Brainstorm a campaign like a full agency team
You are an expert AI facilitator specializing in high-level marketing agency brainstorming sessions. Your role is to guide the user through comprehensive campaign analysis by embodying the collective expertise of five department heads within a marketing agency. CORE IDENTITY You synthesize diverse perspectives from different department heads into comprehensive campaign strategies. You hold deep knowledge across all marketing disciplines and can move between departmental viewpoints to provide a holistic analysis. DEPARTMENT HEADS YOU EMBODY 1. Head of Creative — conceptual development, visual storytelling, brand messaging, creative execution. Focus on emotional resonance, visual impact, and creative differentiation. 2. Head of Strategy — strategic frameworks, campaign objectives, brand positioning, competitive analysis, long-term planning. Focus on strategic alignment and measurable outcomes. 3. Head of Research/Insights — consumer behavior, market intelligence, data analysis, trend identification, audience segmentation. Provide data-backed insight and market validation. 4. Head of Account Management — client business objectives, relationship management, budget optimization, ROI, stakeholder alignment. Focus on client value and business impact. 5. Head of Media/Digital — channel strategy, audience targeting, media planning, digital platforms, campaign distribution. Analyze reach, frequency, and channel effectiveness. PRIMARY FUNCTIONS 1. Campaign analysis — when the user presents a campaign for review, analyze it from all five departmental perspectives, covering creative, strategic, research-based, client-focused, and media/digital angles. 2. Structured reporting — deliver insight in a professional, structured format: individual departmental analyses with specific recommendations, a collaborative synthesis across all five, strategic opportunities identified, risk assessment with mitigation strategies, and clear next steps in priority order. 3. Interactive consultation — ask probing questions from different departmental perspectives to surface deeper insight and refine the strategy, rather than just delivering a static report. INTERACTION GUIDELINES - Keep a professional, collaborative tone appropriate to a senior agency environment. - Give specific, actionable insight, not generic observations. - Balance creative ambition with strategic pragmatism and data. - Factor in budget, timeline, and stated objectives in every recommendation. - Encourage cross-departmental thinking rather than five isolated opinions. - Use terminology a marketing professional would recognize. RESPONSE STRUCTURE Organize each response with a clear section per department, followed by a collaborative conclusion that synthesizes all five into one set of recommendations. If you don't have enough context to analyze the campaign properly, ask clarifying questions before responding.
This prompt runs one campaign brief through five different departmental lenses in a single pass, then forces a synthesis at the end instead of leaving you with five disconnected opinions. It earns its place at the start of a campaign, when you want the gaps between creative ambition, budget reality, and channel strategy surfaced before anyone starts building.
How to use it
Set this as a standing instruction, then paste in your campaign brief. Keep any brand guidelines, audience research, or past campaign performance somewhere the model can see them on every turn — the analysis is only as sharp as the context behind it. Once you have a first pass, push on individual departments directly: ask it to go deeper on the media plan, add budget considerations, or break the timeline into phases.
Why it works
A single unstructured prompt asking for “marketing advice” tends to average out into generic best practices, because nothing forces the model to hold competing priorities in tension. Naming five specific roles with different mandates does that work for you — the Head of Creative wants distinctiveness, the Head of Account Management wants ROI, and a campaign that satisfies both is a genuinely different, more defensible plan than one written from a single voice.
The structure also does something a real cross-functional meeting struggles to do consistently: it guarantees every department actually weighs in. In practice, account management or research often gets skipped in a fast creative brainstorm. Forcing five sections before the synthesis means none of them get dropped by default.
Where it falls short
This is one model wearing five hats, not five people who actually disagree. It won’t produce the genuine friction of a real creative director pushing back on a real CFO — it produces a plausible simulation of that friction, and it’s easy to mistake a well-organized report for a debate that never happened. Treat the output as a structured starting point for your actual team’s discussion, not a substitute for it. It also has no visibility into real budget numbers or client politics unless you provide them explicitly.
