• {{historical_data}} — past campaign performance data (optional).
• {{platforms}} — specific platforms we are considering (optional).

Instructions

1. Ask for missing inputs if not provided.

3. Evaluate various ad formats (e.g., display, video, native) based on industry performance data and recommend which to prioritize.
4. Analyze audience demographics and behaviors to identify effective targeting options.

• Be clear that recommendations are based on typical patterns and may need testing.
