A business may hire a creator without saying what the content should do, then blame the creator when the campaign does not lead anywhere useful.

EXAMPLE

What this looks like in practice.

The article shell should stay readable, but it still needs to look like a coded part of the same public product.
EXAMPLE SCENARIO

Translate the question into an actual situation.

This matters because most bad campaigns are fixable before they start. Better input usually leads to better output.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Use the definition to change the next decision.
