What is a Creative Brief?

And why are they important?

Ultimately, creative briefs save clients’ money and designer’s time. Often, a client isn't sure how to express their project goals to a designer. But a well-crafted brief provides all the information a marketing team needs to develop emotive material that clients accept the first time. It is a plan with clear objectives and desired results.

A solid creative brief saves the client money by informing the designer and inspiring creativity and imagination. The quickest way to go over budget is to have a designer wasting valuable time by sitting at a blank screen and developing work through trial and error.

A creative brief also contains a strong value proposition that provides insight into the buyers' deep emotional needs. Understanding their challenges helps you explain how a clients' offering will transform their lives in profound ways.
