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!
