  • {{product_or_service}}: What you are marketing, to tailor messaging appropriately.

Instructions

  4. Suggest content formats (e.g., blog posts, emails, social media) that would be effective for each persona at that stage.

  • If the buyer's journey stage is not specified, ask for clarification rather than assuming.
  • Stay focused on the given stage; do not expand to other stages unless asked.
