The Creative Brief

―it‘s the cornerstone of any ad agency, but lately, it feels like the Creative Brief is not enough.

The Creative Brief

―Regardless of whether or not a brief is well written, there is no guarantee that good ideas will follow.

The Creative Brief

―Truth is, there is no precedent for some of the work we do today.‖

The Creative Brief

―some of us will getlucky and achieve something amazing---but if we follow each other down the same path, many of us will never reach such great heights.‖
