Output format Deliver a structured competitive marketing analysis with headings: Messaging & Tone, Social Media Performance, SEO & Content, Email & Engagement, and Recommended Moves. Use bullets and one comparison table if useful. Be specific and pragmatic.

- Keep recommendations within the stated marketing goal.
