This three-hour virtual open enrollment workshop will change your thinking about a document too often taken for granted and too easily underestimated.

Led by the author of two critically acclaimed textbooks, How To Write A Single-Minded Proposition and How To Write An Inspired Creative Brief, and a former ad agency creative director, this workshop presents examples of outstanding creative briefs written in the United States and the United Kingdom. You’ll examine how they use language to bring clarity and inspiration to the creative brief process.

This engaging, interactive workshop will engage you with individual exercises, and challenge you to think differently about creative briefs.
