How do I use briefs and the audience/angle framework?

Use briefs in Yoho to guide creative work and align contributors around target audiences, messaging angles, and campaign goals.

Updated over 3 months ago

Creative clarity starts with a great brief. In Yoho, you can include clear direction on what the asset is for, who it’s targeting, and how it should perform, all while linking it to your team’s audience and messaging frameworks.


Step 1: Add a brief when creating an assignment

When you create a new Assignment, the Details and Additions steps are where you define the creative brief.

Use these sections to:

  • Outline the campaign context

  • Add a description of the task

  • Link or reference any relevant idea

  • Share usage notes or platform guidelines

Contributors will see the brief directly on their assignment screen so they know exactly what’s expected.


Step 2: Use the audience and angle framework

Head to Settings → Creative Central, then navigate to:

  • Audiences (ICPs) - define your key customer types

  • Angles - map the hooks or messages that resonate with those audiences

Once set up, these appear as structured fields when assigning tasks or reviewing content, helping your team:

  • Match creatives to strategic personas

  • Test different messaging angles

  • Stay consistent across platforms and teams


Step 3: Connect the brief to campaign goals

You can link assignments and ideas to a calendar event, so every task aligns with a campaign objective, like product launches or seasonal promos.

This context ensures contributors are never working in a vacuum and helps reviewers evaluate whether the creative delivers on intent.


Tip: Standardize your briefs

To save time, create templates for repeatable briefs using Brand Details, Audiences, and Angles under Creative Center. This keeps your team efficient and your messaging aligned.
