Built across 4 distinct stages covering Sharpen Positioning and Messaging, Write Campaign Copy, Build Marketing Systems and more, this guide gives you one expert prompt per step so you never have to write from scratch or guess what the AI needs. The prompts work in ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini and are designed to get usable output on the first try.

Sharpen Positioning and Messaging

Positioning is the foundation everything else is built on. Before writing a single ad or email, these prompts help you get the core message right.

Write a positioning statement

My company sells [DESCRIBE PRODUCT/SERVICE]. Our target customer is [DESCRIBE]. Our top competitors are [LIST]. Our most important differentiator is [DESCRIBE]. Write a positioning statement in this format: "For [TARGET CUSTOMER] who [HAS THIS NEED], [PRODUCT] is the [CATEGORY] that [KEY BENEFIT] unlike [COMPETITOR ALTERNATIVE] which [KEY WEAKNESS]." Then help me evaluate: is this actually differentiated, or does it sound like something a competitor could also claim?

Sharpen Positioning and Messaging

Define the core value proposition

I need to articulate the core value proposition for [PRODUCT/SERVICE] in a single sentence. The functional benefit is: [DESCRIBE]. The emotional benefit is: [DESCRIBE]. The target customer is: [DESCRIBE]. Write five value proposition options, each framing the benefit differently. Then identify which one is most specific (not "we help you grow" but a specific outcome) and most believable (not a promise that sounds too good).

Sharpen Positioning and Messaging

Write messaging for three audience segments

I sell [PRODUCT/SERVICE]. My three main audience segments are: [SEGMENT 1], [SEGMENT 2], [SEGMENT 3]. Write the core marketing message (one to two sentences) for each segment. The message for each segment should emphasize a different benefit — the one that matters most to that specific audience — rather than using the same message for everyone.

Sharpen Positioning and Messaging

Identify and close messaging gaps

Here is our current marketing messaging: [PASTE OR DESCRIBE YOUR MAIN MESSAGES]. Here is what our best customers say about us when describing us to others: [PASTE CUSTOMER LANGUAGE FROM REVIEWS OR SURVEYS]. Identify the gaps between how we describe ourselves and how customers describe us. Where is our messaging missing the language that resonates most with buyers? Suggest specific changes.

Sharpen Positioning and Messaging

Write a tagline for the brand

My brand is [DESCRIBE — NAME, WHAT IT DOES, WHO IT SERVES, WHAT IT STANDS FOR]. My brand personality is [DESCRIBE TONE — SERIOUS/PLAYFUL, TECHNICAL/ACCESSIBLE, ETC.]. Write ten tagline options. They should be: memorable (short enough to say in under three seconds), specific enough to connect to what we do, and distinctive enough that they could not belong to a competitor. Evaluate the top three.

Sharpen Positioning and Messaging

Write Campaign Copy

Strategy without execution is just thinking. These prompts help you write the actual copy for campaigns across channels.

Write a campaign concept and brief

I want to run a marketing campaign for [PRODUCT/SERVICE/PROMOTION]. The goal is: [DESCRIBE GOAL — AWARENESS / LEADS / SALES / RETENTION]. My audience is [DESCRIBE]. My budget is approximately [DESCRIBE]. Write a campaign concept brief that includes: a campaign theme or central idea, the channels to use and why, the campaign message for each channel, and how I will measure success. Make the concept specific, not generic.

Write Campaign Copy

Write social media ad copy

I want to run paid social ads on [PLATFORM — FACEBOOK/INSTAGRAM/LINKEDIN/TIKTOK] for [PRODUCT/SERVICE]. Target audience: [DESCRIBE]. Main benefit to communicate: [DESCRIBE]. Write three ad variations: one that leads with the problem/pain, one that leads with the outcome/aspiration, and one that leads with social proof (using a placeholder like "[X CUSTOMERS]"). For each, write the headline, body copy, and CTA. Keep each under the character limits for [PLATFORM].

Write Campaign Copy

Write a landing page for a campaign

I am running a campaign driving traffic to a landing page for [OFFER]. My audience is [DESCRIBE]. The main benefit is [DESCRIBE]. The main objection they have is [DESCRIBE]. Write the landing page copy with these sections: headline (benefit-led, specific), subheadline (supporting claim), three to four benefit bullets, social proof section (with placeholders), objection-handling section, and a CTA. Keep it conversion-focused.

Write Campaign Copy

Write copy for a product launch

I am launching [PRODUCT/FEATURE] to [AUDIENCE]. Launch date is [DATE]. The key message is: [WHAT MAKES THIS WORTH LAUNCHING]. Write copy for: an announcement email (subject line + body), a social media announcement post, and a one-paragraph press announcement. All should lead with the benefit to the customer, not the features of the product.

Write Campaign Copy

Write a nurture email sequence for leads

Someone signed up for [LEAD MAGNET/FREE TRIAL/DEMO] but has not purchased. Write a five-email nurture sequence. Email 1: deliver the promised value and set context. Email 2: address the biggest objection to purchase. Email 3: share a relevant customer success story. Email 4: answer a FAQ about the product. Email 5: make a direct offer with a clear CTA. Keep each email under 200 words.

Write Campaign Copy

Build Marketing Systems

The most productive marketing teams run on systems, not heroics. These prompts help you build the infrastructure that makes marketing scalable.

Build a lead generation system

My business generates leads through [DESCRIBE CURRENT CHANNELS]. The conversion rate from lead to customer is [X%] and the main drop-off point is [DESCRIBE]. Help me design a more systematic lead generation approach. What should the full funnel look like from first touch to qualified lead? What content or offer should I use at each stage? What is the most important thing to fix first?

Build Marketing Systems

Design a referral marketing program

I want to build a referral program for [BUSINESS]. My best customers are [DESCRIBE]. The incentive structure I am considering is: [DESCRIBE]. Help me design the program: what incentive structure would best motivate referrals for my audience, what is the simplest way to implement it, how do I promote it to existing customers, and what metrics will tell me whether it is working?

Build Marketing Systems

Build a content marketing system

I want to use content marketing to generate leads for [BUSINESS]. My audience is [DESCRIBE]. I have [DESCRIBE TEAM AND BUDGET CONSTRAINTS]. Design a content marketing system with: the primary content format I should use, the publication frequency that is realistic given my constraints, the distribution channels, how I will convert content readers into leads, and the three most important topics to start with.

Build Marketing Systems

Create a marketing attribution model

My business uses these marketing channels: [LIST]. I want to understand which channels are actually driving revenue, but last-click attribution gives all the credit to the final touch before purchase. Help me think through a better attribution model for my specific business. What data do I need to track? What are the tradeoffs between different attribution models (first-click, linear, time-decay, data-driven)? What is the simplest upgrade from last-click that would give me more useful insight?

Build Marketing Systems

Write a go-to-market plan for a new product

I am launching [NEW PRODUCT] to [MARKET]. Here are the product details: [DESCRIBE]. Write a go-to-market plan that covers: the initial target segment (who to sell to first and why), the pricing strategy, the launch channels and sequence, the pre-launch build-up activities, the launch week plan, and how I will measure whether the launch is working in the first 30 days.

Build Marketing Systems

Measure and Optimize

Marketing that is not measured is just spending. These prompts help you define what to measure and act on what you find.

Define the marketing metrics that matter

My marketing goal is [DESCRIBE — MORE LEADS / LOWER CAC / HIGHER LTV / BETTER BRAND AWARENESS]. I am currently tracking [LIST METRICS]. Help me identify: which of my current metrics are leading indicators versus lagging indicators, which metrics I should stop tracking because they are vanity metrics, and the two or three metrics I should focus on to know whether my marketing is actually working.

Measure and Optimize

Diagnose why a campaign underperformed

I ran a marketing campaign for [DESCRIBE CAMPAIGN]. The results were: [DESCRIBE RESULTS]. My goal was [DESCRIBE GOAL]. Help me diagnose why the campaign underperformed. Walk through the funnel: was the problem reach, click-through, landing page conversion, or post-conversion action? Suggest the most likely root cause and the one change I would make if I ran it again.

Measure and Optimize

Plan an A/B test for a marketing asset

I want to A/B test [DESCRIBE ASSET — EMAIL SUBJECT LINE / LANDING PAGE HEADLINE / AD CREATIVE / CTA BUTTON]. My current version is: [DESCRIBE CONTROL]. Suggest a test variant that changes only one element so I can attribute any difference to that change. What hypothesis does this test? How many visitors or sends do I need for the result to be statistically meaningful? What will I do with the result?

Measure and Optimize

Write a marketing performance report

Here is my marketing data for [PERIOD]: [PASTE KEY METRICS]. My audience for this report is [DESCRIBE — CEO / BOARD / MARKETING TEAM / INVESTOR]. Write a performance report that: leads with the most important finding (not a recitation of all the numbers), puts results in context (versus goal and versus prior period), identifies the two to three most important takeaways, and recommends specific actions for next period.

Measure and Optimize

Calculate marketing ROI for a channel

I spent [AMOUNT] on [MARKETING CHANNEL] over [PERIOD]. It generated [NUMBER] leads and [NUMBER] customers. The average customer value is [LTV]. Help me calculate: the cost per lead, the cost per acquisition, the ROI on this channel, and how this compares to a hypothetical benchmark. Also help me think about what would need to be true for this channel to be worth scaling.

What marketing tasks is Claude best at?+

How do I give Claude my brand voice for marketing copy?+

Share two to three examples of marketing copy you are proud of and tell Claude what you like about them. Describe your brand tone: is it playful or serious, casual or formal, bold or understated? The more specific you are, the more accurately it can match your voice.
