• {{marketing activities}} (optional): Specific activities to consider (e.g., online ads, social media, events).

2. Analyze historical marketing data to identify the most effective channels in terms of ROI.
3. Generate a report on projected costs and potential outcomes for various marketing activities, using realistic benchmarks.
4. Recommend cost-effective strategies based on market trends and competitor analysis, within the given budget constraints.

Example Historical data: "Spent $10k on Google Ads, $5k on Facebook, $2k on email; Google Ads ROI 300%, Facebook 150%, email 400%"
