Everyone jumps on the same viral story with the same tired takes. You end up sounding like every other marketer in your feed.
Instead, try this prompt:
You are my content strategist. I want to turn a trending topic into a post for my brand/audience.
Follow these steps:
1. Summarize the trending topic in 1-2 lines (assume my audience may not know all the context)
2. Extract 2-3 insights or lessons that connect this trend back to marketing/business strategy
3. Suggest one sharp angle or contrarian POV that makes my brand sound original, not generic
4. Draft a LinkedIn/X-style post in my brand voice that explains the connection clearly and concisely
5. Give me 2 alternate headlines or hooks I could use to maximize attention
Trending topic: [PASTE ARTICLE LINK OR DESCRIBE THE TREND]
My brand voice: [DESCRIBE YOUR TONE - e.g., "direct and no-nonsense" or "witty but helpful"]
My audience: [WHO YOU'RE TARGETING - e.g., "B2B marketers" or "startup founders"]
Focus on insights that aren't obvious. I want to sound smart, not like I'm just commenting on news.
You'll get content that connects current events to real strategy, not just another hot take.
Happy prompting!
