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.

Source: https://www.aaaa.org/resource/4as-media-brief-template/ Answer: https://madgicx.com/labs/industries/arts-design-creative-services/marketing-advertising-design#answer-caf1-marketing-advertising-design-1

### Why define the approval path before concepting?

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.

### What should a design proposal say about revisions?

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.

### How can a buyer review an ad design beyond appearance?

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.
