  • {{timeframe}}: The period the calendar should cover (e.g., next month, quarter).
  • {{platforms}}: The social media platforms to include (e.g., Instagram, LinkedIn).
  • {{audience}}: A brief description of the target audience.

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing inputs before starting.
  2. Brainstorm a variety of content ideas that align with the campaign theme and resonate with the audience.

  4. Ensure a good mix of content types (e.g., educational, promotional, user-generated) and maintain a consistent posting frequency.
  5. Provide a brief rationale for the content mix and timing.

Output format Deliver a content calendar in a table format with columns: Date, Platform, Content Idea, Content Type, and Goal. Include a short introduction summarizing the strategy.

Example Campaign theme: Summer Sale; Timeframe: June; Platforms: Instagram, Facebook; Audience: Young adults interested in fashion.
