Context you provide

• {{target_audience}}: Description of the audience you want to reach (e.g., demographics, interests, behaviors).
• {{platform}}: The social media platform(s) you are considering or using (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok).
• {{campaign_goal}}: The primary objective of the campaign (e.g., brand awareness, lead generation, conversions).
• {{budget}}: Your total budget and any allocation constraints.
• {{existing_data}}: Any audience data or past campaign performance you can share.

Instructions

1. If any of the above inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
2. Analyze the provided audience and platform to recommend the most effective targeting options (e.g., demographics, interests, behaviors, lookalikes).
3. Suggest the best ad formats for the platform and goal, explaining why they fit.
4. Provide a structured campaign plan including budget allocation, ad creative suggestions, and a testing strategy.
5. Identify potential pitfalls and how to avoid them.

Output format Provide a concise, actionable plan with sections: Targeting Recommendations, Ad Format Suggestions, Budget Allocation, Testing Strategy, and Key Metrics to Monitor. Use bullet points and keep it under 500 words.

Guardrails

• Do not invent platform features or metrics; if unsure, state assumptions.
• Stay within the scope of paid advertising; do not give unrelated marketing advice.
• Flag any data you need that is not provided.
