Our company has been manufacturing high quality artisanal pasta since 1924. Our products are distributed in Italy's foremost gourmet food shops, and we export 90% of our total production to around 60 countries worldwide. Our largest market currently is the United States, where we're present in the most specialized high-end natural and organic food chains.
For the past five years, we've been researching and developing functional foods; pasta which in addition to providing a nutritional intake, also features natural curative elements. For example, pasta can have a higher dose of fiber by adding a larger quantity of bran to its ingredients.
The Project we're creating will feature a range of pasta targeting the functional foods market, both in Italy and abroad, and is especially geared towards the U.S. market.
In recent years, products have appeared on the market such as DANACOL, APTIMEL, milk-based probiotics, and gluten-free foods for people affected by gluten intolerance; our line of pasta thus has curative and preventative properties, such as, for instance, reducing blood cholesterol, providing an intake of omega 3 fatty acids, or as part of a protein based diet.
The price positioning is quite high in relation to the quality of the raw materials and research and development costs. The product will be promoted through sales agents, partners and specialized distributors, and scientific observers.

在这一步中，您将看到要求您提供解决方案的品牌 Builder 相关信息。他会自我介绍 (当然是作为品牌 :) 您对品牌的了解越深入，您的作品被接受的可能性越大。
重要事项：可能出于保密原因，品牌 Builder 不愿透露自己的身份。此类 Brief 将以匿名方式发布。这种情况下，品牌 Builder 想介绍多少，就介绍多少。
这里有两个例子
如果愿意透露其身份（可见）：
“NMN -No More Nicotine- 是一个承诺能抵消吸烟对皮肤造成的损害的品牌。NMN 通过药房销售，价格定位处于中高档；该品牌主要通过专业人士推荐，没有大量的广告宣传。”
如果品牌不希望透露其身份（匿名）：
“能抵消吸烟对皮肤造成的损害的品牌。其产品通过药房销售，价格定位处于中高档；他们主要通过专业人士推荐，没有大量的广告宣传。”
简而言之：谁是您的客户 (无论是可见还是“匿名” :)
We'd like to present 6 different types of pasta to the market, each with different specifications:
- Penne with Beta Glucans
- Hyperproteic penne
- Fusilli with omega3
- Low carb and high protein fusilli
- Probiotic rigatoni
- High fiber rigatoni
We're asking our Creators to create an “umbrella” brand that defines each type.
We'd like to receive an image of the products defined in a package of your choice (the winning proposal will then be adapted internally to the packaging formats).
It is essential that the proposed image/packaging fall outside the normal bounds of a "food product,” and should instead reflect the image of a health product for healing people, aimed at consumers who are into sports and fitness, and who are already attentive to natural foods and their daily diet.
这是什么？
这是品牌 Builder 要求您完成的任务。如果您不了解，那您就彻底没戏了。
例子
“我们想让 Creator 设计一个印刷品广告宣传来增加品牌知名度。将在今春投放到全国媒体杂志上。”
简而言之，这是客户的目标，因此也是您的目标！
As specified above in the project's description, our target is a public comprising men and women, aged between 18 and 50, who love sports, are mindful of the foods they eat and their physical appearance, and regularly exercise.
这是什么？
品牌 Builder 希望您让他们高兴，并说服他们想到、感觉到或使用您的创作做某些事的人。通常您会读到他们的年龄、性别、社会阶层和行为。您在创作过程始终应把这些信息牢记在心，因为目标受众才是最终接受您作品的人。
例子
“想要戒烟但无法做到的女子。通常是关注自己外表、注意健康的成年人。他们对于自己吸烟感到愧疚，因为他们知道吸烟有害。他们阅读相关书籍。这对他们来说是一个真正的问题，就像：“我的脑袋要某样东西，但我的身体却不听使唤”。他们和我的品牌无关，他们只是在等待值得信赖的“援助之手。”
简而言之：把握他们的想法！
We want to offer a product with natural ingredients, which is healthy for everyone, and can help your body prevent and cure various current health conditions (cholesterol, diabetes, gluten allergies ..)
这是什么？
品牌 Builder 想要目标受众从您的创作中，思考 / 感觉 / 有所行动的东西。
以下是一些具体示例：
∞ 人们会想到 / 感觉到的一些事：
- 出现了一个新的品牌（或产品或创意或...）
- 这个品牌比其它的或以前的更好
- 这个品牌值得多花点钱
∞ 人们会做的一些事：
- 开始购买该品牌的产品
- 更经常购买该品牌的产品
- 在零售店里库存更多该品牌的产品
上面这些例子非常具体，而通常 Brief 提案是感性的。那样更好，因为可以带来灵感！
例子
“我们想要鼓励吸烟者使用 NMN，将对他们健康的影响降至最低，让他们继续尝试戒烟（尤其如果他们已经尝试过，但是未成功）。”
简而言之：进入他们的脑袋！
The owners of this promotional project have been involved in the production of quality organically manufactured pasta for over 80 years.
这是什么？
这是实现目标的关键；是支持提案，使其可信的内容。通常是理性的陈述。
例子
“您吸的每一根烟都对您的外表造成损害。最近的一项研究选取了多对一模一样的双胞胎，其中一个吸了一辈子烟，另一个则从未吸过烟。吸烟者的皮肤比不吸烟者的薄四分之一，有些差别甚至多达40%。NMN 含有能阻止皮肤变薄的抗氧化剂，抵消了尼古丁对皮肤的影响。”
简而言之：需要理由吗？就在这里！
- Innovative,
- Natural,
- Clean,
- Dietary,
- Curative
这是什么？
这是品牌的个性。对...是个性！
将品牌视为一个人，有自己的个性。了解“客户”的个性对于完成度身定制的工作来说至关重要。所以，请仔细阅读所列的形容词...
例子
“科学、值得信赖、注重结果，实现您目标的‘良师益友’。”
简而言之：将其想象成一个活生生的人物！
We foresee an initial product launch for summer 2011, with a small ad campaign comprising about ten pages in popular current trends magazines (FOR MAN,ELLE,). As of 2012, the product will also be promoted abroad, especially in countries with a higher awareness of natural foods, such as the United States, Scandinavian countries, Japan and Thailand.
Sales channels include small and large drug stores, gyms, sportswear retailers, on-line sales, foreign markets, natural foods stores, herbalist shops.
这是什么？
列出了目标受众将能够看见您创作成果的地方（或媒介或事物）。这一步中，有时品牌还会告知您该制作的预计投资金额。此信息有助于您决定项目的规模大小。 :)
例子
“此广告活动将于 2009 年春季投放于侧重于生活方式和健康的新西兰妇女杂志上。我们计划投资 500000 美元，可以购买大约 100 张单页。”
简而言之：考虑媒介！
This project currently has no competitors in Italy or anywhere else in the world who can offer such a broad range of functional pasta as ours. A large market exists with many products for the GLUTEN FREE sector, but there are no pasta products with characteristics that can match ours. Large-scale distribution offers gluten free products and some pasta products with added fiber or pasta that is considered healthy, such as pasta with spelt and Kamut, which effectively have nothing functional in addition to normal pasta, other than small quantities of selenium or magnesium. Our product line must specifically differentiate itself from the products already on the market today, both in terms of image and packaging.
At a stylistic level, the only indication we want to impart to you is to try to communicate that these products are primarily aimed at people's health and wellbeing, in addition to providing a natural food source.
The proposed brand will initially be linked to the line of pasta products, and can subsequently incorporate other functional products such as biscuits and cookies, juices, ready made meals, frozen and fresh foods, all of which bear functional properties.
For the moment, the company has registered the brand name "PASTA YOUNG": you are free to make use of this name or propose an alternative.
如果品牌有任何的偏好选择或解决方案必须达到的技术要求，会在这里提供说明。
这部分可能包括：
∞ 指导方针或必须包含的事项（注意事项）
∞ 商业目标
∞ 市场和竞争者概述
∞ 正面和反面样本
取决于 Brief 的不同，您可能会发现一些随附的文件，比如徽标、产品图片，您提交创意时使用的模板，或任何品牌想要与您分享的其他文件。所以，开始创作前先研究一下随附文件。
简而言之：所有需要您知道的其他事项（之前七步中没写的）！
