How many times have you heard 'we took it in a different direction'?

Never — they actually read the brief
Once or twice — creative differences happen
Often — it's becoming a theme
Every time — I write briefs for fun apparently

Dear Peacock

1 / 3

"Dear Peacock, my agency scheduled a 'quick alignment call' that turned into a 3-hour vision boarding session. I missed my daughter's school play. My wife is furious. The project still isn't aligned. Please help."

— Desperate in Dalston

Peacock

Peacock says:

"Three hours? That's barely enough time to explore the brand's emotional landscape. True alignment requires sacrifice. Your daughter will have other plays. The moodboard, however, is forever."

Ideal Insight

Ideal Insight says:

Or just... don't. Clear scope. Defined timelines. No 3-hour hostage situations.

"Dear Peacock, my agency sent 7 people to a 30-second video review. The creative director wants it 'more energetic.' The executive producer wants it 'calmer.' Someone called the Head of Vibes asked us to 'lean into the tension.' What tension?! It's a product video."

— Confused in Clerkenwell

Peacock

Peacock says:

"Seven people? That's a skeleton crew. True creative excellence requires at least a dozen perspectives. And the tension? That's the friction of brilliance. Embrace it."

Ideal Insight

Ideal Insight says:

One point of contact. Clear feedback. No Head of Vibes.

"Dear Peacock, my agency just sent over the final cut. It's called 'Brand_Video_v47_FINAL_FINAL_APPROVED_v2_THISONE.mp4'. I don't even know what brief we're on anymore. I've aged 10 years in 6 weeks. Is this normal?"

— Exhausted in Ealing

Peacock

Peacock says:

"Version 47 shows commitment to the craft. 'FINAL_FINAL' is simply the industry standard for excellence. If you haven't aged at least 5 years per project, were you even invested?"

Ideal Insight

Ideal Insight says:

We deliver files with sensible names, on the version we agreed. Because nailing the brief first time isn't radical — it's the job.
