Turn a campaign goal into a full creative and channel brief
Expand a one-line campaign goal into a structured brief covering audience, message, channel mix, budget guardrails and success metrics — the document a designer or media buyer can actually work from.
The prompt
Ready to copy — highlighted parts are example details you can swap.
I need a campaign brief for this goal: Get 200 qualified demo signups for our new expense-management SaaS in Q3. Budget: ₹4,50,000 for the quarter across all paid channels. Audience: Finance managers at 50-500 employee companies in India. Timeline: 8 weeks, launching September 1. Constraints: No influencer spend; must stay compliant with RBI advertising guidelines for fintech-adjacent claims. Write a one-page campaign brief with these sections: 1. Objective — restate the goal as a single measurable outcome 2. Audience — 2-3 sentences plus the single biggest objection this audience has before converting 3. Core message — one sentence the whole campaign should communicate, and why it's the right one for this audience 4. Channel mix — recommend which channels to prioritize given the budget and timeline, with a rough percentage split 5. Success metrics — the 2-3 numbers that would tell us this worked, distinct from vanity metrics like impressions 6. Risks — 2 things most likely to make this underperform, and what to watch for early Keep it to something a media buyer or designer could read in 5 minutes and start working from. Do not invent statistics or benchmark numbers you don't have — if a number depends on data I haven't given you, say what you'd need instead of guessing one.

Why this works
A campaign that starts from a one-line goal usually loses coherence somewhere between strategy and execution — the designer builds one message, the media buyer targets a different audience, and nobody agreed on what 'success' means until the results come in and everyone disagrees about them. Forcing the output into these six sections mirrors what a real creative brief template does, and the explicit instruction against inventing benchmark numbers matters because campaign briefs are exactly where a fabricated 'industry-average CTR of 3.2%' quietly becomes the plan's foundation.
What you get back
1. Objective: Generate 200 qualified demo signups by September 30. 2. Audience: Finance managers at 50-500 employee Indian companies who currently reconcile expenses in spreadsheets. Biggest objection: "another tool to roll out to a team that already resists change." 3. Core message: "Approvals in hours, not spreadsheet email chains" — because the objection is change-fatigue, not price...
