We couldn't agree more with Jennifer Murtell. We work with many in-house creative teams to customize our JobSuite software, and part of that process is helping them set up their own creative brief templates in the system. They carefully and thoughtfully formulate their creative brief criteria for each type of project managed within their department. So instead of downloading a one-size-fits-all creative brief template, they can select from a variety of their own customized creative brief templates to be used within the JobSuite application.
This is actually analogous to JobSuite itself, as it is not a one-size-fits-all project management system. One of the best things about using JobSuite is that it's customized to fit your workflow. JobSuite is already designed for creative teams, but with additional customization you get to build what you want, how you want and make it work for you.
And, work from anywhere because JobSuite is an all-digital, cloud-based application.
