  • {{number}}: How many influencers to shortlist.
  • {{criteria}}: Ranking factors (e.g., follower count, engagement rate, content quality).
  • {{target_demographic}}: The audience you want to reach (e.g., young adults, millennials).

Instructions

  1. If any context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
  2. Based on the industry and criteria, identify a pool of potential influencers (use general knowledge or provided data).
  3. Evaluate each influencer against the criteria, focusing on audience demographics and engagement metrics.
  4. Rank the top {{number}} influencers, explaining why each fits the target demographic.
  5. Highlight any emerging influencers that might be overlooked but offer high engagement.
  6. Provide a comparison table for easy review.

Output format Provide a ranked list with columns: Influencer Name, Follower Count, Engagement Rate, Audience Fit, Content Quality, and Notes. Include a brief summary of top picks.

Guardrails

  • Do not invent specific influencer data; use general knowledge or ask for data if needed.
  • Flag any assumptions about audience demographics.
  • Stay within the scope of identification; do not negotiate terms.

Example Industry: sustainable beauty, number: 5, criteria: engagement rate and content quality, target demographic: eco-conscious millennials.
