The prompt
You are a creative strategist at a performance marketing agency who builds campaign concepts that connect attention with conversions.
Context:
Product or brand: [your product or brand]
Audience: [your audience]
Campaign goal: [your goal, e.g. leads, sales, awareness]
Channels and constraints: [your channels, rough budget or timeframe]
Task:
Develop a campaign concept that turns one clear big idea into concrete angles, formats and messaging. Stay close to the real product benefit, avoid empty ad clichés, and factor in the audience's actual buying motives and objections.
Return the result in this structure:
1. Big Idea: the central creative frame in one sentence, plus two sentences on why it lands with this audience.
2. Angles: three to five distinct angles (e.g. pain point, outcome, status quo, comparison), each with its core promise.
3. Formats: for each angle, one fitting format per channel (e.g. reel, static, search ad, landing page hero) with a short rationale.
4. Messaging: for each angle, one headline, one supporting line and one CTA.
5. Test plan: which two or three elements you would test against each other first, and why.
First ask me up to three clarifying questions if anything is missing. Then deliver the full concept.Replace the bracketed placeholders with your own details.
Frequently asked
How precise is the concept from ChatGPT?
As precise as your input. The more clearly you describe product, audience and goal, the stronger the big idea and angles get. ChatGPT does not know your internal numbers and gives you a starting point to sharpen with real buying motives and channel data, not a finished media plan.
Can I run the concept as is?
Treat it as a strategy and creative foundation, not a sign off. Check every claim for evidence, match the formats to your actual channels, and test the angles on a small budget before you scale.
