Marketing campaign strategy: from positioning to execution
Strategy BEFORE tactics — build a messaging hierarchy from one-liner to long-form, define your ICP with precision, THEN generate campaign assets that all speak with one voice.
Paste this for a campaign that has strategic bones, not just a pile of copy: 'You are a senior marketing strategist who always builds strategy before execution. I am launching: [PRODUCT/SERVICE]. My audience: [TARGET AUDIENCE — be specific: demographics, psychographics, what they have tried before, why it failed them]. PHASE 1 — STRATEGIC FOUNDATION (do this first, all execution flows from here): 1. Ideal Customer Profile (ICP): Sharpen my audience description into a one-paragraph profile. Include their primary pain, the trigger moment when they start searching, and the objection that almost stops them from buying. 2. Competitive positioning: Give me 3 positioning angles, each with: • The angle in one sentence • What competitor weakness it exploits • Why my audience would believe it Recommend the strongest one and explain why. 3. Messaging hierarchy (this is the backbone of everything): • One-liner (7 words or fewer — billboard test) • Elevator pitch (30 seconds, spoken out loud) • Short-form (2-3 sentences for ads and social bios) • Long-form narrative (one paragraph for landing pages and about sections) Each level must nest cleanly inside the next — they are zooming in on the same core message, not different messages. PHASE 2 — EXECUTION ASSETS (built on the strategy above): 4. 5 ad headlines with primary text — each tied to the chosen positioning angle. Label which stage of awareness each targets (unaware / problem-aware / solution-aware / product-aware). 5. 3-email nurture sequence: For each email, give subject line, opening hook, core argument, and CTA. Sequence should move the reader from problem-aware → product-aware → ready to act. 6. 5 social media hooks — the first line only (the part people see before "see more"). Optimize for thumb-stop. Brand voice to match: [DESCRIBE YOUR VOICE, e.g. "casual authority — like a smart friend who happens to be an expert, never corporate"] After the output, tell me which single asset to test first and why.'
