CALLER: Brief due to stakeholders. Page is blank. Two sentences written in three weeks. Motivation: negative.
DIAGNOSIS: Chronic Brief Block. Severity: Career-threatening.
You know the feeling. The brief template sits in your docs folder like an accusation. You open it. You stare. You type “Campaign Overview:” and then your brain just… stops.
So you close it. You check Slack. You reorganize your desktop. You suddenly care very deeply about email. Thirty minutes later, you open it again. Delete what you wrote. Type one new sentence that’s somehow worse than before. Close it again.
Three weeks now. Your team keeps asking. Your agency is waiting. Your boss has that look — the one that says they’re about to ask why this “shouldn’t be that hard.” Your self-respect got on a plane Tuesday and didn’t tell you where it was going.
You know your brand. You know what you’re trying to do. You know this campaign inside out. But translating that into a clean, structured brief? Your brain won’t cooperate. Every sentence feels stiff. Every section feels incomplete.
