How to: Write the perfect job brief

What is a creative brief?

A project brief gives you the opportunity as a Client to get Creatives excited about working with you and delivering the very best they have to offer. Every project is unique and will require a talented freelancer to fulfil your requirement to a high standard.

Give as much information as you can about your project so freelancers are able to cater their pitches, and reference their most relevant work.

Your project details brokendown:

What is this project? (Logo Design, Video Explainer, Pitch Deck…)

Who is it for? (Your Business, A Website, YouTube...)

Why are we doing it? (Brand Awareness, Promotion, Art Project...)

When does it need to be done? (Turn-around will affect creatives pitching)

Where and how will it be used? (Delivery channels, file types, Online/Offline?)

Creatives will use the brief to check whether they’ve got the right skills for the job, so write a detailed project specification in the project description box.

If they can’t work out what you need, they’ll pass you by. The more information your creative has the better job they can do. Here are some things to consider –

Deadline

Budget

Software/hardware needed

Local/remote

What’s the purpose of the project? Who’s the intended audience?

Style/genre
