Build an approval brief for International Epilepsy Day
For the proposed “First Aid for Seizures” idea, define the audience question before making the artwork. The calendar suggests carousel content for instagram, facebook, whatsapp. Write the message, the intended next action and the person responsible for checking medical statements into the brief. Review the final caption and visual together, including any terminology that may need explanation for a general audience. A campaign idea is a starting point for planning, not evidence that a particular format will perform better for your practice.
If you also use “Neurologist Explains Epilepsy”, decide whether it serves the same question or a different stage of understanding. Connect the pieces with consistent terminology and an appropriate destination for fuller information. Confirm the observance date and any annual theme with its current official organiser before publication; the stored calendar is a planning reference and should not be treated as a substitute for that check. Keep the source URL, approved text, creative version and publication date with the campaign record. This gives your team a clear reference when the content is adapted, translated or reused.
