Most creator briefs fail before the creator even reads them.
After writing briefs for 50+ creators over 4.5 years, the pattern was consistent: briefs that were too long got ignored. Briefs that were too vague got interpreted wrong. Briefs that led with the product instead of the story got stiff, scripted content.
The one thing that actually worked: telling the creator what feeling to create, not what to say.
Give them the emotion. Give them the constraint. Get out of the way.
That's the brief structure I use now across every campaign.

Work Title: CapCut Kids
Main Direction: Direction A — CapCut as a Different Industry
Secondary Element: Direction B — CapCut as a Persona through CapPanda
Concept Statement:
CapCut Kids reimagines CapCut as a safe, playful, and educational video platform for children and families.
The concept translates CapCut from a creative technology tool into a new kids entertainment and learning universe where children can watch, learn, play, and explore through age-appropriate shows, interactive quizzes, creative activities, family experiences, and parent-controlled safety features.
The original CapCut mark remains the foundation of the identity. It is softened, rounded, and transformed into a friendly 3D form, welcoming CapPanda into the logo and turning the brand into a warmer, more emotional, character-driven world.
CapCut Kids keeps CapCut’s core spirit of accessible creativity and visual storytelling, while expanding it into a new industry built around trust, imagination, safety, and joyful design.
The project includes, among other elements:
• Logo evolution and new brand identity
• Mascot system
• Web platform experience
• Mobile app adaptation
• Social media ecosystem
• App store concept
Core Promise of CapCut Kids:
Watch. Learn. Play. Grow.

Awesome
Always, every time!
Day 2: The idea is starting to feel real.
I'm participating in Contra's Config Makeathon.
Yesterday was about choosing what to build.
Today was about choosing how it should feel.
Spent the day exploring the visual direction, refining the first screens, and asking a question I think more products should ask:
How do you make software feel less like software?
Still a long way to go.
But seeing the first version come together is a different kind of motivation.
Back to Figma.
