The Creator-to-Creator Brief. Built Live On Stage.

Tuesday 23 June, 11:15–11:45

Duration: 30 mins
Location: Creators Stage, The Palais

Description:

The creative brief hasn't failed, but the gap between those who write it and those who bring it to life has grown too vast. Briefs reaching creators are over-engineered and stacked with mandatories—the opposite of what unlocks culturally resonant work.

This introduces a new approach: the Creator-to-Creator Brief, written live on stage.

In the session, Janni Widerholm, Head of Social at TBWA\Chiat\Day Los Angeles joins in-house creator Irina Kirvesmaki and guest creator Lauren W. to build a brief from the creator perspective. Starting from a simple prompt, they'll shape it, bridging brand intention with creator instincts without over-controlling the outcome.

The audience will see how ideas evolve when creators are involved earlier, and how this partner methodology sparks disruptive creativity.
