Process

My process

Introduction

Headline Product name • What will the product be called

Introduction/Opening Paragraph • summarizes the key details of the product, including what the product is, who it’s for, and why it’s significant.

Product Description • Detailed information about the product, including its features, specific ones, and unique selling points.

Benefits and Value Proposition • Explain the main benefits for users or customers and how the product solves a problem or meets a need. • Highlight what makes the product different from competitors.

Target Audience • Identify who the product is designed for and why it’s relevant to them.

There are two approaches I prefer for creating the brief, and I’m happy with either:

Collaborative Call: We can have a call to discuss the details mentioned above, allowing me to build the brief based on our conversation.

Press Release Style: Alternatively, you can draft the brief as if your product is already complete and you’re announcing it to the press. Imagine there are no restrictions, and the product is exactly as you envision it. Include as much detail as possible about how you would present it to the press in its ideal form.
