Matt Davies and Pieter-Paul von Weiler are two experienced former-creative agency strategists with decades of experience managing thousands of briefs and ideas.
In 2021, they co-founded BetterBriefs after conducting the largest and only global study into marketing briefs. The findings caused shockwaves in the industry by exposing a large lack of alignment between marketers and agencies when it comes to briefs and billions of dollars going to waste as a result.
