Simple Brief - collaborative flatplan

Plan and annotate the layout of your content until final approval using the flatplan

Bring your teams together

Simple Brief is a collaborative application integrated into Simple Workspace designed to streamline your publishing production. Simple Brief is the ideal solution for getting procurement, marketing and the creative studio to work together to give life to content on your communication media.
Prepare

Add Simple Brief to an operation and define which users or groups of users are entitled to work on the publication.

The document format and its number of pages can be set, inherited from a template publication, or simply copied from a previous operation.

Lay out content
The publication pages can be assigned to different users so they can define the location and size allocated to products and articles on each page. The level of automation is for you to decide according to the creativity you require. Of course, the designers can, at any time, fine-tune the pages using their desktop version of Adobe InDesign.
Workflow

Define the workflow that best suits your organization: each page can go through the stages of a more or less complex workflow to be approved by different user roles.

The workflow milestones are linked to the Dashboard to help track the production process of the operation.

Simple Brief benefits

Fast user adoption

Easy to use, Simple Brief adoption is very fast thanks to a streamlined user interface designed for intuitive handling by users.

Users, e.g. product managers, editorial staff, simply drag and drop products and articles to define their location and size on pages.

Save time to publish

Simple Brief shortens your publishing production cycle and makes it easy to reuse content to:

Reuse an existing publication to create a new edition or language version; Automate the generation of offers for other channels (mobile devices, website…).

Open
Simple Brief manages all types of production workflows: whether they are created with linked databases or by a graphic studio, pages are centralized in one place to be sent into proofreading workflows, open to author corrections and translation workflows if required.
