Creative Briefs for Advertising & Design

How to Build a Brief from Start to Finish

About the Course

A BRIEF is an essential tool for working on an advertising or design project in an agency, company, or studio. A Brief guides art directors, copywriters, designers, and other agency members throughout the creative process and helps work to stay aligned with client goals and objectives.

Creative Briefs for Advertising and Design helps you understand the part of a brief and teaches you to write one. You'll find relevant examples, proprietary downloads & tools in this course so that you’re ready to jump right in on client-based work.

Years ago I saw that creative bootcamps, portfolio schools, and most design and ad programs aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. There is no good fit for the working adult or for the student who needs to learn remotely. Plus, the one-size-fits-all portfolio doesn’t work for career opportunities that are opening up in creative industries, every day.

As Co-founder of Portfolio Studio and Founder of Portfolio MasterClass, I’ve tailored my courses to fit HOW students want to learn through self-directed studies, small group learning, team, and one-on-one courses. The teaching methods I use can help you develop your creative thinking and unique talents for transformation.

My grads have landed jobs in top-notch agencies and studios in the US and around the world. They’ve won numerous awards including ADDYs, Clios, and recognition in publications including Print, Archive, CMYK, & Applied Arts.

When we work together, I’ll tailor a very specific path for you, to meet your career and creative goals.
