Creative brief example:

Quick brief idea - STRATEGY DECISION:

The champion is the main character on each side's team. Since we have to make a strategic decision, this will be the main topic of this creative. We have to decide - going back and attacking from defense? Or jump with our champion on an enemy field with a heroic win (or lose)

Scenario:

  • We are zoomed in on our champion.

  • The camera zooms out so we see the whole map

  • The scene goes dark, only our hero is visible.

  • The headline will show up as “CRUCIAL STRATEGIC DECISION”

  • Option 1: Attack from defense

  • Option 2: Attack with all power

  • We click on Option 2

  • We see gameplay and our hero jumps on the enemy's field and dies after a battle :(

  • The screen goes dark again with the headline “WRONG X”

  • Endscreen with the headline: “Can you do better?” Button: Try no/End screen if win “The best defense is a good offense” Button: Play now/

  • Progression concepts:

    Quick brief idea Day 1 vs. Day 30
    This creative is showing progress in a game.

    • The screen is divided into 2 parts.

    • On the left side, we see literally first-day gameplay:

    • heroes & troops are on a basic level

    • there is a headline DAY 1 in a creative

    • On the right side is exactly the opposite with the headline DAY 30

    • There is so much more to try!
