Q:
What’s the difference between a brief and a deck? Do these usually have all the information I need to do an estimate?
A:
Before estimating a project, you should receive a PDF showing the stylized layout and mood board information called the ‘Creative Brief’ or ‘Creative Deck’ (same thing). The brief/deck will include the logistical production details unless supplied on a separate bid spec sheet. The creative element and the production details allow you to provide an accurate competitive estimate.
