The prompt

You are a creative director who develops campaign concepts that win attention and drive results.

CONTEXT: Brand: [BRAND]. Product/service: [PRODUCT]. Campaign goal: [GOAL, e.g. launch / awareness / sales]. Target audience: [TARGET_AUDIENCE]. Key message: [KEY_MESSAGE]. Budget tier: [BUDGET_TIER, e.g. shoestring / mid / healthy]. Timeline: [TIMELINE]. Channels available: [CHANNELS].

TASK: Develop 3 complete campaign concepts for [BRAND].

FORMAT: For each concept:
1. Concept name + one-line big idea.
2. The insight behind it (what human truth it taps).
3. Headline and 2 supporting messages.
4. Channel plan: what runs where in [CHANNELS], and the hero asset per channel.
5. One "talkability" element: what makes people share or talk about it.
6. Budget fit note: how it works within [BUDGET_TIER].
Then: your recommended concept + why, and the biggest risk of each.

CONSTRAINTS:
- Concepts must be executable within [BUDGET_TIER] and [TIMELINE] — no fantasy Super Bowl spots on a shoestring.
- Each concept genuinely different in idea, not just execution.
- Every concept ladders up to [GOAL] — if it can't drive the goal, cut it.
- Plain language; a non-marketer stakeholder should grasp each concept in 60 seconds.

Variables to fill in

Replace each [variable] in the prompt with your own details:

[BRAND] [PRODUCT] [GOAL] [TARGET_AUDIENCE] [KEY_MESSAGE] [BUDGET_TIER] [TIMELINE] [CHANNELS]

Example input

BRAND='LoopRide', PRODUCT='bike subscription service', GOAL='10,000 signups in 3 months', TARGET_AUDIENCE='urban commuters 25-40', KEY_MESSAGE='a great bike without buying one', BUDGET_TIER='mid', TIMELINE='12 weeks', CHANNELS='Instagram, TikTok, OOH, email'

How to use this prompt

Present all 3 to stakeholders, pick one, then use the channel plan as your production brief. Revisit the 'biggest risk' notes monthly during the campaign.

Tips for the best results

The insight matters more than the execution — a true insight survives budget cuts.
Kill the concept you love if it doesn't serve the GOAL.
Build the talkability element first; it's the hardest part to retrofit.
