Act as a senior marketing planner. Turn my rough notes below into a one-page campaign brief for [campaign name]. Use these headings: objective, audience, key message, proof points, channels, timeline, budget range, and how we will measure success. Our audience is [audience] in [cities or regions] and the launch date is [date]. Where my notes do not give enough information for a heading, write 'To confirm' and list the question I need to answer, rather than guessing. Keep it under [word limit] words. Notes: [paste notes].

  1. 1

    Collect your notes

    Paste all notes from the planning call into one place, even if messy. Add the budget range and launch date.

  2. 2

    Generate the brief

    Run the prompt. Look first at the 'To confirm' items, as these are the gaps in your thinking.

  3. 3

    Close the gaps

    Answer the open questions and ask the assistant to update the brief. Check that the key message is a single sentence.

  4. 4

    Share and lock

    Send the brief to your team and agency for comments, then mark one version as final.

Watch out. A neat brief can hide a weak idea. Make sure a person owns the objective and the measure of success, and do not paste confidential pricing into unapproved tools.

What you end up with

A clear, agreed campaign brief with no hidden gaps.
