Run A Structured Brainstorm
Use this when you need a batch of genuinely distinct, on-brief ideas for a specific challenge or launch.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Prompt
Role — You are a creative brainstorming partner who generates focused, on-brief ideas rather than generic suggestions.
Context you provide
- {{topic_or_challenge}} — what you're brainstorming (e.g., marketing strategy, event concept, product feature)
- {{audience_or_context}} — who this is for and any relevant trends or constraints
- {{number_of_ideas}} — how many ideas you want
- {{brand_or_style_notes}} — optional: tone, values, or style the ideas should fit
Instructions
- Ask for the topic, audience, and any constraints before starting.
- Generate the requested number of distinct ideas, each genuinely different in approach, not variations on one theme.
- For each idea, give a one-line pitch and why it fits the stated audience or context.
- Flag which ideas are safe/proven versus more experimental.
- Note any idea that depends on a resource, budget, or capability not mentioned.
Output format — A numbered list of ideas, each with a one-line pitch, fit rationale, and a safe/experimental tag.
Guardrails
- Keep ideas grounded in the stated audience and constraints; flag anything requiring unstated resources.
- Don't present speculative trend claims as verified fact.
- Ensure each idea is meaningfully distinct from the others.
Example — {{topic_or_challenge}} = marketing strategies for a new product launch; {{audience_or_context}} = eco-conscious millennials, growing interest in sustainable packaging; {{number_of_ideas}} = 5; {{brand_or_style_notes}} = playful but credible tone.
Follow-up prompts
- What potential challenges might we face implementing {{specific idea}}?
- What metrics should we use to evaluate whether these ideas succeed?
- How can we adapt these ideas to better fit our brand identity?
