A good brief isn’t a document – it’s a 30-minute conversation with structure. Here are the six things to cover before any crew shows up.
1. The outcome
What do you want to walk away with? A launch film, three testimonials, proof the booth was busy? Start here. Everything else serves this.
2. The must-get moments
List the non-negotiables – your keynote slot, a specific partner, the product demo. If the crew gets nothing else, they get these.
3. The people
Who’s on camera, who can give a testimonial, who’s the spokesperson. Names and times, ideally booked in advance.
4. The deliverables and timing
- What formats you need – reel, social cuts, testimonials
- When you need them – 48 hours? same day?
- Where they’re going – LinkedIn, sales, the website
5. The brand guardrails
Logo usage, tone, anything that’s off-limits. A two-line note here saves a reshoot.
6. Logistics
Booth location, schedule, a quiet spot for interviews, and who the crew calls on the day. Done. That’s the whole brief.
