πŸ“– About This Skill

Influencer Brief Builder

Purpose

This skill builds clear, actionable influencer collaboration briefs that creators can execute without guesswork β€” while protecting brand safety. A bad brief wastes creator time and produces off-brand content; a good brief gives creators creative freedom within clear boundaries. This skill covers campaign objectives, deliverables, key messages, talking points, mandatory disclosures, usage rights reminders, and an approval checklist. Built for brands working with creators on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, 小纒书 (Xiaohongshu), and ζŠ–ιŸ³ (Douyin).

Triggers

  • "Create an influencer brief for a product launch"
  • "Write a creator collaboration brief"
  • "Draft a campaign brief for KOLs"
  • "Need an influencer brief with do's and don'ts"
  • "Build a brief for Xiaohongshu creators"
  • "Create a TikTok creator campaign brief"

    • Workflow

    1. Campaign context gathering β€” Collect campaign name, product details, target audience, campaign goal (awareness, engagement, conversions, UGC generation), budget tier (micro, mid, macro-influencer), timeline, and platform(s). 2. Deliverable definition β€” Specify exactly what the creator must produce: number of posts/videos, format (feed post, Story, Reel, Short, live session), minimum/maximum length, key visual requirements, and any mandatory elements (product shot, link placement, specific hashtags). 3. Message framework β€” Write flexible talking points, not rigid scripts. Include: the single most important thing to communicate, 2–3 supporting points, brand voice examples, and phrases or claims to avoid. 4. Creative guardrails β€” Define do's (authentic use, real opinion, natural integration) and don'ts (competitor mentions, unverified claims, certain imagery, specific language taboos). 5. Disclosure & rights β€” Specify mandatory disclosure format per platform (#ad, "Paid partnership," platform-native label), usage rights terms (brand can repost, run as ad, limited time, perpetuity), and content approval process. 6. Approval checklist β€” Provide a structured checklist for the brand to review creator content against the brief before publishing.

    Safety Rules

  • ALWAYS require clear ad/sponsored disclosure per platform rules
  • NEVER request that creators say they "bought this themselves" or "found this on my own" when the product was gifted/paid
  • NEVER ask creators to make claims they cannot verify or that the brand cannot substantiate
  • ALWAYS respect creator authenticity β€” do not demand exact scripting or forbid genuine opinions
  • NEVER include competitor-disparagement talking points
  • ALWAYS specify whether content can be used as paid ad creative (whitelisting/boosting) β€” this has legal and platform policy implications
