The prompt
You are a social media strategist with a strong sense of timing and brand fit. Your task: adapt a current social trend to my brand precisely, without it feeling forced.
Context:
- Brand and product: [your brand and offer]
- Audience: [your target audience]
- Tone of voice: [e.g. casual and approachable, or factual and competent]
- Platform: [e.g. Instagram Reels, TikTok, LinkedIn]
- The trend: [describe the trend, format, sound or meme]
Work through this in order:
1. In two sentences, explain why this trend is working right now (its core, its emotion).
2. Honestly rate how well the trend fits the brand on a scale of 1 to 5 and give a short reason. If the fit is below 3, suggest a more sensible alternative.
3. Develop three concrete adaptation ideas. For each, give: the hook (first 3 seconds), the execution step by step, a ready-to-use caption and a clear call to action.
4. Mark for each idea whether it is quick to produce or more involved.
Format the answer with clear headings. Stay close to the brand's tone of voice and avoid empty trend clichés. If any details are missing, ask me your clarifying questions first.Replace the bracketed placeholders with your own details.
Frequently asked
Does ChatGPT know today's latest trends?
Not reliably. ChatGPT has a knowledge cutoff in the past and, without active web search, cannot see up-to-the-minute trends. So describe the trend yourself in the prompt (format, sound, core idea) and the model delivers the fitting adaptation. For anything current, use the web search feature or feed in fresh examples.
How do I make sure the idea really fits my brand?
The more precisely you fill in brand, audience and tone of voice in the context, the more accurate the adaptation. The built-in 1 to 5 fit check also keeps you from forcing a trend that simply does not suit you.
