Full prompt and why it works
Prompt
Background: Campaign (name, goal, dates, channels, budget): {{campaign}} What success was defined as before launch: {{targets}} Who reads this and what they care about: {{manager}} The decision or next campaign this should inform: {{next_decision}} The results by channel (spend, reach, clicks, leads, sales, whatever we track), with where each number comes from: """ {{results}} """ What happened during the campaign (changes we made, problems, outside events): """ {{context}} """ Task: Write a short readout of the campaign's results for my manager, under 300 words plus one table. Use these headings: 1. Bottom line: one or two sentences on whether we hit the target, with the main number. 2. Results against target: a table with the columns Measure, Target, Actual, Difference. Add the previous comparable campaign only if the results include it. 3. What worked and what did not: two or three points each, tied to numbers. 4. Why: our best explanation, labeled "likely" or "possible", kept apart from what the numbers show. 5. Next time: three specific changes, each tied to a finding. 6. Decision needed: what I am asking for, if anything. Rules: - Judge the campaign against the targets set before launch. Do not swap in a different measure because it looks better. - Show the arithmetic for any rate or cost per result you calculate, and check that the numbers add up. - Put business results (leads, sales, revenue) ahead of reach and likes. - Where the numbers are small, say the result points in a direction rather than proves anything. - Report misses plainly. A manager trusts a readout that admits what did not work. Example of a "Why" line, for form only: "Likely: the email outperformed because it went to past buyers, while the ads reached people new to us." If a number is missing, or two sources disagree (for example the ad platform and our sales records), say so in the table rather than picking one or filling the gap.
Variables
- {{campaign}}
- The campaign's name, goal, dates, channels and budget.
- {{targets}}
- What you said success would be before launch, for example "150 leads at under $40 each".
- {{manager}}
- Who reads it and what they care about most, for example "my manager, who watches cost per lead".
- {{next_decision}}
- What this should inform, for example "whether to rerun it in spring with the same budget".
- {{results}}
- The numbers by channel, with the source of each (ad platform, email tool, CRM, sales records).
- {{context}}
- What happened during the campaign: changes, problems, outside events. Write "nothing notable" if so.
Why it works
- What good looks like. Results are judged against the targets set before launch, with business results ahead of likes, so the readout cannot quietly move the goalposts.
- Format. Bottom line first, then a target-against-actual table, then reasons and changes: the order a manager reads in when they have two minutes.
- If unsure. Missing numbers and sources that disagree are shown as such, and causes are labeled likely or possible rather than stated as fact.
