Quick answer

Have a prospect fill this in before any proposal or kickoff to lock goals, audience, budget and success metrics, turning a vague enquiry into a scoped project. Stated budgets are indicative until they are formally approved on the client side.

About this template

Discovery calls feel productive but the client's numbers usually stay fuzzy. This brief lets them fill in goals, audience, KPIs, budget band, timeline and past work offline — you walk into the call with a written context they authored, so the conversation is a discussion instead of an interrogation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does a project brief beat a discovery call as the first step?
Calls feel productive but the same five questions resurface each time and the client rarely remembers their own numbers. A structured brief lets the client think offline and hand you goals, budget, timeline and success metrics in their own words.
How is this different from a quote request form?
A quote request is transactional — scope and budget, priced fast. A project brief is deeper: it captures strategic context (audience, positioning, past campaigns, internal constraints) so the proposal reflects the real problem.
What sections should a marketing brief include?
Business background, target audience, campaign goals and KPIs, current channels and assets, budget band, timeline, decision-makers, and past work that did or didn't land.
Is it free?
Yes. One click copies the form and branding into your FormLM workspace at no cost.
