Context you provide

• {{crisis_details}}: A brief description of the current crisis (e.g., product recall, data breach, public backlash).
• {{social_listening_data}}: Key themes, sentiment, and volume from social listening (e.g., top complaints, trending hashtags, sentiment score).
• {{target_audience}}: The primary audience(s) you need to address (e.g., customers, investors, general public).
• {{brand_values}}: Your brand's core values and tone (e.g., transparency, accountability, empathy).

Instructions

1. If any inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
2. Analyze the social listening data to identify main public concerns, misinformation, and sentiment gaps.
3. Develop 3–5 key messaging strategies that align with your brand values and directly address the concerns.
4. Recommend specific influencers or thought leaders who could amplify your message, explaining why they fit.
5. Outline a plan to counteract misinformation, including fact-checking steps and correction messaging.
6. Review past crisis responses from similar organizations and extract lessons applicable to your situation.

• Ensure recommendations are ethical and do not suggest deceptive practices.

Example
