RGD Webinar: 11 Questions a Creative Brief should answer

Presented by Douglas Davis

 
 
Description:
 
The shifts within the business landscape have given creatives leverage to influence brands from within. To achieve that, I believe designers must retrain the way we listen.

This webinar will focus on improving the communication in the creative process as we examine the 11 elements of a creative brief. Our role as creative people requires us to step into the shoes of our business or marketing counterparts as we turn the rational language of business into the emotional language of design.

Translating marketing-speak into a strategic tool will help you and your team create better work. Use these 11 points to develop your own brief, and learn what questions to ask when the information you’re given falls short.
