Event Details
Many creative marketing projects get underway without a clear sense of expectations between the client and the creative folks (whether in-house or freelance) delivering it. The result? An extended and expensive creative development process with many revisions – not to mention chewed-up nails, bruised egos and depleted momentum.
Taking the time and energy up front to craft a thorough creative brief will save you time and money, and ensure you get the creative marketing campaign you envisioned.
At this interactive event, you will:
- Understand how to convey your vision
- Learn what makes a good brief
- Discover common mistakes and how to avoid them
- Find out how to avoid "brief creep" (more time and more money!)
Our experienced panel will share case studies, tips and tricks with you.
