# Trailer Script: The Better Brief
Concept
A 60-second promise that every episode turns one vague creative request into a sharper brief.
Script
0:00-0:04 - Music in, crisp and curious.
HOST: Ever opened a project brief and thought, wait, what are we actually making?
0:04-0:18
HOST: I'm Maya Chen. On The Better Brief, I sit down with strategists, designers, researchers, and clients to unpack the tiny decisions that make creative work clearer before anyone opens Figma.
0:18-0:37 - Quick guest clip montage.
GUEST CLIP: The problem was not the campaign. It was the question we were asking.
HOST: Each week, we rewrite a real brief, pressure-test the assumptions, and leave you with language you can use in your next kickoff.
0:37-0:55
HOST: If you lead projects, sell ideas, or just want fewer meetings that start with confusion, follow The Better Brief wherever you listen.
0:55-1:00 - Music button.
HOST: First episodes drop March 4.
