Draft an evidence-aware marketing campaign brief from the supplied facts.

Business goal, baseline, target, timeframe, reason, and owner:
[goal]

Audience research, product facts, proof, objections, prior results, and unknowns:
[evidence]

Budget, dates, markets, channels, team, approvals, legal rules, assets, and measurement limits:
[constraints]

Separate confirmed facts, assumptions, and open decisions. Translate the business goal into one primary audience behavior without claiming marketing alone will cause the business outcome. Define audience and exclusion, problem or motivation, offer, value proposition, supporting proof, objections, single primary call to action, message hierarchy, channel roles, journey stages, deliverables, owners, dates, dependencies, budget allocation, and approval gates. Specify primary and guardrail metrics with baseline, target, data source, attribution window, and decision rule where supplied. Never invent research, product capability, customer quote, benchmark, budget, owner, or compliance approval. Mark missing inputs explicitly. End with risks, testable hypotheses, launch checklist, and unresolved decisions ranked by impact.

From input to outcome

A worked example

See how concrete context turns this recipe into a usable result

Actual input

Business goal and baseline
Increase completed trial activations for a scheduling tool from 800 to 1,000 during October. Trial activation means connecting a calendar and publishing one booking page within 7 days. Product marketing owns the brief; growth lead approves. This is a contribution target, not proven causal attribution.
Audience and offer evidence
Interview notes from 12 freelance consultants: 8 struggle with scheduling email; 5 worry setup will take too long. Verified product facts: Google and Outlook connections; guided setup averages 6 minutes in an internal usability test of 20 people. No approved customer quotes. Prior paid-social click-through 1.1%; activation after signup 32%. Unknown whether consultants respond to a time-saved claim.
Execution constraints
USD 18,000 total. US English only. Sep 15-Oct 31 including production. Email to opted-in leads and paid LinkedIn are available. Two landing-page variants maximum. Legal must approve time claims. Designer 4 days, copywriter 3 days, analyst 1 day weekly. Attribution window 7 days after signup.

Example output

Primary behavior: eligible freelance consultants complete calendar connection and publish a booking page within seven days of signup. Contribution target: 1,000 October activations versus the 800 baseline; do not present the campaign as the sole cause.

Audience: US English-speaking freelance consultants who schedule client meetings and are eligible for opted-in email or LinkedIn targeting. Exclude existing activated users and anyone without consent for email. Audience size is missing.

Problem and message hierarchy: lead with reducing scheduling back-and-forth, supported by 8 of 12 interviews. Address setup concern with the verified internal result: guided setup averaged six minutes among 20 test participants, subject to legal approval and clear study context. Do not use a customer quote or a general “saves hours” claim. Primary CTA: start the trial and publish a booking page.

Channel roles: opted-in email reaches known leads with setup reassurance; LinkedIn tests problem-led acquisition; two landing variants compare scheduling-friction versus setup-ease emphasis. Hypothesis: setup-ease proof increases seven-day activation among consultant signups; this is unvalidated.

Measures: primary—seven-day completed activations, baseline 800 and target 1,000, source to be confirmed. Funnel diagnostics—eligible reach, clicks, signups, connection, published page. Guardrails—unsubscribe rate and cost per activation; thresholds are missing. Use the stated seven-day attribution window.

Budget and ownership: total USD 18,000 is confirmed, but allocation is an open decision. Product marketing owns the brief; growth approves. Named channel, creative, legal, and analytics owners and exact launch date are missing.

Highest-impact open decisions: confirm addressable audience and whether the target is feasible; approve or reject the qualified six-minute claim; define data source and guardrails; allocate budget; assign production owners; set experiment decision rule. Launch only after consent rules, legal copy, tracking events, exclusions, landing variants, QA, and rollback owner are confirmed.

Why this works

  1. 1

    Separating facts from hypotheses prevents planning assumptions from becoming public claims.

  2. 2

    Behavior, evidence, and decision rules connect creative work to an inspectable business purpose.

Check the result

  • Is the primary behavior measurable and plausibly connected to the business goal?

  • Is every external claim backed by supplied evidence or labeled for validation?

  • Are owners, dates, budget, approvals, and decision rules confirmed rather than invented?
