Global Campaign Brief

9-section creative brief: Context, Objectives, Target, Core Message, Creative Direction, Channel System, Timeline, Deliverables, Risks. Auto-triggers downstream skills (script, calendar, ad copy, UGC brief).

---

Step 0 — Read context file

Before writing the brief, read .agents/product-marketing-context-global.md to load:

• Product, USP, pricing
• Target region and currency
• Brand voice & visual identity
• Existing campaigns and lessons learned

If the file is missing, ask the user to run product-marketing-context-global first.

---

Information gathering

Ask the user up to 4 questions before starting:

1. Campaign type? Product launch / seasonal / brand awareness / clearance sale / re-launch?
2. Primary goal? Revenue [amount] / followers [count] / leads [count] / brand awareness [reach target]?
3. Budget and timeframe? Total budget, campaign duration (in weeks), start date.
4. Existing assets? Brand assets (logo, brand guide)? Testimonials / UGC? Existing customer database? Landing page?

Section 3 — Target audience

3.1 Customer profile

Attribute	Primary	Secondary
Age range	[range]	[range]
Gender	[male / female / all]
Region	[country / region]
Income	[bracket]
Occupation	[role]
Primary pain	[biggest problem]
Desire	[what they want]

3.2 Customer insight

Call skill 09-customer-insight-global to mine deeper insight.

Core insight: [insight statement]

3.3 Insight validation checklist

Verify the insight is actually an insight and not just an observation:

Criterion	Pass	Fail
Specific — Specific to this audience, not generic?	[ ]	[ ]
Hidden — Customer would not say it spontaneously?	[ ]	[ ]
Actionable — Can be turned into messaging / creative?	[ ]	[ ]
Emotional — Hits emotion, not only logic?	[ ]	[ ]
True — Backed by data / observation, not assumption?	[ ]	[ ]

Rule: Must pass at least 4 / 5. Otherwise it is an observation, not an insight. Mine again.

Distinguish:

• Observation: "Women 25–35 care about skincare" — everyone knows this, nothing new.
• Insight: "They buy serum not to have better skin — they buy a moment of self-care after an exhausting day." — emotional, actionable for creative.
