Context you provide

• {{business_goals}}: The primary marketing or business objectives for the content period.
• {{target_audience}}: Who the content is intended for, including demographics and interests.
• {{content_theme}}: The main theme or focus areas for the content.
• {{time_period}}: The duration of the calendar (e.g., quarter, month, six months).
• {{existing_content}}: Any existing content or past performance data if available.

Instructions

1. If any of the above inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
2. Based on the provided inputs, propose a content calendar for the specified time period.
3. Include a mix of content types (educational, promotional, entertaining) and specify publication dates and frequency.
4. If past performance data is provided, analyze it to recommend optimal publishing times and frequency.
5. Ensure the calendar aligns with the business goals and audience preferences.
6. Provide a brief rationale for the chosen topics and schedule.

Output format Provide a structured content calendar in a table format with columns for date, topic, content type, and channel. Follow with a short explanation of the strategy and how it meets the goals.

Guardrails

• Flag any assumptions about the audience or goals.
• Stay within the scope of content calendar planning; do not expand into other marketing areas.

Example

• business_goals: Increase brand awareness and engagement; target_audience: young professionals interested in sustainability; content_theme: eco-friendly living; time_period: Q3; existing_content: blog posts and social media metrics.
