💡 Pro Tips
- •The 'single most important message' is the hardest part — if you can't say it in one sentence, the campaign will be unfocused
- •Include what the project should NOT feel like — it's often easier for creative teams to avoid wrong directions than hit the right one
- •Share competitor examples so the creative team knows what 'different' means in your market
✨ Example Output
## Creative Brief: "Break Free" Summer Campaign **Client:** FitTrack (Fitness Wearable) **Project:** Summer Product Launch Campaign **Budget:** $50K | **Timeline:** May 15 → July 1 ### Objective Drive 5,000 pre-orders for the FitTrack Ring in 6 weeks (currently at 800 waitlist signups). ### Target Audience **Primary:** Health-conscious millennials (28-38), $75K+ income, already use a fitness app but frustrated with bulky wearables. They value aesthetics as much as function. **Key Insight:** They don't want to look like they're wearing medical equipment. Fashion first, data second. ### Key Message **Primary:** "The fitness tracker that disappears on your finger and appears in your insights." **Supporting:** 1. 7-day battery life (vs. daily charging) 2. Tracks sleep, HRV, and activity without a screen 3. Designed by a jewelry designer, not an engineer ### Tone & Manner Voice: Sleek, aspirational, effortless Think: Apple minimalism meets Glossier's self-confidence NOT: Tech-bro, clinical, or preachy about fitness ### Deliverables - Hero video (30s + 15s cutdown) for Instagram/TikTok - 5 static social posts (1080×1080 + 9:16) - Landing page redesign with pre-order flow - Email sequence (3 emails: tease → launch → urgency) ### Success Metrics - 5,000 pre-orders (primary) - $8 cost per acquisition (paid channels) - 25% email open rate on launch announcement
