Q. What is InsightBrief?
InsightBrief is a media company serving time-poor people with focused, high-quality, short-format content, expertly produced and designed.
Q. What does ‘short-format’ content mean?
Our term for content that can be consumed in less than 10 minutes and is easily accessible on any device. Examples include Executive Briefs, Impact Briefs, video and infographics.
Q. What is an Executive Brief?
An Executive Brief is one of our short-formats – a distillation of the key points (aka insights) gleaned from one source material – typically a webinar, research report or white paper. (Example)
Q. What is an Impact Brief?
An Impact Brief distils a large body of knowledge from multiple sources, addressing a specific business-related technology theme. Designed to educate and inform time-poor people, typically a Brief explores benefits, opportunities, challenges and risks. (Example)
Q. Who is the audience for an Executive Brief?
The audience is usually the same as the source material was developed for. For example, if the webinar/white paper is for CxO’s in healthcare companies with responsibility for revenue, then the Executive Brief will reflect the same.
Q. Who is the audience for an Impact Brief?
The audience for an Impact Brief can be decided at the outset. We usually start with mapping your target audience through our network and social listening tools and suggest the themes, type of content and messaging that will motivate them.
Q. Is an Executive Brief or an Impact Brief more relevant for a brand?
This depends.
Typically the brand either owns existing white papers/webinars/research reports and wishes to ‘sweat these assets’ to engage more of the intended audience, in which case the Executive Brief is relevant, OR, they do not have appropriate existing content assets and need to create these, in which case our Impact Brief is relevant.
