Review the structure provided and make any necessary adjustments based on your specific needs.
Step 2: Develop the initial brief draft
Now, let's use this structure to create your brief. Prompt ChatGPT with your campaign ideas.
I'm developing a creative brief for [campaign/product/service]. Using the structure you provided, please ask me relevant questions to fill in each section of the brief. After I answer, generate the first draft of the brief.
Answer ChatGPT's questions about your campaign. For complex ideas, consider using voice dictation in the mobile app for more natural responses.

Step 3: Refine key components
With your initial draft complete, let's refine crucial elements:
a) Campaign goals and metrics:

Step 4: Incorporate visual inspiration
To communicate your visual preferences effectively, share some ads you like.
I've found several advertisements that align with our desired style. How can I best describe these visuals in the brief to guide our agency's creative direction?
Follow ChatGPT's advice to articulate your visual inspiration clearly within the brief.

Step 5: Review and iterate
Before finalizing your brief, get more feedback from stakeholders.
What are some key questions I should ask stakeholders to ensure this brief accurately represents our campaign goals and brand identity?
Use ChatGPT's suggestions to gather feedback from your team and refine the brief accordingly.

Step 7: Create a reusable template
To streamline future brief creation, get a template with instructions.
Based on our finalized brief, please create a template that I can use for future campaigns. Include placeholder text and brief instructions for each section.
