This in-person course breaks the creative brief down into its essential source code and then strengthens your skills around each part of that code to make you a more confident and effective brief creator and deliverer. You’ll build your muscles in focus and rigor, and in playfulness and creativity. You’ll be thinking of your creative team as your most important audience.
Anyone who engages with a creative brief: It’s primarily aimed at brief-writers, so that could be anyone working in strategy/planning or account handling. But anyone who appreciates the importance of a brilliant brief will benefit from this course - many creatives have done it and found it useful. Industry newcomers are advised to wait until they’re a year in to get the most out of it.
The course is action-packed, interactive and creative. You’ll learn by some listening, but mostly by doing, thinking and debating. It’s very practical and all based on real-life, up-to-date experience in writing briefs, briefing teams and making great work.
