Campaign brief
A template for a short campaign brief that keeps every idea and ad in a campaign on the same track.
A campaign's brief says who the campaign is for, what to say, what to show and what to stay away from. Goose follows it for every idea and ad in the campaign. Your AI app can write it for you, or you can fill in this template. See Campaigns.

- Open Campaigns and choose Start a campaign in Make. Pick the products, then give it a name, a goal and what it makes.
- Paste your brief into What do you want? (optional). For a brief longer than 4,000 characters, set up the campaign first, then use Edit the brief on its Plan tab.
- Choose Copy for your AI app and paste it into your AI app. It writes the ideas from your brief, and they land under To decide on the campaign's Plan tab.
- Approve the ideas worth making and Drop the rest. Then choose Make ads.
Each save of the brief makes a new version, so you can change it as you learn.
Tips
- Keep it short. A few clear lines beat a long document.
- Only list proof that's in your brand brain. Goose won't use a claim you haven't approved.
- Add up to 12 references with Add a reference on the Plan tab, like ads you like or your best product photos, to show the feel you want.
