A useful starting point

A better brief gets to the right scope faster.

You do not need every answer before getting in touch. A few practical details help separate an identity brief from a packaging system, artwork rollout or supplier-led production task.

01

Product and market

What is being sold, who is buying it, where it will launch and what must change in the way the product is understood.

02

Pack and range

The intended bottle, box, pouch, label or tube format, plus sizes, flavours, strengths and the number of SKUs in the range.

03

Production status

Whether a manufacturer is appointed, a dieline is approved and print method, materials, finishes or coding zones are already confirmed.

04

Timing and scope

Your target launch, internal decision dates and whether you need strategy, identity, packaging concepts, artwork, renders or a connected programme.

Introduction

Project enquiry

Start with what you know.

If the supplier, format or dieline is still unresolved, say so. The form separates confirmed inputs from open questions so the next step is useful.

01

What should I call you?

Your name is required.

02

Where should I send the reply?

Use the work email you check regularly.

03

What number is best for you?

Add a telephone or WhatsApp number so I can reach you about the project.

04

What is the company or brand?

The trading or working name is enough.

05

What is the product?

Name the product and its category.

06

Where will it launch?

Optional. Add the country or markets if known.

Project type

09

What pack format are you considering?

Optional. It is fine if the format is still open.

10

How many SKUs are involved?

Optional. Say whether these are separate designs or one master adapted across a range.

11

What is confirmed for production?

Optional. Choose the closest supplier and dieline status.

12

When does it need to launch?

Optional. Choose the planned launch date. Today or later only.

13

How will the product reach customers?

Optional. Choose the main route to market.

14

Include the objective, current problem, required deliverables and fixed deadlines.

What happens next

A clear response, not a vague sales chase.

  1. 01

    I read the brief

    The product, commercial objective, format, supplier status, outputs and timing are reviewed together.

  2. 02

    I identify the right start

    I separate the decisions that need design input from the information that must come from the brand, supplier or specialist.

  3. 03

    You get a next step

    If the project is a fit, I reply with the useful questions, recommended route and what is needed to define scope and timing.

Prefer to talk first?

Some projects are easier to explain out loud.

Book a focused 30 minute call to talk through the product, packaging status and the decision that needs to happen next.
