description: "Use when a specific campaign needs a brief the whole team can execute from — context, objective, audience, core message, creative direction, channels, deliverables, week-by-week timeline, approval gates, and risks. Trigger on 'campaign brief', 'creative brief', 'launch brief', 'brief the team on this campaign', 'we are running a promo next month', 'what is the plan for this campaign'. Also use when the user describes a promotion out loud and asks for something the team can actually run. Not for — the whole period plan, see `00-marketing-plan-global`; the list of design files needed, see `41-campaign-asset-list-global`; assigning work to one person, see `64-team-brief-global`; a new product launch sequence, see `59-go-to-market-global`."

Global Campaign Brief

> 9-section creative brief: Context, Objectives, Target, Core Message, Creative Direction, Channel System, Timeline, Deliverables, Risks. Auto-triggers downstream skills (script, calendar, ad copy, UGC brief).

---

Step 0 — Read context file

Before writing the brief, read `.agents/product-marketing-context-global.md` to load:

• Product, USP, pricing
• Target region and currency
• Brand voice & visual identity
• Existing campaigns and lessons learned

If the file is missing, ask the user to run `product-marketing-context-global` first.

Information gathering

Ask the user up to 4 questions before starting:

1. **Campaign type?** Product launch / seasonal / brand awareness / clearance sale / re-launch? 2. **Primary goal?** Revenue [amount] / followers [count] / leads [count] / brand awareness [reach target]? 3. **Budget and timeframe?** Total budget, campaign duration (in weeks), start date. 4. **Existing assets?** Brand assets (logo, brand guide)? Testimonials / UGC? Existing customer database? Landing page?

Section 3 — Target audience

3.1 Customer profile

| Attribute | Primary | Secondary | |-----------|---------|-----------| | Age range | [range] | [range] | | Gender | [male / female / all] | | | Region | [country / region] | | | Income | [bracket] | | | Occupation | [role] | | | Primary pain | [biggest problem] | | | Desire | [what they want] | | | Barrier | [why they have not bought] | | | Channels used | [TikTok / Meta / LinkedIn / etc.] | | | Influencers | [who / what they trust] | |

3.2 Customer insight

> Call skill `09-customer-insight-global` to mine deeper insight.

**Core insight:** [insight statement]

3.3 Insight validation checklist

Verify the insight is actually an insight and not just an observation:

| Criterion | Pass | Fail | |-----------|------|------| | **Specific** — Specific to this audience, not generic? | [ ] | [ ] | | **Hidden** — Customer would not say it spontaneously? | [ ] | [ ] | | **Actionable** — Can be turned into messaging / creative? | [ ] | [ ] | | **Emotional** — Hits emotion, not only logic? | [ ] | [ ] | | **True** — Backed by data / observation, not assumption? | [ ] | [ ] |

**Rule:** Must pass at least 4 / 5. Otherwise it is an observation, not an insight. Mine again.

**Distinguish:**

• Observation: "Women 25–35 care about skincare" — everyone knows this, nothing new.
• Insight: "They buy serum not to have better skin — they buy a moment of self-care after an exhausting day." — emotional, actionable for creative.
