Give a creative request a clear purpose

Start with the audience and the promise.

Illustrative professional scene for give a creative request a clear purpose
01

Write the problem in plain language

Explain who the communication is for and what it should help them understand. Identify the destination and the action the person should be able to take there.

A creative brief is more useful when it describes the problem than when it starts with a list of unexplained preferences. Give the creative specialist enough context to make a reasoned proposal.

02

Check the claim and destination together

A message and its destination should make sense as one experience. Ask who can substantiate factual claims and who maintains the information on the landing page.

Do not turn an internal hope into an external promise. Unverified benefits, hiring claims or commercial results need evidence and appropriate review before they appear in advertising.

03

Make feedback actionable

Explain which part of an idea needs attention and connect the feedback to the purpose of the brief. Separate essential corrections from subjective preferences.

Confirm how revisions and approvals will be handled. The PPC specialist may coordinate the conversation, while brand, legal, product or creative colleagues own particular decisions.
