Hiring a subcontractor should  free up
your time 🤔

But here’s the thing:
delegation only works when your brief does.

We designed every field of this template to increase the odds of a solid first draft.
This plug-and-play Subcontractor Brief Template gives you a structured, fill-in-the-blanks format.

What you’ll find inside:

Bullet list icon

Client snapshot: Your subcontractor gets context fast.

Bullet list icon

Project overview: Why this project now? Why does it matter? Where does it fit in the broader strategy? This section gets everyone rowing in the same direction.

Bullet list icon

Clear, specific goals: No vague "make it good" directives. Clarify what success looks like — before the first word is written.

Bullet list icon

Formatting & tone guidelines: Break down voice, tone, structure, and even visual direction — so the end product aligns with the client’s brand AND your brand.

Bullet list icon

Samples + style guide: Point to real examples of what you want (and what you don’t). Whether it’s past deliverables or preferred formats, link it all here.

Bullet list icon

Timeline + deadlines: “Next week” is not a delivery date. Plug in clear due dates for outlines, drafts, revisions, and finals — so no one's left guessing.

Bullet list icon

Evaluation: Share any KPIs or link to a scorecard to let your subcontractor know how the work will be assessed. This cuts down on edits — and builds mutual trust.
