Is a chaddi required?

Seriously how important is a brief in advertising. On one end people say think beyond the brief on the other the same demands one.What is the importance of a brief that's just a formality, that has no value addition from the brand servicing guy? When a creative guy works on a brand for say a year and a half, does he really require a brief? These insights are based on my experience in mid-size agencies as I have never worked in the top twenty.

I maybe wrong but then what if i am right.

Hi. Brief is really seriously important. But then it helps only if it's a brief in true sense. If it does not tell you all that it should, question it or rather question the person responsible for creating it.
Working on a creative without a brief (or a proper brief for that matter) is like being lost in the middle of an ocean without any idea where to go (and if the brief's misleading, then assme you can't even swim)!

Home very very away from office.

Shifted to my new place in Navi Mumbai. Sounds far right? But it isn’t. 1 hour 15 minutes to reach office. Manageable. Changing 3 trains to reach office. Not bad at all. Am I complaining? Can I afford to? No. Because I can’t afford to buy place in Mumbai. Not yet. How to buy a house in Mumbai? Invent something like google.com Do business. (But what business should I do?) Marry a rich girl (Too late to do so for me at least) Play the lottery (Tried. Not working) Build strong networking. Get rich people in your contact list and sell insurance to them or become a middleman and conduct business. (Difficult for someone like me.) The only choice I have is to work hard, work smart. Jump up the ladder. Do whatever it is to be successful in your profession. Current scenario. I am not doing that bad. But then I am not doing that good also. Philosophy: Sometimes wealth and fame don’t go hand in hand. You need to make a choice. (I think this has no connection to the above. But hey it’s my blog.) T
