Hello, friends! I'm looking for a dope, tried-and-true, super incredible content brief/crystalizer template.

I started a new in-house role and there isn't any kind of pre-content-generation step here, which is clearly causing a pain point for the team. Creative teams (design and video) don't know what the key values/takeaways should be from final designed elements. As someone responsible for writing everything, I want to make sure we don't duplicate SEO keywords, understand why we're creating something, etc.

I'm looking to fix that 🫡 I wasn't in love with the brief format I used at my last job. Since there's nowhere but up, I'd love to use a crystalizer/brief template that other awesome content people use!

@Eric Doty (Superpath) beat me to it! I guess that’s why you’re a moderator . . . .

Beam Content has the best brief.

Thanks to everyone for your help on this!

I used Beam's brief as a starting point, then added elements from the Relato brief to make it more relevant to the team's specific pain points.

If anyone wants the final product, you can find it here to make a copy.
