What does a "useful" brief consist of?
Below is an example of the type of brief we’d prefer.
Comprehensive Blog Brief: produced this deliverable
Main Keyword: Indoor Drones
Title: Top 5 Benefits of Indoor Drones for Safety Inspection
Keywords:
-
indoor drones
-
drone safety inspection
-
indoor drone security
-
indoor surveillance drone
-
small indoor drone
-
programmable indoor drone
-
robot interior
Thought leadership style:
-
NOT self promotional
-
NOT advertorial
-
NOT pushy/sales-ey
-
focus on value and thought leadership
-
only mention client and product at the end
Opening must include
-
market trends in security and safety in the past
-
a tease to what we should expect from now on
Voice/Style/Format reference:
Title of the blog is non-negotiable
Subheadings/sections/advantages must include:
-
Speed
-
Useful data
-
Enhanced safety
Promote indoor drones and dictate how much it is the most advanced/the right thing to do BUT - don’t say it in so many words! We are the best solution for you - no! Talk AROUND it.
INTRO
-
Marketing trends of indoor drones - what are they? What are the uses of indoor drones today? (iRobot, other examples)
-
Then: safety and inspection
-
There must be an intro first (focus on indoor drones, or safety/maintenance indoor environment - small intro on what’s usable today - cameras, CCTV, detectors, security guard monitoring every hour - or NOT going every hour - what’s the status today?)
Once we cover what’s the status today/needs/trends, which should be the first third of the article, we can say: here’s why you should use indoor drones for safety inspection.
Then, focus on the benefits - those are our 5 subheadings.
-
Speed - Of course a robot is much faster than a human - large spaces - these are not 100 sq meter offices - these are warehouses, data centers that the speed of patrolling this specific area would be faster/more efficient than a human.
-
Useful data - the drone collects data and compares it to the last patrol - sees something not in the last patrol, he alerts - he collects data. No more monotonous tasks for humans. For one IR client (Nestle, but don’t mention name) the drones inspect the safety of the shelves. They’re installed correctly - nothing is falling - this is safety! (Not checking bombs for the police - we don’t do that).
-
Cost savings - it’s much cheaper to install 2 tiles (docking stations) and 1 Tando running between the two. Collect data/patrol instead of 3 cameras, a smoke alarm, etc. etc. Cost: the pricing of having a good security system in your office/warehouse/data center which doesn’t cause false alarms is having a few cameras, and also sensors, and also people (we cannot list costs).

Below is an example of the minimum brief we need to begin a project. It’s minimal yet acceptable, although please draw your attention to the deliverable it produced, vs. the deliverable the comprehensive brief produced.
