AI Prompts for Agencies

Agencies operate under constant time pressure — juggling multiple clients, tight deadlines, and the need for consistently high-quality deliverables. AI prompts built specifically for agency workflows can dramatically reduce the time spent on first drafts, research, and routine documentation. Client proposal prompts should include the prospect's industry, their stated challenges, your agency's relevant case studies and results, the proposed scope of work, and the desired proposal structure. The best proposal prompts produce output that reads like it was written by a senior strategist, not a language model — specify the level of specificity, include real data points, and instruct the model to weave in your agency's unique methodology or framework.

Creative brief prompts should capture the brand guidelines, campaign objectives, target audience demographics and psychographics, key messaging pillars, mandatory inclusions (legal disclaimers, brand assets), and competitive context. Ask the model to produce a brief that a creative team can immediately act on — not vague strategy language, but specific direction on tone, visual style, messaging hierarchy, and deliverable specifications. For project scoping, provide the client requirements and ask for a work breakdown structure with estimated hours by task, dependencies, milestones, and risk factors. This turns a half-day scoping exercise into a 15-minute refinement session.

Campaign reporting prompts save hours every month. Feed in raw performance data (impressions, clicks, conversions, spend) and ask for a client-facing narrative that explains what happened, why it happened, and what you recommend next. Specify the client's sophistication level — a CMO wants strategic insights, while a small business owner wants plain language and clear ROI numbers. Agency teams that build shared prompt libraries per client — with brand voice, key metrics, and reporting templates baked in — compound their efficiency as engagements mature. New team members can produce on-brand work immediately, and institutional knowledge lives in the prompts rather than in individual heads.

Client Brief Template

Create a comprehensive client brief for {{client_name}} in the {{client_industry}} industry.

Project type: {{project_type}} (e.g., brand refresh, campaign launch, website redesign)
Client contact: {{contact_name}}, {{contact_role}}
Budget range: {{budget_range}}
Timeline: {{timeline}}

Structure the brief:

1. **Business Context** — What does {{client_name}} do? Who are their customers? What's their market position? Revenue range: {{revenue_range}}.

2. **Challenge / Opportunity** — What problem are we solving or opportunity are we capturing? Be specific: "{{stated_challenge}}"

3. **Objectives** — 3-5 measurable goals this project must achieve. Tie each to a business outcome, not a deliverable.

4. **Target Audience** — Primary and secondary audiences with demographics, psychographics, pain points, and media consumption habits.

5. **Competitive Context** — Key competitors: {{competitors}}. What are they doing well? Where's the whitespace?

6. **Brand Guidelines** — Voice: {{brand_voice}}. Visual identity constraints: {{visual_constraints}}. Mandatory elements: {{mandatory_elements}}.

7. **Deliverables & Scope** — Exhaustive list of what we're producing, with specs (dimensions, formats, word counts).

8. **Success Metrics** — How will we measure whether this project worked? Define KPIs and measurement timeline.

Write this so a creative team member with zero context on the client can read it and start producing work immediately.
client_nameclient_industryproject_typecontact_namecontact_rolebudget_rangetimelinerevenue_rangestated_challengecompetitorsbrand_voicevisual_constraintsmandatory_elements

Why it works: The "zero context team member" instruction forces comprehensive documentation. Most client briefs fail because they assume shared knowledge. This prompt captures everything a creative team needs, reducing revision cycles caused by missing context.

Creative Concept Development

Develop {{concept_count}} creative concepts for {{client_name}}'s {{campaign_type}} campaign.

Brief summary: {{brief_summary}}
Target audience: {{target_audience}}
Key message: {{key_message}}
Tone: {{desired_tone}}
Media channels: {{channels}}
Budget tier: {{budget_tier}} (low / mid / high production)
Constraints: {{constraints}}

For each concept, provide:

1. **Concept Name** — A memorable internal working title

2. **The Big Idea** — One sentence that captures the concept. If you can't say it in one sentence, it's not clear enough.

3. **Insight** — The human truth or cultural tension this concept taps into

4. **Execution Overview** — How this plays out across {{channels}}. Be specific about the hero asset and supporting touchpoints.

5. **Visual Direction** — Mood, color palette, typography feel, reference imagery description

6. **Copy Direction** — Headline approach, tagline options (3 per concept), body copy tone

7. **Why It Works for {{client_name}}** — How this concept reinforces their brand and achieves the campaign objectives

8. **Risk Factor** — What could go wrong with this concept and how to mitigate it

Present the concepts in order from safest to boldest. The client always picks from a range.
concept_countclient_namecampaign_typebrief_summarytarget_audiencekey_messagedesired_tonechannelsbudget_tierconstraints

Why it works: Structuring concepts from safest to boldest mirrors how creative directors actually present to clients. The "one sentence big idea" constraint ensures concepts are sharp, and the risk factor section builds trust by showing strategic foresight.

Campaign Strategy Document

Write a campaign strategy document for {{client_name}}'s {{campaign_name}} campaign.

Objective: {{campaign_objective}}
KPIs: {{kpis}}
Budget: {{total_budget}}
Duration: {{campaign_duration}}
Target audience: {{target_audience}}
Key competitors running similar campaigns: {{competitor_campaigns}}

Structure:

1. **Situation Analysis** — Where does {{client_name}} stand today? What market conditions, trends, or events create the opportunity for this campaign?

2. **Strategic Approach** — The overarching strategy in 2-3 sentences. What's our theory of change — why will this approach move the needle?

3. **Audience Strategy** — Segmentation: break {{target_audience}} into 2-3 actionable segments. For each: messaging angle, preferred channels, and estimated reach.

4. **Channel Plan** — For each channel ({{channels}}):
   - Role in the funnel (awareness / consideration / conversion)
   - Budget allocation (% of {{total_budget}})
   - Key tactics and ad formats
   - Estimated CPM/CPC/CPA benchmarks

5. **Content & Creative Requirements** — What assets do we need? Specs, quantities, and production timeline.

6. **Media Flight Plan** — Phase the campaign: Launch (weeks 1-{{launch_phase}}), Sustain (weeks {{sustain_start}}-{{sustain_end}}), Optimize (ongoing). What changes between phases?

7. **Measurement Framework** — How we'll track {{kpis}}, reporting cadence, optimization triggers (what performance signal triggers what action).

Write for an audience of: the client's marketing director and our internal media team.
client_namecampaign_namecampaign_objectivekpistotal_budgetcampaign_durationtarget_audiencecompetitor_campaignschannelslaunch_phasesustain_startsustain_end

Why it works: Specifying two audiences (client marketing director + internal media team) produces a document that balances strategic narrative with tactical specificity. The optimization triggers in the measurement framework make the plan adaptive rather than set-and-forget.

Client Reporting Narrative

Write a monthly performance report narrative for {{client_name}}'s {{campaign_or_account}} for {{reporting_period}}.

Performance data:
- Impressions: {{impressions}} ({{impressions_change}} vs. prior period)
- Clicks: {{clicks}} ({{clicks_change}})
- CTR: {{ctr}} ({{ctr_change}})
- Conversions: {{conversions}} ({{conversions_change}})
- Cost: {{spend}} ({{spend_change}})
- CPA: {{cpa}} ({{cpa_change}})
- Revenue/Value generated: {{revenue}} ({{revenue_change}})
- ROAS: {{roas}}

Additional context: {{additional_context}}
What we changed this period: {{changes_made}}
Client sophistication level: {{client_level}} (CMO / marketing manager / small business owner)

Structure:
1. **Executive Summary** — 3-4 sentences: What happened, why, and what we recommend. Lead with the most important number.

2. **Key Wins** — 2-3 highlights with specific data points. Frame in terms of business impact, not vanity metrics.

3. **Challenges & Learnings** — What underperformed and why? What did we learn? Be honest — clients respect candor.

4. **What We Changed** — Actions taken this period and early results.

5. **Recommendations for Next Period** — 3-5 specific, prioritized actions with expected impact.

Adjust language complexity for a {{client_level}} audience. No jargon for small business owners; strategic framing for CMOs.
client_namecampaign_or_accountreporting_periodimpressionsimpressions_changeclicksclicks_changectrctr_changeconversionsconversions_changespendspend_changecpacpa_changerevenuerevenue_changeroasadditional_contextchanges_madeclient_level

Why it works: The client sophistication level toggle is the key differentiator. A report for a CMO should be completely different from one for a small business owner. Requiring honesty about challenges prevents the credibility-killing practice of spinning bad numbers.

Pitch Deck Script

Write a pitch deck script for {{agency_name}} pitching {{prospect_name}} for their {{project_scope}} project.

About us: {{agency_description}}
Our relevant experience: {{relevant_case_studies}}
Prospect's challenge: {{prospect_challenge}}
Prospect's industry: {{prospect_industry}}
Estimated budget: {{estimated_budget}}
Decision makers in the room: {{audience_roles}}
Competing agencies: {{competing_agencies}}

Write the narrative for each slide:

**Slide 1 — Hook** (30 seconds)
Open with a provocative insight about {{prospect_industry}} that demonstrates we understand their world. Not "about us."

**Slide 2 — The Challenge** (60 seconds)
Reframe {{prospect_challenge}} in a way that shows deeper understanding than the brief. Add a dimension they haven't considered.

**Slide 3 — Our Approach** (90 seconds)
Our strategic framework for solving this. Make it feel proprietary and specific, not generic.

**Slide 4 — The Idea** (120 seconds)
Our proposed creative/strategic solution. This is the centerpiece — make it vivid and memorable.

**Slide 5 — Proof** (60 seconds)
Case studies: {{relevant_case_studies}}. Focus on results, not process.

**Slide 6 — How We Work** (45 seconds)
Team structure, process, communication cadence. Address the unspoken question: "What's it like to work with you?"

**Slide 7 — Investment & Timeline** (30 seconds)
Budget framework and phased timeline. Don't apologize for pricing.

**Slide 8 — Why Us** (30 seconds)
Close with one compelling reason to choose {{agency_name}} over {{competing_agencies}}.

For each slide: speaker notes (what to say), key visual recommendation, and transition line to the next slide.
agency_nameprospect_nameproject_scopeagency_descriptionrelevant_case_studiesprospect_challengeprospect_industryestimated_budgetaudience_rolescompeting_agencies

Why it works: Opening with an industry insight instead of an "about us" slide immediately differentiates from every other agency in the pitch. Timing each slide and including transition lines produces a rehearsable script, not just a document.

Content Calendar Generator

Create a {{duration}}-week content calendar for {{client_name}} across {{platforms}}.

Brand voice: {{brand_voice}}
Content pillars: {{content_pillars}}
Posting frequency: {{posting_frequency}} per platform per week
Upcoming events/dates: {{key_dates}}
Products/services to promote: {{products_to_promote}}
Audience: {{target_audience}}
Competitor content gaps: {{competitor_gaps}}

For each week, provide:

| Day | Platform | Content Type | Topic/Hook | Caption Draft | CTA | Hashtags/Keywords | Visual Direction |
|-----|----------|-------------|------------|---------------|-----|-------------------|-----------------|

Content mix rules:
- {{pillar_ratio}} (e.g., 40% educational, 30% entertaining, 20% promotional, 10% community)
- No more than 2 promotional posts in a row
- Every week includes at least 1 engagement-driving post (poll, question, UGC repost)
- Tie {{key_dates}} to relevant content naturally — don't force it

Also provide:
1. **Monthly theme** — The overarching narrative connecting this month's content
2. **Repurposing plan** — Which pieces can be repurposed across platforms and how
3. **Performance tracking** — Which 3 posts are we testing hypotheses with, and what are those hypotheses?

Write actual caption drafts, not placeholders. Each caption should be ready to post with minor edits.
durationclient_nameplatformsbrand_voicecontent_pillarsposting_frequencykey_datesproducts_to_promotetarget_audiencecompetitor_gapspillar_ratio

Why it works: The content mix rules and "no more than 2 promotional posts in a row" constraint prevent the AI from creating a calendar that's just a sales pitch. Requiring actual caption drafts instead of topic placeholders makes this immediately usable.
