How the prompts work together across the communication lifecycle
The course organizes prompts into a coherent system that supports everyday operations and high-pressure scenarios. Each set complements the others, so you can move seamlessly from planning to execution and back to evaluation.
- Clarify goals and stakeholders: Start with prompts that translate business goals into clear communication objectives, define target audiences, and set channel priorities.
- Audience insight and content analysis: Use structured queries to summarize research, map audience needs, surface content gaps, and prioritize topics backed by data.
- Messaging and strategy: Apply messaging frameworks that keep brand voice consistent while adapting to internal and external contexts.
- Content creation and adaptation: Produce drafts and variants for email, intranet, press, social, and training materials, all calibrated to tone, length, and purpose.
- Approval and risk checks: Run QA prompts for accuracy, inclusivity, legal considerations, and policy compliance before anything goes live.
- Publishing and coordination: Prepare calendars, briefing notes, media lists, and stakeholder updates to keep everyone informed and synchronized.
- Monitoring and metrics: Set up prompts that translate analytics into clear insights, tie outcomes to objectives, and recommend adjustments.
- Iteration and learning: Use retro prompts to capture lessons learned, refine messaging, and improve processes over time.
- Crisis readiness and response: Maintain always-on prompts for scenario drills, severity assessment, message approvals, and real-time content updates.
- Training and enablement: Equip spokespeople, managers, and team members with prompts for practice, feedback, and ongoing skill development.
- Events and amplification: Coordinate pre-event messaging, live coverage, and post-event recaps that feed into broader campaigns and reports.
Everything is built to be modular. You can use individual sets as needed or chain them together for end-to-end workflows. The same core inputs-goals, audiences, voice, constraints, and policies-carry through, so outputs stay consistent no matter the channel.
How to use these prompts effectively
- Set context clearly: Provide the objective, audience segments, tone, constraints, and references in a consistent format so the model stays on track.
- Keep a voice and style baseline: Maintain a living style guide that the prompts reference to preserve brand language across channels.
- Use approved sources: Link to official policies, FAQs, product sheets, and prior messaging to improve accuracy and reduce rework.
- Adopt role-based prompting: Switch the model's role (planner, analyst, editor, compliance reviewer, spokesperson coach) to improve review quality.
- Version control: Name versions and track changes so teams can compare outputs, revert if needed, and document decisions.
- Build prompt chains: Run analysis prompts first, then feed their summaries into creation prompts, followed by QA and measurement prompts.
- A/B test safely: Test tone, calls to action, and formatting; validate outcomes with real metrics, not just preference.
- Protect data: Avoid sharing sensitive or personal information; use approved tools and follow company data policies.
- Check inclusivity and accessibility: Use prompts that flag jargon, bias, readability issues, and accessibility gaps.
- Localize with care: Apply translation and localization prompts with cultural and regulatory checks, then validate with native reviewers.
- Document lessons: Save effective prompt variants and examples; build a shared library your team can reuse.
