Problem: Article: One of the hardest aspects of being confident at work is feeling like you're not measuring up. Observe co-workers at your level, and take note of what they're doing. Ask yourself if you're putting similar care and effort into your own tasks. If you are, reassure yourself that you're doing what you need to do to contribute to the success of your organization. If you fear that you are not putting in enough effort, select a role model or mentor among your colleagues, and model your work performance after theirs. Ask them for advice, if they are open to it. Most supervisors don't give praise freely. If they're giving you accolades for your work, don't doubt that they feel you deserve it. Be sure not to diminish what you've accomplished by giving credit to someone else or saying that the task "wasn't that difficult." Writing down the things at which you excel will remind you why you were offered your job in the first place. This will also help you remember what you have to offer your colleagues. Being armed with this knowledge will make it easier for you to interact with them as co-contributors to the mission of your company.] Make a point of celebrating your successes. It doesn't have to be anything elaborate. You could treat yourself to a drink with friends or a nice dessert after work, or just mark the occasion with a positive note in your journal or calendar. It's just as important to be humble about how you can improve as it is to recognize your capabilities. If you're aware of the tasks and skills that you find challenging, you can address them with a sense of calm preparedness. If your co-workers see that you're self-aware about your faults, they'll be more likely to share constructive feedback with you -- and to elicit it so they can improve themselves as well! Talk to your coworkers about the goals you are setting for yourself. You might even ask them for feedback about your progress. Over the course of your career, it's almost inevitable that you'll make a mistake or have a bad day. Rather than dwelling on these mistakes, add them to your list of future spots for improvement, and view them as learning opportunities.
Summary: Look around at others' work habits. Believe the compliments you receive. Make a list of your strengths and successes. Make a different list of your weaknesses. Learn from your mistakes.

Problem: Article: In other words, you need restate why you have decided to embark on a new marketing campaign. This is the big picture of the market, your company, and your marketing plan. This helps introduced your creative team to the project and gives them context in which to consider their options. Include information like market opportunities or shifts among customer interests that you are trying to target. You should have already decided on a strategy for achieving these objectives, so outline your strategy in detail. Focus on which objectives are your top priorities, so the creative department will know what is most important. Essentially, this will outline the intended effect your advertising will have consumers. Ensure that your objectives are clear and measurable. Your outline should provide specifics about how you will evaluate the progress of your campaign. You might do this by measuring an increase or decrease in sales, store traffic, RPFs, and so on. Specify any information you've decided on in your audience analysis. Write out as much information as possible about your target demographic. This includes personal information (gender, age, etc.) as well as lifestyle information like their buying habits and hobbies. Again, the better picture your creative team has of your target consumer, the better they'll be able to target it. The composition of the audience relies entirely on the message and the product. Once you have established the audience, try to think like a person in that group. This can be expressed in a single sentence, sometimes called a single-minded proposition, because it establishes a single idea from a specific angle. Keep in mind that this isn't simply a description of your product or service you are selling, but a description of what exactly you are promising the consumer in your advertisement. This can also be a good place to include a description of an important visual or persuasive statement that you want included in your ads. Include the motivation you want to create with this message. What benefits, mental and physical, will your audience receive by looking at your ad? The message or single-minded proposition is the concept on which you should spend the most time. It should be very clear. Try to avoid the use of "and," "but" and semi-colons, because trying to communicate too much in a long sentence will confuse the message. This means giving your audience the proof necessary to support the message. For your creative team to integrate this support, they'll need as much specific information as possible. You should include every conceivable detail about the product or service being advertised that backs up the claim you are trying to make. This can include both factual and emotional appeals to the consumer and should be listed in order of most to least important (and labeled as such). Include attachments of existing marketing materials that should be used in the initiative. Establish which medium is best for reaching your target audience and why. In addition, you'll want to spell out your target size or duration for your advertisement, depending on the medium. If you can afford to be flexible and want the marketing team's input on this aspect of your strategy, list several mediums and ask for team feedback. Anything you provide your marketing team with can be helpful in creating your advertisements. These can be any additional facts that support your goals, any points to avoid or downplay, or any mandatory inclusions (slogans, logos, sponsors, etc.). If something is crucial to your advertisement, make sure that your brief says that it is.
Summary: Give a background for your brief. Outline your objectives as they relate to this specific initiative. Establish your primary audience. Write the message you want your audience to receive. Decide how you will substantiate the message. Decide what medium will be used to communicate the message. Include any additional helpful information.
