The CONTEXT Framework™ for Marketers
Marketing lives and dies by the quality of its copy. Vague prompts produce generic content that sounds like every other brand. The CONTEXT Framework gives marketers a repeatable system for producing AI-assisted content that actually sounds like your brand, speaks to your audience, and drives the metrics that matter.
10 marketing prompts · Full CONTEXT breakdowns · Before & after comparisons
Blog post for thought leadership
I am the content marketing manager at a B2B cybersecurity firm with 200 employees. Our target audience is IT directors at mid-market companies (500-2,000 employees). We publish weekly on our company blog and our best-performing posts address specific compliance challenges.
Write a 1,200-word blog post about why most companies fail their first SOC 2 audit and what they should do differently.
Lead with a surprising statistic about SOC 2 failure rates. Avoid fear-mongering; position failures as learning opportunities. Do not mention any specific competitors. Include 3 actionable steps readers can take immediately. Work in the keyword 'SOC 2 audit preparation' naturally at least 3 times.
Authoritative but approachable. The voice of a trusted adviser who has seen this mistake a hundred times and genuinely wants to help.
Our highest-performing blog post opened with: 'Last year, 340 of our clients attempted SOC 2 certification for the first time. Nearly half failed. Here is the pattern we saw.' Match this structure: bold opening stat, diagnosis, then actionable advice.
1,200 words. Structure: compelling headline (under 65 characters for SEO), opening hook paragraph, 3 main sections with H2 subheadings, actionable checklist at the end, and a CTA to download our SOC 2 readiness template. Use short paragraphs (2-3 sentences max).
“Write a blog post about SOC 2 audits.”
A 1,200-word SEO-optimised thought leadership post with a data-driven hook, three actionable sections, and a template download CTA that positions the company as the go-to SOC 2 authority.
Social media campaign for product launch
I am the social media lead at a DTC skincare brand targeting women aged 25-40. We are launching a new vitamin C serum. Our Instagram has 85K followers and our engagement rate is 3.2%. Our brand is known for transparency about ingredients and no-BS marketing.
Create a 5-post Instagram launch sequence: teaser (5 days before), ingredient spotlight (3 days before), founder story (1 day before), launch day, and user proof (2 days after).
Do not use the word 'revolutionary' or 'game-changing.' Lead with the specific problem this serum solves (dull, uneven skin tone). Mention the 3-month clinical trial we ran with 120 participants. Avoid making any medical or dermatological claims. Each post must work without reading the others.
Confident, warm, and science-backed. Like your smart friend who also happens to be a chemist. No hype, no ALL CAPS, no excessive emojis.
Our best-performing post style: 'We spent 14 months formulating this. Not because we are slow, but because we reformulated 6 times until the clinical results matched our standards.' This mix of transparency and standards-setting consistently drives engagement.
5 posts. Each post: caption (120-180 words), 3 suggested hashtags, and a one-line image direction note. Format captions with line breaks for readability. Include a CTA in each post.
“Write some Instagram posts for our new serum launch.”
A five-part Instagram sequence with ingredient-led storytelling, clinical proof points, and caption formatting optimised for engagement, all in a no-hype brand voice.
Email campaign for re-engagement
I am the email marketing manager at a SaaS project management tool. We have 8,000 users who signed up in the last 6 months but have not logged in for 30+ days. Our data shows the top 3 reasons for churn are: complexity, not seeing value fast enough, and forgetting about the tool.
Write a 3-email re-engagement sequence sent over 10 days to bring inactive users back.
Do not guilt-trip users for not logging in. Address each churn reason in a separate email. Email 1 should show the simplest valuable feature. Email 2 should share a customer success story. Email 3 should offer a free 15-minute onboarding call as a last resort. Include an unsubscribe option that feels respectful, not passive-aggressive.
Helpful and low-pressure. Like a colleague who notices you haven't tried the new tool and offers to show you the one feature you would actually use.
Subject line style that has worked: 'The 2-minute trick that saved Sarah 4 hours a week' — benefit-led, specific, personal story.
3 emails. Each: subject line, preview text (under 90 chars), body (100-150 words), single CTA button text. Space them: Day 1, Day 5, Day 10. No images; text-only for deliverability.
“Write some re-engagement emails for churned users.”
A three-email recovery sequence addressing specific churn reasons, progressing from self-serve value to personal support, with text-only formatting for maximum deliverability.
Ad copy for paid social
I am the performance marketing manager at an online course platform. We are running Facebook and Instagram ads targeting small business owners (1-20 employees) who want to learn AI. Our cost per acquisition target is under 25 GBP. Our best-performing ads have been short, direct, and problem-first.
Write 5 variations of ad copy for a campaign promoting our free AI fundamentals course.
Lead with the pain point (falling behind on AI), not the solution (our course). Avoid jargon like 'upskill' or 'digital transformation.' Each variation should test a different hook: fear of missing out, time savings, competitive advantage, simplicity, and social proof. The course is genuinely free with no upsell, so lean into that.
Direct, honest, slightly urgent but not desperate. The tone of someone who has found something valuable and wants to share it.
Our best-performing ad: 'Your competitors are using AI. You are reading about it. There is a free course that takes 2 hours to close that gap. No credit card. No upsell. Just the fundamentals you need.' — 1.8% CTR, 18 GBP CPA.
5 ad variations. Each: headline (under 40 chars), primary text (80-125 words), CTA button text, and a note on which hook it tests. Optimise for Facebook/Instagram feed placement.
“Write Facebook ads for our AI course.”
Five ad variations testing distinct psychological hooks, each with specific character counts, CTA text, and performance-optimised formatting for social feed placement.
SEO content for a pillar page
I am the SEO lead at a HR technology company. We sell employee engagement software. Our domain authority is 42 and we currently rank on page 2 for 'employee engagement strategies.' We have 15 existing blog posts about engagement that we can internally link to from a new pillar page.
Write a 2,500-word pillar page on 'Employee Engagement Strategies' designed to rank on page 1 and serve as the hub for our engagement content cluster.
Target the primary keyword 'employee engagement strategies' and secondary keywords 'how to improve employee engagement' and 'employee engagement ideas.' Include a table of contents with jump links. Reference recent data (2024-2025 Gallup engagement statistics). Do not mention competitor products. Include at least 5 natural internal link opportunities to our existing blog posts.
Expert, comprehensive, and scannable. This is a reference resource that HR professionals will bookmark, not a quick blog post.
Section format: H2 heading with keyword variation, 200-300 word section, practical example or statistic, and a callout box with a key takeaway. Similar to HubSpot's pillar page structure.
2,500 words. Structure: H1 title (under 60 chars), meta description (155 chars), table of contents, 8-10 H2 sections, FAQ section with schema markup, and a CTA to our engagement platform demo. Use short paragraphs and bulleted lists for scannability.
“Write a page about employee engagement strategies.”
A 2,500-word SEO pillar page with keyword targeting, internal linking strategy, FAQ schema, scannable formatting, and a content cluster architecture designed for page 1 ranking.
Competitor analysis brief
I am the head of marketing at a mid-size accounting software company. We compete with Xero and QuickBooks in the UK SME market. Our differentiator is industry-specific features for construction and trades companies. Our board meeting is in 2 weeks and the CEO wants a competitive positioning update.
Create a competitor analysis comparing our marketing positioning, messaging, and content strategy against Xero and QuickBooks for the UK construction SME segment.
Focus on how competitors are messaging to construction and trades specifically, not their general SME positioning. Analyse their landing pages, ad copy, and case studies for this vertical. Identify gaps in their messaging that we can exploit. Be honest about where they are ahead of us.
Strategic and candid. This is an internal document, not a marketing piece. Call out both threats and opportunities plainly.
Competitor messaging comparison format: 'Xero says: [their headline/claim]. What they mean: [decoded positioning]. Our opportunity: [gap or counter-position we can own].'
1,000-1,200 words. Structure: Executive Summary (100 words), Positioning Map (describe a 2x2 matrix), Competitor-by-competitor analysis (300 words each), Messaging Gaps We Can Own (3-5 bullets), and Recommended Actions (numbered list). Include direct quotes from competitor websites.
“Write a competitor analysis of Xero and QuickBooks.”
A board-ready competitive positioning analysis with decoded competitor messaging, a positioning map, specific gap analysis for the construction vertical, and actionable counter-positioning recommendations.
Brand messaging framework
I am the brand director at a fintech startup that just raised Series A. We offer instant invoice financing for freelancers and small agencies. Our current messaging is inconsistent across channels — the website says one thing, sales decks say another, and social media is a third voice. We have 12 team members who create content.
Create a brand messaging framework that gives every team member a consistent vocabulary and hierarchy of messages to use.
Our core differentiator is speed (funds in 24 hours) and simplicity (no paperwork, no credit checks on the freelancer). Avoid financial jargon. Do not position us as a lender; we are a 'cash flow tool.' The framework must work for sales calls, website copy, social media, investor updates, and PR. Include messages we must never say (e.g., never call our users 'borrowers').
Clear, definitive, and practical. This is an internal reference document that needs to be instantly usable, not a brand essay.
Message hierarchy example: 'Level 1 (brand promise, 10 words): [statement]. Level 2 (elevator pitch, 30 words): [paragraph]. Level 3 (proof points, 3 bullets): [supporting facts].'
Structure: Brand Promise (one sentence), Elevator Pitch (30 words), 3 Key Messages (each with headline, supporting copy, and proof point), Audience-Specific Variations (freelancers vs agencies vs investors), Vocabulary Guide (5 'always say' and 5 'never say' terms), and Tone Guidelines (3 adjectives with examples). Total: 800-1,000 words.
“Help us define our brand messaging.”
A complete messaging framework with hierarchical messages, audience variations, vocabulary rules, and tone guidelines that 12 team members can use to speak with one consistent voice.
Press release for a partnership
I am the PR manager at an edtech company that creates AI literacy courses for universities. We just signed a partnership with a Russell Group university to integrate our AI curriculum into their business school programme. This is our first top-tier university partnership and we want it to generate media coverage and inbound enquiries from other universities.
Write a press release announcing the partnership that is optimised for both journalist pickup and SEO.
Lead with the university's perspective and the problem they are solving (preparing business students for AI), not with our product. Include a quote from both our CEO and the university's dean. Avoid edtech buzzwords like 'revolutionise education' or 'disrupt learning.' Include specific numbers: number of students affected, programme start date, and curriculum scope. Make it easy for journalists to extract a headline.
Newsworthy and factual. Written in AP style. The tone of a credible announcement, not a marketing puff piece.
Opening paragraph format: '[City, Date] — [University name] has selected [Company name] to deliver AI literacy training to [number] students across its business school, beginning [date]. The partnership marks the first integration of structured AI curriculum into a Russell Group MBA programme.'
500-600 words. Structure: headline (under 80 chars), subheadline, dateline + lead paragraph, 2 body paragraphs, CEO quote, dean quote, 'About [Company]' boilerplate (50 words), and media contact details. Include 3 SEO keywords naturally. Format per AP style guide.
“Write a press release about our university partnership.”
An AP-style press release with a journalist-ready headline, dual quotes, specific numbers, and SEO keywords, designed to generate media pickup and inbound university enquiries.
Case study for the website
I am the content strategist at a marketing automation company. One of our clients, a 50-person e-commerce brand, increased their email revenue by 140% in 6 months using our platform. The client has agreed to be named. Our case studies are our highest-converting sales asset — 23% of closed deals read at least one case study during the sales cycle.
Write a case study page for our website that tells the client's story and makes prospects think 'I want results like that.'
Structure as a narrative, not a template. Lead with the result (140% increase), then go back to the problem. Include specific metrics at each stage: before metrics, during implementation, and after results. Mention the challenges during implementation honestly (it took 3 weeks longer than planned). Include a direct quote from the client's CMO. Do not make it read like an ad for our product.
Story-driven, credible, and results-focused. The tone of a documentary, not a commercial. Let the numbers do the selling.
Opening style: 'When [Client]'s marketing team realised they were leaving 200K in annual email revenue on the table, they did not need more campaigns. They needed smarter ones.'
800-1,000 words. Structure: Hero section (result + client logo), Challenge (200 words), Solution (250 words), Implementation (150 words, including the honest setback), Results (200 words with 4 specific metrics), Client Quote (pull quote format), and CTA (book a demo). Include a sidebar with key metrics.
“Write a case study about our e-commerce client.”
A narrative-driven case study with a results-first hook, honest implementation detail, four quantified outcomes, and a documentary tone that builds credibility without sounding like an ad.
Landing page for a lead magnet
I am the growth marketing manager at a B2B SaaS company selling sales enablement tools. We created a free 'AI Sales Playbook' PDF to generate leads. Our target audience is sales managers and VPs of Sales at companies with 50-500 employees. Our current landing page converts at 12% and we want to beat that with a rewrite.
Write the landing page copy for the AI Sales Playbook download page. The page must convert visitors into leads by collecting name and email in exchange for the PDF.
The playbook contains 15 AI prompt templates for sales scenarios. Lead with the problem (sales reps spend 60% of their time on non-selling activities) and position the playbook as the solution. Include 3 bullet points showing what is inside. Add a social proof element (downloaded by X sales teams). Do not ask for phone number or company name — just name and email to maximise conversion.
Compelling but not pushy. The confidence of someone offering something genuinely valuable for free.
Headline style we are testing: 'Your Sales Reps Spend 60% of Their Time Not Selling. This Playbook Fixes That.' — problem-first, specific number, clear promise.
Structure: Headline (under 12 words), subheadline (20-25 words), 3 benefit bullets (each under 15 words), social proof line, form with 2 fields (name, email), CTA button text, and 1-sentence privacy assurance below the form. Total copy: 150-200 words. Design for above-the-fold conversion on desktop.
“Write copy for our ebook landing page.”
A conversion-optimised landing page with a problem-first headline, three scannable benefit bullets, social proof, and a minimal two-field form designed to beat the current 12% conversion rate.
