Facebook "Big Boss"

"Kyle Doyle, 21, is currently facing an internal investigation after he called in sick for work then updated his Facebook status bar to read: 'Kyle Doyle is not going to work ... I'm still trashed. SICKIE WOO!'. Unfortunately for Doyle his boss was also a friend on Facebook and saw the incriminating status report."

A Brief ... should be brief

A brief can sometimes be a mind dump from the account group.
The things the client wants to highlight.
The things the client doesn’t want highlighted, but wants mentioned.
The new direction the advertising must take.
The nod in the direction of the old advertising.
Pretty soon, you’ve got so much information your head is swimming.
The job looks insurmountable, your energy is sapping away.

(...)

Remember a brief is supposed to be just that.

Brief.
