How to Use This Pack

This is a structured set of AI prompts that accelerates campaign ideation while keeping strategy front and center.

Before running any prompt, define three inputs: your audience (job title, company size, the Slack channel or newsletter they check before their coffee gets cold), your budget tier, and your primary channel. Paste those three inputs into every prompt you run. Specific context produces specific ideas.

Section 1: Audience-Driven Ideation Prompts

These prompts put the buyer at the center of ideation before any channel or format enters the picture. The ideas that come out are shaped around a specific person's behavior, frustration, and content habits, which makes them easier to brief, easier to execute, and more likely to land.

"I'm a B2B marketer at a [company size] company selling [product/service] to [job title] at [industry] companies. My buyer's biggest frustration right now is [specific pain point]. They spend time on [channels]. Generate 10 campaign ideas that speak directly to that frustration and feel native to how they already consume content. For each idea, note the format, the hook, and the channel."

Flag any idea where the hook works as a subject line, a LinkedIn opener, and a spoken sentence. That range signals a concept with real distribution potential.

"Generate 8 campaign ideas for [primary channel] built around how that platform rewards content. My audience is [persona]. The campaign goal is [awareness / pipeline / retention]. For each idea, include the native format, the engagement mechanic, and a realistic execution timeline for a team of [headcount]."

 

Section 2: Budget-Tiered Campaign Prompts

These prompts wire budget into the brief from the start. Pick the tier that matches your actual resources, paste in your audience and channel, and every idea that comes back is one you can realistically build. No culling required after the fact.

"Generate 8 campaign ideas I can execute for under $5,000 with a team of 1 to 2 people. My audience is [persona]. My primary channel is [channel]. Prioritize ideas that trade on time and creativity over vendor spend. For each idea, estimate the hours required and the metric I'd use to measure success."

Strong territory at this budget: founder LinkedIn content, educational email courses, Reddit AMAs, 30-day community challenges, LinkedIn carousels that double as lead magnets.

 

"Generate 8 campaign ideas with a budget between $5,000 and $25,000. My audience is [persona]. I have [headcount] to execute. For each idea, include the rough budget split, the channel mix, and one execution risk I should pressure-test before committing."

Strong territory at this budget: micro-influencer gifting, podcast tours, template libraries, annual benchmark reports, video testimonial campaigns shot on-site at customer offices.

"Generate 6 campaign ideas for a budget of $25,000 or more. My audience is [persona]. My company's credibility in [space] is [strong / still building]. For each idea, include the production requirements, the distribution plan, and the realistic timeline from kickoff to launch."

Strong territory at this budget: data visualization projects, case study documentaries, pop-up experiences, AI-personalized landing page campaigns, branded research reports with media distribution.

Section 3: Channel-Specific Prompts

Each prompt is built around how a specific platform rewards content, not just repurposed from a generic ideation format. Run the prompt for your primary channel. Add one supporting channel if you're planning a multi-surface push. You don't need all six.

"Generate 6 LinkedIn campaign ideas for [persona] built around how the algorithm currently rewards content. Include at least two ideas in a document or carousel format. For each, write the opening line of the post."

"Generate 6 email campaign ideas for [persona] that would perform in a crowded inbox. Include the subject line angle, the email format (plain text, designed, or sequence), and one reason a reader would forward it."

 

"Generate 5 campaign ideas designed to run inside or alongside an existing online community where my audience is already active. The goal is [awareness / trust / pipeline]. Each idea should add something the community actually wants."

"Generate 5 event-based campaign ideas for [persona]. Include a mix of owned events and third-party plays. For each, note the budget range and whether the campaign has a life beyond the event date."

"Generate 5 co-marketing or partnership campaign ideas between my brand and a complementary product or media property. My audience is [persona]. For each idea, describe what each partner contributes and what each partner gets out of it."

"Generate 5 campaign ideas where the product itself is the mechanic. My product is [product]. My audience is [persona]. Ideas should drive acquisition or expansion."

Section 4: Idea Filtering + Selection Prompts

By now you have a long list. These four prompts work in sequence: rank by fit, stress-test by execution reality, check for differentiation, then commit to two. The output of Prompt 4D gives you the core inputs to build your campaign brief.

"Here is a list of campaign ideas I've generated: [paste list]. Rank them from strongest to weakest based on audience relevance, channel fit, execution feasibility for a team of [headcount], and differentiation from standard category marketing. Include a one-sentence rationale for each ranking."

 

"Take the top 5 ideas from my ranked list. For each one, identify the single biggest execution risk given that I have [headcount], a budget of [budget], and a timeline of [weeks/months]. Be specific about what breaks first when resources get tight."

 

"For each of these 5 campaign ideas, identify whether a well-known brand in [industry] is already running something similar, and what I would need to change to own a distinct angle. If the idea is already crowded, say so directly."

 

"Based on the ranking, feasibility check, and differentiation check above, recommend the 1 to 2 campaigns I should commit to. For each: write the concept in one sentence, name the primary channel, state the budget required, identify the metric I'd use to call it a win or a loss at 90 days, and flag one decision I need to make before kickoff."

 

Section 5: Rapid Remix Prompts

You have a winning idea and a brief. These three prompts extend the concept across channels, formats, and audiences without rebuilding from scratch. The goal is more surface area from the same core idea.

"My campaign concept is [winning idea]. My primary channel is [channel]. Generate executions of this concept for [LinkedIn / email / short-form video / events / partnerships]. Each execution should fit how that channel works, not just reword the original."

 

"Take this campaign idea: [winning idea]. Generate five formats it could live in: a long-form anchor asset, a short-form social post, a spoken hook for a podcast or video, an email subject line, and a one-page PDF leave-behind."

 

"My campaign was built for [primary persona]. Adapt the core concept for two adjacent audiences: [persona 2] and [persona 3]. Note what changes in the hook, the channel, and the offer."
