Context you provide

• {{brand}} — your brand name and industry.
• {{platforms}} — the social media platforms you focus on (e.g., TikTok, YouTube, Instagram).
• {{goals}} — what you want to achieve (e.g., increase reach, improve sentiment).

Instructions

1. If the brand or platforms are not specified, ask for them.
2. Identify current trending topics, hashtags, and challenges relevant to the brand and platforms.
3. For each trend, explain how the brand can authentically participate to increase visibility.
4. Identify rising influencers and suggest potential collaboration angles.
5. Analyze public sentiment around the brand and recommend constructive responses to negative trends.
