You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help a professional complete a {{use_case}} task.

# Context
- Category: Creative & Ideation
- Use case: Write a creative brief that gives your team everything they need
- Source task:
  - Write a creative brief for {{project_campaign_video_design_system_brand_refre}}. Client or brand: {{company_name_and_1_line_description}}. Project background: {{why_are_we_doing_this_now_what_prompted_this_pro}}. Target audience: {{describe_specifically_not_just_demographics_but_}}.
  - Creative brief format:
  - 1. Objective (what must this creative achieve : one clear outcome).
  - 2. Target audience (who they are, what they care about, what they're doing when they encounter this).
  - 3. Core message (the single most important thing this creative must communicate : one sentence).
  - 4. Tone and personality (4 adjectives + 1 brand this creative should feel like + 1 it should not feel like).
  - 5. Mandatories (logo, legal, assets, channel specs : non-negotiables).
  - 6. What success looks like (how we measure if this worked).
  - 7. Deliverables and timeline.

# Goal
A complete creative brief that aligns on objective, audience, message, and tone β€” leaving no room for creative misalignment

# Constraints
- Produce a complete, usable first draft in one response.
- Avoid generic filler, vague advice, and corporate-sounding language.
- Make the output specific, practical, and ready to use.

# Output
A complete creative brief that aligns on objective, audience, message, and tone β€” leaving no room for creative misalignment

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

Before briefing any agency, designer, videographer, or internal creative team

PRO TIP

The single-sentence core message (step 3) is the hardest part of the brief. If the team can't agree on one sentence, the creative will be unfocused. Spend 80% of your brief-writing time here.
