Julian Cole is the Strategy Principal at the Strategy Finishing School, where more than 4,000 strategies from agencies, clients and elsewhere have come to round out their strategic capabilities, particularly when it comes to briefing. Julian has a particular interest in improving briefing, particularly the creative brief. 

For over a decade, procurement has been looking for ways to reduce marketing and advertising costs. One of the main focuses has been reducing agency fees. But of course, there was a more effective solution, but perhaps not an easier solution to improving advertising and marketing outputs and effectiveness while at the same time reducing waste. 

That is by improving briefing. The way clients brief their agencies. And how agencies develop creative briefs for themselves. Julian shares his insights on how to improve the creative brief and the distinct differences between a client brief to the agency sand the agency creative brief.
