Sample article brief

A sanitized example of how I turned audience, purpose and commercial intent into clear instructions for writers.

The original client name and private reference links are not displayed.

Target audience

People or businesses who already understood the basic category but needed help choosing the right option for a specific use case.

Writing purpose

Educate the reader on why the product category matters for the need, then present simplified recommendations that help them choose confidently. The commercial goal was affiliate conversion through useful decision support rather than overt promotion.

Structure

  • 100–150 word introduction
  • Structured comparison section covering a defined set of products
  • Each product section tailored to the specific topic rather than repeating generic features
  • Additional H2 sections relevant to the topic
  • Conclusion

Why this mattered

The brief gave writers enough structure to keep a multi-article series consistent while still requiring topic-specific research and judgment.
