Endless intelligence.
Not another newsletter — The Brief+ is your personal intelligence platform. Every week, we scan the world for signals, trends, opportunities, and smarter plays across Brand, Marketing, Design, Entrepreneurship, Culture, and Creative Business.
Stay ahead, catch up fast, and gain an edge in a world that moves faster than ever.
Meet the tequila shot of business intelligence.
Fast, distilled. Hits hard. Unlike some consultants, we don’t bill by the slide — we get to the point, then get out of your way.
No 80-page Power Points with pictures of men in suits shaking hands on top of the summit. Just sharp insights, straight up.
Created for the Davids taking on the Goliaths.
You don’t win with size. You win with smarts. The Brief+ arms ambitious leaders of challenger brands, agencies, and creative businesses with distilled signals, trends, and strategies — intelligence that lets you outsmart the giants.
Smart. Fast. Contrarian.
Un-boring, like you.
Most business journals are Ambien in print. Our Briefs? More like an espresso shot with attitude — sharp, fast, and impossible to ignore. Think conversation with a smart, funny friend, not a consultant billing by the buzzword.
Filtered, not flooded.
We bring you more than 25+ new articles per week across Brand, Marketing, Design, Entrepreneurship, Culture, Tech&AI, and the Agency Business. That's more than 1000+ signals, trends, opportunities, and plays per year. Delivered your way: daily Briefs for quick hits, weekly Briefings for deeper dives, and an ever-growing archive.
The Intelligence Stack™
Our secret sauce. AI scans millions of data points and drags the needles out of the haystacks. Then humans — the kind with scars, not job titles — synthesize, filter, curate, and do some writing. Every signal runs through our six-step filter to separate the sharp from the stupid.
:
Signal →
What is happening?
(Fact, not fluff.)
Relevance →
Why does it matter?
(If it doesn’t, it dies here.)
Insight →
What does it really mean?
(The “aha” moment.)
Shift →
What’s changing?
(Trend, trajectory, threat, or tailwind.)
Opportunity →
Where’s the upside?
(Where you win.)
Plays →
What should you do now?
(Because ideas without actions are TED Talks.)
7 Pillars Of Clarity
(without the brain damage).
We don’t dump 1,000 links on your desk and call it “curated.” We distill everything into seven buckets — so you know exactly where to look when you need an edge:
Intel & Insights
Market shifts, competitor moves, benchmarks.
Trends & Signals
Cultural and technological shifts as they emerge.
Strategies & Playbooks
Frameworks, growth models, and step-by-step guidance.
Operations & Tools
Smarter processes, sharper tools, stronger margins.
People & Relationships
Clients, customers, teams, and partnerships.
Growth & Leadership
Vision, culture, mindset, and sustainable growth.
Everything is tagged, so you can filter by category and go directly to what you need.
