Stage 2 of 6, Strategy

Brief 2 Strategy

Does the 11pm part of the job: turning a messy client brief into a platform you can defend.

Draft. The use cases, the sample output and the walkthrough are dummy text, shown in red.

What goes in

The client brief, however it arrives.

What comes out

A strategic platform with its reasoning shown.

Who signs it off

The strategy director. Nothing moves to the next stage until they do.

Where it sits

Stage 2 of 6, strategy. It starts from what the Brand Researcher hands over, and its output goes to the Strategy 2 Creative Memo.

When teams use it

  • A strategy director, the night before a pitch.
  • A planner, when the client brief is a forwarded email thread.
  • An account team, testing whether a brief is answerable before accepting it.

A sample output

Sample platform, fictional coffee brand.

The problem: the brand is liked but not chosen.

The insight: people pick the nearest cup, then defend the choice.

The platform: Worth the detour. Reasoning: it turns distance, the brand's weakness, into proof of quality.
