AI Marketing Prompts
8 original, tested prompts for the marketing tasks that come up every week — content planning, ad copy, positioning and more. Copy any prompt, fill in the brackets, and use it in ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
Content Calendar Generator
Act as a content strategist for a [industry] business targeting [audience]. Create a 4-week content calendar with 3 posts per week. For each post, give: a working title, the platform it's best suited for, the content pillar it supports (education, trust-building, or promotion), and one sentence on the angle. Keep titles specific, not generic.
Ad Copy Variations
Write 5 ad copy variations for [product/service], each using a different angle: (1) a pain-point hook, (2) a specific result/number, (3) a question that challenges an assumption, (4) social proof, (5) urgency without being pushy. Keep each under 40 words and end with a clear call to action.
Value Proposition Sharpener
Here is our current value proposition: [paste it]. We sell to [audience] and compete against [main alternative]. Rewrite this into 3 versions: one focused on the outcome we deliver, one focused on what makes us different from the alternative, and one focused on removing a specific risk or objection.
Customer Persona Builder
Build a customer persona for [product/service] targeting [rough audience description]. Include: their main goal, their biggest frustration with current solutions, what would make them trust a new vendor, and the one objection most likely to stop them from buying. Keep it grounded and specific, not generic marketing-speak.
Social Media Caption Batch
I have content about [topic/product]. Write 5 caption options for Instagram/LinkedIn: one storytelling angle, one educational tip, one direct promotional angle, one question to drive comments, and one behind-the-scenes angle. Match the tone to [brand tone, e.g. professional but warm].
Email Subject Line Tester
Write 8 subject lines for an email about [topic/offer]. Include a mix of: curiosity-driven, benefit-driven, urgency-driven, and personalized/direct. Keep each under 50 characters. Flag which 2 you'd test first and why.
Competitor Positioning Analysis
Here are 2-3 competitors in [industry]: [names/brief description]. Based on how they likely position themselves, suggest 3 positioning angles we could take that would feel distinct rather than 'me too.' For each angle, note the type of customer it would attract most.
Landing Page Headline Generator
Write 6 landing page headline options for [product/service] aimed at [audience]. The core benefit is [main benefit]. Make 2 outcome-focused, 2 pain-point-focused, and 2 curiosity-focused. Each should work as a standalone headline without needing the subheading to make sense.
