- {{current_messaging}}: Examples of current brand messaging or a summary of key messages.
- {{competitors}}: Names of key competitors or examples of their messaging.
- {{customer_feedback}}: Any customer feedback, reviews, or survey results relevant to brand perception.

Output format Provide a structured report with sections: Executive Summary, Channel Analysis, Competitive Comparison, Customer Feedback Insights, Improvement Areas, and Recommended KPIs. Use bullet points and tables where helpful. Keep the tone professional and objective.
Guardrails
