The 4 Things We Need to Know For Your Clarity Brief

1. [PRODUCT/ SERVICE]

Think about what you’re offering. Keep it short and sweet – just a few words to describe your main product or service. For example, “Personalized meal planning app” or “Eco-friendly cleaning service.”

  1. Be specific: Clearly state what you’re offering.

3. [NICHE]

  1. Narrow down your segment to a more specific subgroup.
  2. Consider specific needs.

4. [CONTEXT]

Here’s where you really bring your persona to life! Imagine you’re describing a day in their life, their challenges, and what they’re looking for. Use 2-3 sentences to paint a picture of their world and how your product or service fits into it. Think about their feelings, frustrations, and hopes. You can also position your company here as the solution by briefly mentioning a targeted product or service.

  1. Aim for 1-3 concise sentences. Be brief but informative.
  2. Key elements to include:
      • Target audience’s specific needs or pain points
      • Current market situation or trends
      • Business goals or desired outcomes
  3. Be specific: Use concrete details rather than vague generalities.
  4. Avoid jargon: Use clear, straightforward language.

Focus on relevance: Include only information that’s directly pertinent to understanding your business situation.
