02 Campaign Brief Global

Global Campaign Brief

> 9-section creative brief: Context, Objectives, Target, Core Message, Creative Direction, Channel System, Timeline, Deliverables, Risks. Auto-triggers downstream skills (script, calendar, ad copy, UGC brief).

---

Step 0 — Read context file

Before writing the brief, read .agents/product-marketing-context-global.md to load:

• Product, USP, pricing
• Target region and currency
• Brand voice & visual identity
• Existing campaigns and lessons learned

If the file is missing, ask the user to run product-marketing-context-global first.

---

Information gathering

Ask the user up to 4 questions before starting:

1. Campaign type? Product launch / seasonal / brand awareness / clearance sale / re-launch?
2. Primary goal? Revenue [amount] / followers [count] / leads [count] / brand awareness [reach target]?
3. Budget and timeframe? Total budget, campaign duration (in weeks), start date.
4. Existing assets? Brand assets (logo, brand guide)? Testimonials / UGC? Existing customer database? Landing page?

Section 1 — Context

1.1 Overview

| Item | Detail | |------|--------| | Campaign name | [name] | | Type | Launch / Seasonal / Awareness / Sales / Re-launch | | Brand | [brand name] | | Product / service | [short description] | | Reason for running | [why now? what is the trigger?] |

1.2 Market situation

| Factor | Description | |--------|-------------| | Industry trend | [current trend] | | Customer behaviour this season | [what shifted?] | | What competitors are doing | [notable competitor activity] | | Opportunity to capture | [market gap] |

Section 2 — Objectives

2.1 SMART goals

| Type | Goal | Measured by | Deadline | |------|------|-------------|----------| | Business | [e.g., $50K revenue in 4 weeks] | Revenue, GMV | [date] | | Marketing | [e.g., 5,000 messages, CPMess 3x | | | CPL | [amount] | [benchmark] | | | Reach | [count] | | | | Engagement rate | [%] | | | | Orders | [count] | | |

Section 3 — Target audience

3.1 Customer profile

| Attribute | Primary | Secondary | |-----------|---------|-----------| | Age range | [range] | [range] | | Gender | [male / female / all] | | | Region | [country / region] | | | Income | [bracket] | | | Occupation | [role] | | | Primary pain | [biggest problem] | | | Desire | [what they want] | | | Barrier | [why they have not bought] | | | Channels used | [TikTok / Meta / LinkedIn / etc.] | | | Influencers | [who / what they trust] | |

3.2 Customer insight

> Call skill 09-customer-insight-global to mine deeper insight.

Core insight: [insight statement]

3.3 Insight validation checklist

Verify the insight is actually an insight and not just an observation:

| Criterion | Pass | Fail | |-----------|------|------| | Specific — Specific to this audience, not generic? | [ ] | [ ] | | Hidden — Customer would not say it spontaneously? | [ ] | [ ] | | Actionable — Can be turned into messaging / creative? | [ ] | [ ] | | Emotional — Hits emotion, not only logic? | [ ] | [ ] | | True — Backed by data / observation, not assumption? | [ ] | [ ] |

Rule: Must pass at least 4 / 5. Otherwise it is an observation, not an insight. Mine again.

Distinguish:

• Observation: "Women 25–35 care about skincare" — everyone knows this, nothing new.
• Insight: "They buy serum not to have better skin — they buy a moment of self-care after an exhausting day." — emotional, actionable for creative.
