Brand kit/Creative Briefs

Assign · Track · The job spine

Every creative job, a living brief — that tracks itself

Turn a winning ad and an objective into an assigned job — your job number, the references, the deliverables, the brand mandatories, the assignee, the due date. Then the status advances itself as the work moves through the review board and client approval. No status dropdowns anywhere.

The anti-PM-tool

Status reports itself

There is no status dropdown anywhere on a brief. The job advances because the work actually happened — assigning, the designer's tap, work landing on the review board, a client approving. The top lane below is derived; nothing on it is clickable.

Born from your winners

A brief starts on the evidence — drop a proven ad straight onto a job from the intelligence libraries.

The designer's one tap

Accept & Start is the only touch that moves it forward — the buyer sees it's picked up.

Clients close the loop

A client decision on the review link flips the status and emails both of you.

Born from your winners

A brief starts where the evidence lives. The clipboard icon sits on every intelligence card — see a winner, drop it on a job.

Ad Intelligence

The clipboard on any market-ad card drops it onto a job — copy, formula, and score ride along.

Social Intelligence

Same gesture on any post — external posts keep their platform link; the video is never copied off-platform.

Competitor Pulse

The clipboard on the ADS lane boards a competitor's winner onto the job you're building.

Your own research

Drag files from your desktop straight onto the brief — client ads to revise, mood images, anything.

References carry their provenance

A platform-made reference links back to the exact project that generated it and the campaign that ran it — the designer opens the winner's actual working setup, not a flattened JPEG.

Notes are human-to-human

A per-reference note (“this hook — NOT this palette”) is for your designer to read — deliberately never fed into AI generation, so direction stays clean.

The living job page

Everything about the job on one surface — editable in place, and true to what's actually happened.

Objective

Done is objective

Deliverable lines — “3× static 1:1 · 2× video 9:16 :15s” — each with a derived state chip and progress counts. Approved means every line hit its quantity, not vibes.

Mandatories

The brand travels with the job

Brand colors as real swatches, type direction, and record-level strategy picks — choose which avatar persona rides this job (the chip lights amber).

Q&A

Questions live on the job

Clarifying questions thread on the brief, not in Slack. To: pills direct who gets it; recipients get an email with a reply link.

Review

The board, mirrored

The linked review board reflected on the brief — totals, approvals, and the full review player: timecoded and pinned comments on video and stills, threads, resolve.

Trust

Read receipts

The first time an assignee opens the brief — “read Jul 10”, or an amber “not opened yet”. Assigned Monday, unopened Thursday is a signal you see at a glance.

Handoff

Print & Package Brief

Print the whole job to PDF, or Package Brief — one labeled zip with the references, their analysis, and the mandatories. The bridge to an external designer.

Claude, your traffic manager

One sentence, a whole job

Pull-report → collect creative → write the brief → attach → assign → email used to take an afternoon. Now it's a sentence — Claude reads it and runs the whole play, with the same permissions you have in the app.

“Board our top 5 winners and brief Steve + Amy — due Friday — and notify them.”

The job now runs itself — status derives as they deliver, and you ask Claude “what needs my attention?” each morning.

Brief from your winners

Ask Claude to

“Board our top 5 Meta winners and brief Steve and Amy to iterate them — due Friday — and let them know.”

The morning standup

Ask Claude to

“What needs my attention across my clients this morning?”

Record a call decision

Ask Claude to

“The client rejected the snowboard comp on our call — record that on job 24-ACM-0147 and add a 9:16 cut to the deliverables.”

Private by invitation

Assignment is the invitation

Requester roles run the wall; designers see only the jobs assigned to them — deep links included. An agency's Nike work is invisible to a designer who isn't on it.

Delete ≠ Archive

Finished work is Closed and kept forever. Delete is internal-only and only for cancelled jobs — the linked review board and its work are never deleted.

Where this is heading

Coming

On the roadmap — not live yet.

Plain-language wall search

“Overdue video jobs assigned to Sarah” as a sentence, not filters.

The standup report page

Ask Claude for a client-ready jobs report — a hosted link, like Campaign Pulse.

Due-date discipline emails

A T-48h nudge to a designer who hasn't delivered — and it stops the moment they act.

External share-link briefs

A freelancer opens the living brief (and uploads back) without a seat.

Performance on the brief

Published work pulls its numbers back onto the job; “iterate on this brief” carries what won.
