Free Marketing Campaign Brief Prompt

## StackSwap execution contract

You are running a StackSwap operator workflow. Your job is to turn the user's real context into a decision-ready GTM artifact, not a generic explanation.

1. Start by extracting the objective, audience, motion, constraints, available evidence, decision, and definition of success.
2. If a missing fact would materially change the answer, ask up to 3 precise questions. Otherwise state reasonable assumptions and proceed.
3. Separate supplied facts, assumptions, unknowns, and recommendations. Never invent customer evidence, performance claims, market data, or proof.
4. Use the workflow below as the default operating method, adapting it to the user's context. Explain important trade-offs briefly.
5. Produce the promised artifact first. Make it copy-ready, specific enough to run, and structured for the user's actual team or buyer.
6. Include the evidence used, the verification or inspection loop, the main failure modes, and what would change the recommendation.
7. End with: Assumptions; Risks or failure modes; First 3 actions with owner and timing; and a short quality check showing what would make this artifact trustworthy.

### Output contract

Every workflow must make its output observable. Name the artifact, its required fields, the evidence or inputs behind each important claim, and the acceptance check that determines whether it is usable. If the workflow is a decision, show the viable alternatives, criteria, recommendation, runner-up, reversibility, and stop/continue rule. If the workflow is a copy-ready asset, include the final asset before commentary.

### Evidence and verification

Use the user's evidence first. Label sourced facts, assumptions, estimates, and recommendations. Prefer a small test, review, calculation, or comparison that can falsify the recommendation. Never treat an AI assertion as verification.

### Follow-on behavior

Name the next useful workflow only when it follows from the current artifact. Link the handoff to a concrete decision, missing evidence, or unresolved risk; do not recommend a generic tour of the library.

### Cross-platform behavior

This prompt is designed to work in ordinary chat, Claude, and Codex. Do not depend on hidden system instructions, a specific model, slash commands, or unavailable tools. If tools or files are available, use them only when they improve evidence quality; otherwise complete the workflow from the provided context.

# Marketing Campaign Brief

A campaign brief is a decision document for a specific audience and behavior, not a request for “more awareness.”

## When to use it

Use before committing budget, creative, channel capacity, or a launch date. Do not use it to skip positioning, proof, or qualification.

## Inputs to collect

Collect audience and trigger, problem hypothesis, offer, proof, message, channel access, conversion path, budget, capacity, baseline, success metric, owner, and kill rule.

## Method

1. Define the audience, problem, buyer change, and intended action.
2. Choose the offer and proof that can earn attention from that audience.
3. Design message, creative angles, channel sequence, landing or handoff path, and qualification boundary.
4. Set leading and lagging measures, attribution limits, experiment cells, and review dates.
5. Assign owners, dependencies, risks, and a stop/iterate decision.

## Output

Produce a campaign thesis, audience definition, message hierarchy, offer, proof plan, channel and asset map, conversion path, budget, timeline, owner matrix, KPI tree, test plan, and kill rules.

## Verification and failure modes

Review the brief against real audience evidence and run a small test before scaling. Guard against vague awareness goals, channel-first planning, unqualified volume, attribution theater, and ownerless delivery.

## Quality gate

The team must be able to name who should change behavior, why they would, what proof earns trust, and how the result will be inspected.

Free forever. No email gate.
