What the product does, what it costs, where your data lives, and what belongs in a creative brief.
BriefMaster 3000 is a creative brief management tool for agencies and marketing teams. It replaces scattered Word documents, email threads and chat messages with one structured workspace where teams and their clients write, review and approve briefs together.
Advertising agencies, in-house marketing teams, design studios, freelancers and their clients. It is built for anyone who has to turn a business problem into a creative task and keep everyone aligned while doing it.
A template gives you structure once. BriefMaster 3000 keeps the structure alive: one living document instead of versioned files, role-based visibility so clients and internal teams read the same brief differently, comments attached to the brief, automatic completion tracking, and a timestamped record of who changed what.
No. The built-in templates reflect common agency practice, and custom templates let you rebuild your own briefing format field by field. Most teams start with one template and migrate the rest gradually.
The interface is available in English, German, French and Italian. Each user picks their own language, so a Swiss team can work in German while their French-speaking client reads the same brief in French.
Yes. BriefMaster 3000 integrates with Asana, so an approved brief can be pushed straight into execution, and with Outlook calendar for kickoff meetings. More integrations are in development.
Yes. The Free plan includes one creator seat, three active briefs and unlimited viewers, with no time limit and no credit card required. Paid plans start at CHF 9 per seat per month.
No. Viewers and guests are unlimited and free on every plan, including Free. You only pay for creator seats — the people who write and edit briefs.
Your workspace reverts to the Free plan at the end of the paid period. Briefs beyond the free limit become read-only rather than being deleted, so you keep access to everything you created. You can export any brief to PDF at any time.
Yes. Yearly billing saves roughly 17% compared to monthly. Plan changes are prorated and take effect immediately.
Yes. Enterprise covers SSO and SCIM provisioning, audit logs, a service level agreement, API access, a signed data processing agreement and dedicated onboarding. Contact hello@kreisvier.ch for pricing.

Brief content is stored in the EU (Frankfurt, Germany), all traffic is encrypted with TLS, a data processing agreement is available for paid plans, and our sub-processors are published publicly.
Brief content and account data are stored in MongoDB Atlas in Frankfurt, Germany. The application runs on Render in Frankfurt. Product analytics run on PostHog's EU instance. Your brief content does not leave the EU.
Yes. BriefMaster 3000 is designed, built and operated by kreisvier lab, the digital product unit of kreisvier communications AG in Basel, Switzerland. It carries the Swiss Made Software label.
No. Your brief content is never used to train AI models, and it is never sold or shared with advertisers or data brokers. It is processed only to provide the service to you.
Only people in your workspace, according to their role, plus anyone you explicitly invite or share a link with. Briefs are scoped to a workspace at the database level — there is no cross-workspace read path. Fields marked internal are filtered server-side before they reach a client or guest.
Yes. A DPA covering GDPR Article 28 obligations, our sub-processor list and Standard Contractual Clauses is available for all paid plans. Request one at privacy@briefmaster3000.com.
Workspace owners can delete a workspace from settings, which removes all briefs and member data. Individual users can request deletion at privacy@briefmaster3000.com. Deletion completes within 30 days, including backups.
At minimum: the business objective stated as an outcome, one clearly defined target audience, a single-minded proposition, the deliverables with format, quantity, language and date, the mandatories, the budget, the deadline, and what is explicitly out of scope. Anything beyond that should earn its place.
One to two pages. Length is not thoroughness — a long brief usually means the prioritisation work has not been done yet. If a competent person who was not in the room could produce a reasonable first attempt from the brief alone, it is long enough.
The client owns the problem, so the client should own the objective. The agency owns the craft, so the agency should challenge and sharpen the brief before accepting it. In practice the strongest briefs are written jointly, then played back by the agency in a rebrief to confirm shared understanding.
The brief is the task as the client states it. The rebrief is the agency playing that task back in their own words, including the assumptions they are making where the brief was silent. It is the cheapest quality gate in the creative process — one meeting, before any concept work starts.
Write the deliverables with five attributes each — format, quantity, language, channel, date — list what is out of scope, and require a change request for additions. The goal is not to refuse changes but to make them visible and priced.
