What is the best way to share my brand's voice with a content writer?

What should I include in the project brief for a content writer?

Include who the audience is, what tone you want, and any keywords or topics to focus on. You might add examples of similar writing that you like. The more details, the easier it is for the writer to deliver what you need.
