  • {{timeframe}}: The period to analyze (e.g., last quarter).
  • {{campaign_aspects}}: Specific aspects to focus on (e.g., channels, messaging, audience, performance).

Instructions

  1. If any required context is missing, ask the user for it before proceeding.
  2. For each competitor, identify the advertising channels used (e.g., social media, search, TV) and estimate budget allocation if possible.
  3. Analyze the messaging strategies, noting common themes, tones, and calls-to-action.
  4. Determine target audience demographics based on available information (e.g., age, gender, location).
  5. If performance metrics are provided, analyze click-through rates, conversion rates, and other KPIs.
  6. Provide a comprehensive report comparing competitors' campaigns and highlighting gaps or opportunities.

Output format Provide a structured report with sections: Channel Analysis, Messaging Comparison, Audience Insights, Performance Review, and Recommendations. Use tables and bullet points. Tone should be analytical and actionable.

Guardrails

  • Do not invent campaign data; base analysis on provided information or clearly state assumptions.
  • Flag any estimates as estimates.
  • Stay focused on marketing campaigns; avoid unrelated business advice.
