The reality
Briefs arrive by email, WhatsApp and forms.
Assets, links and KPIs end up scattered across three threads and a pile of attachments.
No standard brief structure
Retainers live in a spreadsheet nobody updates.
Teams over-deliver because nobody noticed the client used up their scope weeks ago.
Scope creep is invisible
Approvals get lost in reply-all threads.
"Looks good!" from one stakeholder collides with a revision request from their director two days later.
No record of who said yes
Invoices get built by hand at month end.
Rebuilding what was promised versus what ran eats the last two days of every month.
Slower cash flow
Brief intake
Briefs arrive complete
Branded intake forms ask the right questions for each type of work, so nothing gets lost in a thread.
Campaigns
Work moves on one board
Split each campaign into lines per platform, assign owners and track every task to done.
Approvals
Clients sign off in a portal
Every approval and revision request is recorded with who said it and when.
Retainers
Scope you can see
Know how much of each retainer is used before you over-deliver, not after.
Invoices
Billing without the rebuild
Invoices pull from the retainer and carry your own payment link. Clients pay you directly.
Access
Know who can access what
Roles for your team and clients, plus a register of account access that never stores passwords.

Principles
Your money stays yours
Invoices carry your own payment link (Stripe, PayPal or bank details). Clients pay you directly and we take no cut.
No passwords in our system
The Access Register records who on your team has access to which client accounts. We never store passwords or tokens.
Private by default
Individual hours, internal comments and margins are never shown to clients, and financials stay with the workspace owner.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial with every feature switched on. A card is required to start, and you can cancel before day 7 at no charge.
Do you handle my clients’ payments?
No. Invoices carry your own payment link, and clients pay you directly. brieftolive never touches the money.
Can clients see my internal costs?
Never. Clients see deliverables, brief status and invoices. Hours, rates, margins and internal comments stay private.
