Freelancers who start to do a lot of client work will soon realise they'll be taking lots of briefs - and while you can do it in person, on Zoom or over the phone, you can also send a client brief template to your clients as well. In this episode, we chat about:
- The various ways to take a brief and what works for us
- What you need to consider when taking a brief
- Your briefing template, or the client's?
- Key things you need to ask about (budget, target audience, goals, style + tone etc)
- What happens when you get the briefing process wrong or miss things
- The importance of recapping over email
