Start with the job
Good brand memes need shared context. Start with something your audience has actually said or done. If you need a paragraph to explain why the joke relates to your product, the concept is probably too broad.
A practical example
For a project planner: “Me: a quick update / The update: six new dependencies.” The joke works on its own. A caption can explain how you separate new work from the original plan without turning the image into a sales brochure.
Build your brief
- Situation. Name a frustration your audience recognises.
- Contrast. Create one expectation and one reversal.
- Restraint. Keep the product mention in the caption when the joke needs room.
Review before publishing
Use your own artwork or a template you have permission to reuse. Check whether the image targets a person unfairly or relies on context your audience will not share.
Keep the brief beside the finished creative. You should be able to point to the fact, image or product behaviour behind each statement. Save the approved version with its caption so later edits do not undo the review.
