writers and graphic artists. And this is where the perfect campaign you visualized falls to pieces.
The message is all wrong. The creative looks nothing like what you thought you were communicating. Now you have to spend hours going back and forth with your vendor or department fixing everything that went wrong between ideation and execution.
But what if this whole scenario never had to happen? What if your initial vision was communicated so well that your creative team brought you back the perfect embodiment of your messaging?
Great marketing strategists use a creative brief to accomplish just that. A well-written creative brief helps align your team on goals and objectives, allows you to formulate a vision and to make certain that all stakeholders are on the same page.
This will also ensure that any changes to your marketing campaign are as minimal and painless as possible. Almost every great campaign came to life from a well thought-out creative brief.
