To request your first creative project on Flocksy, you’ll need to fill out a project brief. Doing so ensures that the creatives who are added to your project will have the information and assets they need to deliver what you want. Here’s how to go through our project request process, as well as some pointers on what to include in your brief.
Step 1. Add Files to Your Brand Profile
Click on Account Files, then add a Name and Description under “Add a new profile to your account files.” If you manage multiple brands, choose one per bucket. Click “Add Profile.”
The profile will then show up on the list below. Click “Add/View Files,” then upload your logo file, branding guide, or anything else that the creatives might need to reference to complete your project.
Step 2. Write Your Project Brief
Draft a brief description of your project and think about anything that the creatives would need to know. For example, if you’re requesting a design project, be sure to specify the dimensions, format, and any brand assets you need to be included in the design. For copywriting projects, indicate the tone of voice, word count, audience, and other specifications.
Step 3. Create a New Project
Return to your Flocksy dashboard, then click “Create New Project.” Under “Select Project Title & Type,” choose a master category, then use the drop-down menu to choose a particular project type. If you aren’t sure how to categorize it, choose Other, and the team will review it to see if they can complete it or if they have any questions.
Click “Next”.
Step 4. Add Your Documents
Then, choose the profile that you created in Step 1 and click “Next”. The screen will then populate with fields asking you to lay out the details of your project. Draw upon your draft brief to answer the questions. They will vary by project type.
Note that it’s helpful to provide examples for the creatives. Choose other content that’s been created for you, add URLs to content on the web, or direct creatives to look at your brand bucket.
Step 5. Submit and Wait for Great Results!
Hit “Submit New Project,”. You will be notified once there is an update on your project (which will vary, based on what projects you already have being worked on). You can then log into your account to review the progress and leave feedback.
