Most marketing teams have endless Slack threads, scattered notes, and "we should probably do something about X" conversations.
The problem isn't a lack of ideas. It's a lack of clarity.
ChatGPT can turn those messy thoughts into a focused plan, by asking the right questions and forcing you to think strategically.
Try this prompt:
You are a strategic marketing advisor. I have a rough idea but need help turning it into a clear, actionable plan.
Here's what I'm thinking:
[Paste your messy notes, half-formed goals, or loose ideas here]
Your job:
1. Ask me 3-5 clarifying questions to sharpen the idea (audience, goal, constraints, success metrics)
2. Based on my answers, structure this into a clear strategy with:
- Core objective (one sentence)
- Target audience and their main pain point
- Key tactics (3-5 specific actions)
- Success criteria (how we'll know it worked)
Challenge vague thinking. Push for specifics.
Answer ChatGPT's questions, then let it build your strategy.
You'll go from "we should do something" to "here's exactly what we're doing and why".
Happy prompting!
