Marketing & Advertising Design

Give the designer the objective, audience, required channels, brand voice and existing assets. The 4As media brief explicitly includes audience, channel and media-creative alignment fields.

A campaign brief can name contacts, checkpoints and sign-off, so creative changes have a clear owner. The 4As template includes those fields and a documented change process.

Name review stages, the approving person, files delivered and what becomes a new request. AIGA recommends making those boundaries visible rather than implying unlimited revision.

Ask for the rationale connecting a layout or component to the brief and constraint. AIGA says the useful artifact shows what it needed to do and how the team reviewed it; that is process evidence, not a conversion claim.
