For agencies
Creative brainstorming on demand, client-confidential
Creative brainstorming is an agency's inventory, and it is expensive to manufacture in conference rooms. Brainstormer generates concept walls on demand: pitch angles, names, campaign directions, each tagged with the persona that argued for it and narrowed to three, with client work kept private.
- Concept walls for pitches in hours, not off-sites
- Naming runs by mechanism: craft, coined, found
- The junior-brief problem: everyone diverges well now
- Client-confidential: private, untrained-on, deletable

Shortlist
Sample brainstorm shown. Your challenges stay private.
The pitch is Tuesday and the room is booked solid
Agency creativity has a throughput ceiling: concepts come from getting good brains in a room, and the room, the brains and the billable calendar rarely align the week the RFP lands. Brainstormer removes the scheduling from divergence. The brief goes in, and a wall of tagged concept directions comes out: the inversion, the borrowed world, the customer-confession, the craft flex. Creative directors curate instead of pulling from cold.
Naming, the agency staple, gets its own treatment: candidates generated by mechanism (craft words, coined and ownable, found language) with rationale attached, the flow shown in the naming scenario above. It is the idea generator pointed at brand language.
Concepts survive the internal review before the client sees them
The Skeptic pre-writes the client's objections on every run, and the shortlist gives you the two or three territories a deck is built on. The structure most agencies present, several territories with one recommended, is close to the tool's own output shape: ideas, shortlist, winner with reasons.
Juniors get sharper too: nobody has to learn a method or facilitate anything, so a junior's first pass already carries six points of view, and seniors spend their taste where it counts, on the pick. Our guide to brainstorming techniques is the training doc for the methods themselves.
Confidential enough for client work, priced for margins
Client challenges are private by default, never used to train models, and deletable on request, which is the sentence your MSA wants to hear. Team at $99 per month covers five seats with unlimited brainstorms for the account. One skipped concepting off-site pays for the year, several times over.
The same question is worth asking of whatever canvas you run the workshop on, because guest rules differ sharply: on Miro's free plan anyone you invite by email joins the team and gets your whole board list, and a proper guest role is a Business-tier feature. We compared the six tools on client access, facilitation depth and real per-seat cost in brainstorming software for agencies.

Questions
Is client work confidential?
Yes: private by default, never used for model training, deletable on request. Many agencies keep one workspace per client on the Team plan.
Can we use it live in a client workshop?
You can run it in front of the client, but there is no facilitator mode, no timer and no reveal step, so it is a browser tab you drive rather than a session runner. Most consultants generate beforehand and open the workshop with the shortlist already in hand.
