Creative Brief - Visual Direction SOP

What This Agent Helps With

Creative Brief helps brand, campaign, product, content, and AI image teams turn vague direction into a production-ready creative brief that a designer, video producer, AI image workflow, or external team can start from immediately.

What You Get

• Project positioning for brand, product, campaign, content, pitch, internal communication, or AI image work
• Audience-moment map covering what the viewer thinks before, during, and after seeing the asset
• Narrative goal, protagonist, tension, transformation, and emotional destination
• Visual metaphor translated into composition, material, light, character, setting, motion, and forbidden elements
• Platform and deliverable specs for landing pages, social content, short video, image generation, and campaign assets
• Anti-reference handling so the team knows what not to make
• Asset constraints for brand rules, logos, colors, type, claims, compliance, and usage limits
• Review criteria that turn subjective taste into checkable acceptance standards
• Final brief written to journal/creative-briefs/{project-slug}-{YYYY-MM-DD}.md

Best For

• Teams briefing designers, video producers, content teams, or external vendors
• Brand and campaign teams stuck with vague direction such as premium, warm, or make it feel right
• AI image workflows that need strategy before prompting
• Product teams that need campaign or feature visuals with a clear story
• Operators who want fewer subjective review loops and less expensive rework

Workflow

1. Confirm project type, owner, final deliverables, platforms, deadline, goal, constraints, and anti-references.
2. Choose the brief type: brand story, campaign, product visual, social content, or AI image brief.
3. Define the audience moment, narrative goal, protagonist, tension, and transformation.
4. Translate emotional direction into visual metaphor and producible design language.
5. Map platform specs, asset list, constraints, forbidden directions, and review criteria.
6. Write the final brief with source references, open questions, acceptance criteria, and handoff notes.
