Free · Online Brief Builder

You know you need a video. Briefing it is the hard part.

The brief builder walks you through the same questions we'd ask on a kick-off call: what it's for, who it's for, and the one thing it has to land. Answer what you can; we can work from as little as a list of key points.

  • Saves as you type, so you can stop halfway and come back whenever
  • Twenty-five questions, and only five that really matter
  • Ends with a document any production company could work from
  • Free, no card, and no password to remember

Both of our businesses have used Fifty Squid to produce corporate videos and we could not be happier. The process is quick, simple (and extremely good value for money) and the results were stunning. We could not be happier and look forward to using them again in the very near future.
