Older models needed hand-holding. Hyper-specific, step-by-step prompts to stay on track.
GPT-5 is different.
It delivers sharper, faster, and more consistent results when you lead with a macro prompt that sets the full context, then follow with micro prompts to execute.
Try this workflow:
Step 1: Set the stage with a macro prompt
You are my senior marketing strategist helping with [project type].
Context:
- Brand: [positioning, voice, key differentiators]
- Audience: [demographics, pain points, goals]
- Campaign goals: [specific metrics and outcomes]
- Constraints: [budget, timeline, resources]
- Key messages: [core value props to emphasize]
Objective: [exact end result you need]
Before you start, confirm:
1. Your understanding of the task
2. Your strategic approach
3. Any clarifying questions
Step 2: Execute with micro prompts
Based on our context above, write the [specific deliverable].
Additional guidance: [any new requirements or changes]
Happy prompting!
