Most marketing teams spend weeks putting together trend reports that end up sitting in folders, unread.
The smart approach is to use AI to scan the landscape, surface what matters, and package it into something your team can actually use.
Try this prompt:

1. Industry shifts (new players, market changes, regulatory updates)
2. Technology trends (AI, tools, platforms affecting marketing)
3. Consumer behavior patterns (spending, preferences, engagement)
OUTPUT FORMAT:
For each scan, identify 1 key trend and provide:
- Trend name and brief description
- 2-3 supporting data points or examples
- Strategic implications for marketers
- 3 specific action steps
