Brief

In one line

A short document that says what work a brand needs, for whom, by when and on what terms.

A Lucknow boutique asks for one styling video in Hindi, for women who shop for weddings, by the 20th, with the facts the creator may claim.

A vague request gets work nobody expected. A brief is the cheapest place to settle a disagreement.

Agree: the format, the purpose, the deadline, the rights and the claims the creator may make. Write one with the free brief builder at /tools/brief-builder.
