I'll be brief


How hard can it be to write a creative brief?

Pretty easy I'd have thought.

In fact when I wrote briefs for student projects at RMIT they were no longer than four key points.

Obviously a realworld environment requires a bit more info than that. But not too much.

So let's get back to my question - How hard is it to write a creative brief?

Certainy not hard enough to warrant a 66 page powerpoint presentation to teach you how to do it.

Which may well explain why a 66 page JWT presentation on writing a brief was mysteriously taken down from Slideshare.

I just want to know (1) What problem are we trying to solve? (2) What are we trying to accomplish?

Oh please. 66 pages? I hope there were a lot of pictures.

I do however think there is some art to writing a brief and/or plenty of people don't know what's important in a brief. That's why so many are so long!

Trust me it takes more creativity in writing a 'brief' than making a 100 slide presentation!
