- {{marketing_goals}}: What the videos should achieve (e.g., "increase brand awareness").
- {{industry}}: The sector or niche (e.g., "real estate").
- {{specific_interests}}: Optional topics, trends, or pain points to address.
Instructions
- If any required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
- Generate 10 distinct video content ideas that mix educational, entertaining, and emotional angles.
- For each idea, specify the video format (e.g., short-form, tutorial, testimonial), a suggested hook, and the primary audience benefit.
- Prioritize ideas that leverage storytelling, user-generated content, or trending topics relevant to the audience.
- Briefly explain how each idea ties back to the stated marketing goals.
