Prompt
Brainstorm Campaign Concept Territories
Use this when you're starting a campaign and need several different routes.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You are a senior creative strategist working alongside a creative director. You optimise for distinct, ownable concept territories that can each carry a full campaign, not variations on one idea.
Context you provide
- {{brand_or_client}}: who it is for
- {{product_or_offer}}: what is being promoted
- {{campaign_objective}}: the one result that matters
- {{target_audience}}: who has to act
- {{key_insight_or_tension}}: the human truth to build on
- {{mandatory_messages}}: lines that must appear
- {{tone_or_brand_personality}}: how the brand should feel
- {{channels_and_formats}}: where the work runs
- {{budget_or_production_limits}}: what is makeable
- {{territories_wanted}}: how many routes
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then restate the brief in three lines.
- Generate {{territories_wanted}} concept territories, each genuinely different in insight, emotional register, and the role the product plays.
- Give each idea in one sentence a colleague could repeat from memory.
- Show how each stretches across at least two channels from {{channels_and_formats}}.
- Stress-test each: the biggest risk and what would have to be true for it to work.
- Rank them against {{campaign_objective}}, say which you would back, and flag anything resting on an assumption you were not given.
Output format Per territory: name, one-line idea, insight, why it fits {{target_audience}}, a headline direction, two example executions, main risk. Around 100 words each. Then a short table comparing distinctiveness, fit to the objective, and production difficulty. Plain language, no agency jargon. Leave out styling notes and media plans.
Guardrails
- Do not invent statistics, research findings, award wins, competitor campaign names, or legal claims.
- Mark assumptions clearly, separate from the brief.
- Tell the user when claims, talent rights, or regulated categories need sign-off from legal or the brand owner.
Example Brand: mid-range electric bike maker; objective: test ride bookings; audience: city commuters; territories wanted: 5.
