WRITTEN GUIDE

Everything the studio needs, in one request.

Northstar Creative sent Maya Chen at Harbor & Pine a link to their Creative Brief form. She answers the questions, adds her current label and a reference, confirms her email and gets a request number.

You don’t need an account or a login. Open your studio’s link to follow along. Your studio’s form may ask different questions.

  1. 01

    Your studio sends you a link to their brief form. The welcome page says what to expect, here that the project includes two revision rounds. Choose Start New Request.

  2. 02

    Answer the questions

    Answer the questions. The ones with a star are required.

  3. 03

    Add one file per upload field

    Each upload field takes one file. Maya adds her current label to the first field and a reference to the second.

    Have more files than upload fields? Send the most important ones here, and the rest once the studio replies.
  4. 04

    Security check, then Submit Request

    A security check runs on its own. Then choose Submit Request.

  5. 05

    Confirm your email

    We send a code to your email. Enter it to confirm your email, so the studio knows the brief came from you.

  6. 06

    Thank-you page and receipt email

    You land on the studio’s thank-you page, with your request number. A copy arrives by email, with a link back to your submission.

  7. 07

    What the studio sees

    On the studio’s side, your answers and both assets land in their Requests inbox. How the studio builds the form and handles requests is in Collect a client brief with an intake form.

    In short: open the studio’s link, answer the questions, add one file per upload field, and confirm your email. If the page says the form is no longer accepting requests, ask the studio for a current link.

Check the result

  • You answered every question with a star.
  • You added one file to each upload field you needed.
  • You chose Submit Request and confirmed your email with the code.
  • You saw the thank-you page with your request number, and got the receipt email.

If it didn’t work

I want to add a second file to an upload field.

Each upload field takes one file. Use the other upload fields on the form, or send the rest to the studio once they reply.

The page says the form is no longer accepting requests.

The studio no longer accepts requests through that form. Ask them for a current link.

I didn’t get the code.
