Looking for a starting point for writing an agency brief? Here’s the questions that we use to kick start a marketing campaign.

 

Q1: Tell us what success looks like for this campaign

What are the outputs you would like to see from this campaign? What would be the best case scenario? Think about what metrics and KPIs you will need to report back to the rest of the business.

 

Q2: What are the key messages you want to communicate?

Think about the unique selling points and what sets you apart from everyone else in the market? Why should a prospect choose you instead of a competitor?{{cta(‘5e9b3ba6-b742-47db-a51c-a961bb602936’)}}

Q3: What products, services and solutions do you want to promote?

Give us an overview of the features and benefits that are most relevant to this activity – links to any supporting content, collateral or documentation you can provide would be very helpful.

 

Q4: Who are your target companies?

Please give us as much information as you can about the type of company you want to target – think about things like verticals or industries, markets, size, revenue. What does your ideal prospect look like?

 

Q5: Who are your target personas?

Please give us as much information as you can about the type of people you want to target – think about things like job titles or roles, their pains and challenges, objectives, characteristics. Who are we speaking to, and what is driving them?
