The Copy Brief That Actually Works
THE EXACT BRIEF I USE TO GET BETTER WORK APPROVED FASTER, WITHOUT ENDLESS REWRITES OR VAGUE FEEDBACK.
Most copy problems aren’t actually copy problems. They’re briefing problems.
If your campaigns keep missing the mark, your agency keeps going off track, or you’re stuck in endless rounds of “can we tweak this…” - it usually starts here.
A weak brief creates weak work.
A clear brief changes everything.
Why This Works (when other briefs don’t)
Most briefs fail because they try to say everything and end up saying nothing clearly.
They focus on:
-
Demographics over behaviour
-
Outputs over outcomes
-
Multiple messages instead of one clear direction
Which leads to:
-
Misaligned work
-
Endless rewrites
-
Slower timelines
-
Frustrating feedback loops
This brief fixes that.
It gives your copywriter (or your team) the clarity they actually need to deliver stronger work, first time.
Inside, you’ll get:
-
The exact briefing structure I use across campaigns
-
A fully filled-in example so you know what “good” looks like
-
Clear guidance on how to approach key sections
-
Real examples of weak vs strong briefs
-
A tool you can reuse for every campaign
This isn’t about filling in a document. It’s about improving the quality of the work you get back - immediately.
