The documents a plan needs, with the headings already right.
- The message house template: one umbrella message, the pillars and the proofA one-page house that turns a brand platform into messages every team can use: the umbrella message on the roof, three or four pillars, the proof points under each, and the values and facts that hold the foundation. A practitioners' tool whose origin is unclear.
- The creative brief template: one problem, one insight, one propositionThe page a planner hands to a creative team: the problem the work must solve, the audience and the insight, the single proposition and its proof, the tone, and what the work should make people think, feel and do. From the account-planning tradition and the industry's briefing guides.
