Free Creative-Brief Template for B2B Teams: Set Every Project Up for a Win

If you’ve ever launched a project and felt the team orbit in circles, you already know what a fuzzy brief costs: extra rounds, late nights, and the dreaded “Hmm, that’s not what I meant.” In B2B work, where every asset has to nail brand, message, and timing, a crisp brief isn’t a nice-to-have; it’s air.

We’ve watched a solid brief shave whole days off schedules and turn good work into great work. So we’re giving away the template we rely on at Elemento Zero, pre-filled with pointers for anyone who hasn’t written a brief before.

What Makes This Brief Different?

  1. Plain-English prompts. No jargon; just quick cues so writers, designers, and execs fill in the same blanks.
  2. B2B-first fields. KPIs, buying committees, approval chains, the stuff consumer templates forget.
  3. Zero fluff. Eight sections, one page. Less scrolling, more clarity.'

The Eight Sections You’ll Fill Out

# Section Why it matters
1 Project snapshot A tweet-length answer to “What are we doing?”
2 Goals & KPIs How we’ll know the work paid off
3 Audience Who signs, who uses, who influences
4 Key message & tone The single idea every deliverable must carry
5 Deliverables & specs File types, sizes, “need by” dates
6 Brand rules Links to logos, colors, no-go examples
7 Timeline & milestones Major check-ins, not just the final date
8 Stakeholders & sign-offs The people, their roles, and how to reach them

Each box comes with a tip in gray text, kill it after you’ve filled in the real info.

Download the Template (With Built-In Tips)

One button, one tiny form, instant download. The template comes as a Google Doc you can plug into Notion, ClickUp, or any setup you like.

How We Use It (Feel Free to Steal the Playbook)

  1. Start every project, even “quick” ones with the brief. Ten minutes up front beats two extra rounds later.
  2. Fill it out together. Marketing, design, sales: one call, shared doc, done.
  3. Repeat yourself if it helps. If last week’s brand guidelines still apply, paste them again. Clarity beats novelty.
  4. Keep it visible. Pin it in Slack, link it in Asana, whatever stops “Can you resend the brief?” messages.
  5. Check back mid-flight. Scope creep loves silence; the brief keeps everyone honest.
