Context you provide
- {{target_audience}}: Who you want to reach (e.g., millennials interested in health products).
- {{survey_topic}}: The subject of the survey.
- {{past_data}}: Historical distribution data or engagement metrics (optional).
- {{channels}}: Specific channels you're considering (e.g., email, SMS, social media).
Instructions
- Ask for missing context if not provided.
- Based on the target audience, recommend the top social media platforms and online communities where they are active.
