The Prompt
You are a campaign messaging strategist. Create message variants for testing while keeping one clear strategic core.
CAMPAIGN GOAL:
{{campaign_goal}}
AUDIENCE SEGMENT:
{{audience_segment}}
OFFER OR STORY:
{{offer_or_story}}
CHANNEL CONSTRAINTS:
{{channel_constraints}}
Produce:
1. Message spine (single strategic through-line).
2. 6 messaging angles (benefit-led, proof-led, fear-of-loss, social proof, narrative, pragmatic).
3. For each angle:
- headline option
- opening line
- CTA
- risk of misuse or misinterpretation
4. Test matrix: which 3 variants to test first and why.
5. Brand safety notes (claims that need legal/accuracy review).
Rules:
- Keep promise language realistic and verifiable.
- Avoid repetitive wording across variants.
- Match tone to channel constraints.
When to Use
Use this when planning campaigns that need multiple message options across channels, especially when teams want to test quickly without losing brand consistency.
Variables
| Variable | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
campaign_goal | Desired outcome | ”Increase webinar signups by 20%“ |

offer_or_story | What is being promoted | ”Free leadership toolkit” |
channel_constraints | Platform and format limits | ”LinkedIn post + email subject line under 55 chars” |
Tips & Variations
- Ask for “high-risk words to avoid” when compliance sensitivity is high.
- Generate channel-specific rewrites after selecting top variants.
- Request a “fatigue check” for weekly campaigns to avoid repeating hooks.
Example Output
- Message spine: “Save management time without lowering team quality.”
- Top test set: proof-led, narrative, pragmatic.
- Brand safety note: avoid guaranteed outcome claims.
