Before you start
A chat assistant and the fictional event brief below, or a product or event of your own with verified details. An image tool is optional.
Why this lesson exists
The archived posts behind “A Marketing Campaign Before Dinner” connect a single brief to multiple formats. The useful skill is preserving facts and audience fit as the format changes.
Practice material
Fictional. Use it for every step below, or swap in your own later.
Verified brief (fictional) Event: community bike-repair evening When: Thursday 18:00–20:00 Where: community hall workshop room Places: 20 Price: not confirmed yet Bring: your bike and any spare parts you already have For: adults who want to learn basic repairs, such as fixing a puncture or adjusting brakes Evidence: none yet; no testimonials or past attendance figures Action: reserve a seat (link to be added)
Do the exercise
Create the source brief
Record the offer, audience, date, location, price if verified, evidence and desired action. Label missing facts. Do not ask the model to fill factual gaps creatively.
Adapt to three channels
Request an email draft, a social post and a landing-page introduction. Keep one action across all three while adapting length and context.
Check claims and consistency
Compare every date, quantity, testimonial and product claim with the brief. Remove unsupported urgency, guarantees and invented customer stories.
Review before publication
Have the owner check facts and intended audience. For regulated industries, route the copy through the relevant review process. Save approved copy as the source for future variations.
A prompt to adapt
Replace the bracketed parts with your own details.
Using only this verified brief [brief], draft a short email, social post and landing-page introduction for [audience]. All three should lead to [action]. Preserve facts exactly, mark missing information and list every claim needing review. Do not invent testimonials, scarcity or results.
What this looks like
If the event runs from six to eight, every channel should say that. “Doors open at five” is not a harmless creative detail unless the brief supports it.
Check your result
Use evidence from your output. A confident explanation from the AI is not enough.
If it isn’t working
If the three drafts disagree on a date, time or price, check which one matches the brief and regenerate the others from the brief alone. If the copy adds urgency, testimonials or results you did not supply, ask for a plain factual rewrite that names the brief line behind each claim. For property ads, describe verified features rather than who the home suits.
