Under discussion

Working in a world where creative ideas are becoming increasingly important in reaching hard to find audiences, and technology is blurring the lines of how audiences engage with brands, how is the role of “the brief” evolving with it:

What makes a good brief?

How should we arrive at the right insight and direction for a brief without prescribing it?

How do we onboard the team with the same enthusiasm when we do the ceremonial brief?

How do we inspire the team to own the response and add value to this whilst maintaining the integrity of the brief?

How do we manage co-partners / agencies to align on a rapidly evolving direction, eg: media teams, development teams etc

About Kirsty Lieberthal

With over 20 years of experience working in high performance agencies across 3 continents, Kirsty worked across a wide range of disciplines such as advertising, brand strategy, below the line and digital within agency land. With a passion for digital Kirsty’s role is to facilitate brave, effective and integrated solutions for Frame’s clients.

Kirsty entered agency land as a graduate fresh into an Account Executive role in a global agency when the internet did not exist, traffic managers were ferocious beasts to be feared and Creative Directors were unapproachable gods to be kneeled before.

Fortunately, agencies have become far more democratic since then and there is much better collaboration between departments to arrive at creative solutions to a client’s brief. Having enjoyed working in a variety of agencies in an Account Management Kirsty worked into an MD role which returned said agency to profitability but took her away from the real action and client relationships. Kirsty is now in her dream role helping clients get the most out of their digital strategies and opportunities.
