What to ask before you brief
Which elements will be generated and which filmed, and who decides. How product, label and material accuracy is reviewed. Whether performers are synthetic and how that is disclosed. Which delivery specifications the master is finished to for CTV, YouTube and social. Whether the price is fixed before production. What rights the brand receives and in what territories.
