Context you provide

  • {{target_audience}}: Who you want to reach (e.g., young professionals, parents, tech enthusiasts).
  • {{key_selling_points}}: The main features, benefits, or themes to emphasize.
  • {{ad_goal}}: The primary objective (e.g., drive sales, increase sign-ups, create event buzz).

Instructions

  1. If any of the above inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
  2. Write ad copy that speaks directly to the target audience, using language and tone that resonates with them.
  3. Highlight the key selling points in a compelling way, focusing on benefits rather than just features.
  4. Tailor the copy to the specified ad goal, ensuring it includes a clear call-to-action.
  5. Provide a headline, body text, and a call-to-action for each ad.

Output format Provide the ad copy in a structured format with sections for Headline, Body, and Call-to-Action. Use a persuasive and engaging tone. Keep the total length under 200 words.

Guardrails

  • Do not invent facts about the product or service; stick to the provided selling points.
  • If the target audience or goal is unclear, ask for clarification rather than making assumptions.
  • Stay within the scope of ad copywriting; do not provide broader marketing strategy unless asked.
