Critique a Creative Brief Before the Agency Runs With It

The brief is written, the agency is keen to start, and a vague brief now turns into expensive confusion later. This checks whether there is one clear objective or three competing ones, whether the audience is specific enough to brief a team, and where the gaps are. You fix it before the budget burns. For anyone signing off a brief.

**Catch the gaps before production money is spent.**
1. Check whether the brief has a single clear objective or tries to do too many things.
2. Assess whether the target audience is specific enough to brief a creative team.
3. Flag any mandatories or constraints that are vague or potentially contradictory.
4. Identify what success looks like: is it measurable?
5. Name the one thing most likely to cause a misalignment between the brief and the final work.
