Better Briefs with Will Humphrey
Next Workshop: TBA
Briefs are central to your job as a strategist (or as a client). They are a distillation of your thinking, a springboard to lead to brilliant work.
However, too many people either don't give them the respect they deserve, whether that's writing them quickly, 'filling in the boxes' or worst, handing out their briefs to be read rather than making the briefing itself a delight.
Come along if you'd like to refresh how you write briefs or conduct briefings; there's twenty top tips and a number of exercises to reinvigorate this essential part of the job.
​
Your tutor will be Will Humphrey, a Strategy Director at Wunderman Thompson. A strategist of fifteen years' experience, Will's worked at some of the best advertising, customer, PR and digital agencies in London, and loves brief writing.
Who is it for?
This training workshop is suitable for strategist, planner, researcher or client who wants lots of new ideas and approaches to help them write better and more inspiring briefs, or to understand how to recognise a good brief.

About the Tutor
Will Humphrey
Hello! I'm a Strategy Director at Wunderman Thompson. I have an integrated background, having worked in major Advertising, PR, CRM and Digital agencies. I've devised strategies for work that spans from an award-winning experiential VR Garden for Cancer Research, to a TV show for Budweiser at Anomaly, right through to reinvigorating the CRM for O2's Priority platform at LIDA. I have founded and run a planning department at Edelman (the world's largest PR firm), as well as running many successful new business pitches; from the PR for Samsung's 2012 Olympics bid, right through to Land Rover's CRM program or Norwegian Air's brand direction. Professionally, my goal is simple; to help create and shape great, forward thinking work. If you want to find out more about how I think, check out Will-Humphrey.com. Finally, i'm also very interested in mentoring junior people and helping and encouraging young people to join the advertising and communications sphere. I co-founded AdGrads, a popular graduate blog. The best of it now resides at the AdMISSION, a blog I co-write with the IPA, the advertising industry's governing body.
