Ad Campaigns with AI: Audiences, Creative, Reporting
12 prompts from this guide. Fill in whatever sits in [square brackets] — your own context, the document text or the name of your tool. That context is exactly what separates a generic answer from a usable one.
The cascade: from goal to format on a single page
I'm setting up a paid ad campaign and I want a brief, not ad copy. What I'm selling: [product/service, for whom, how it differs from the competition] Price and margin: [what a customer is worth to me] Campaign goal: [get leads / sell / be seen] Budget and duration: [e.g. 20,000 Kč over 4 weeks] Where I'll be advertising: [platform] What I already know about customers: [briefly] Build the brief in this order: 1. The goal translated into one measurable number and its limit (how much a single result is allowed to cost) — show the math. 2. Three to four distinct audiences who might respond. For each: what's different about the situation they're in, not demographics. 3. One message per audience — one sentence describing what it solves for them. 4. Only then the format: what type of ad fits that message and why (static image, video, carousel, text-only). 5. What has to be ready on the website for the campaign to make sense (where people land, what they do there, how I'll know). At the end, list which inputs I didn't give you and without which the brief is just a guess. Don't fill them in yourself.
Mining customer language
Below are [40] anonymized reviews and questions I received over the past year about [product/service]. [paste the text] Go through them and return six lists. For EVERY item, give the exact quote from the source it's based on, and how many times the theme appeared: 1. Pains — how people describe their problem in their own words 2. Wants — what they want once the problem is gone 3. Objections and concerns before buying 4. What ultimately convinced them (from satisfied-customer reviews) 5. Disappointments — what they expected and didn't get 6. Words and phrases they use that I don't (their vocabulary versus my marketing vocabulary) Don't summarize and don't add anything from general knowledge about the industry. When you see a theme only once, say so — I want to know what's a pattern and what's a one-off.
A persona built on evidence
Here are the findings from analyzing my reviews and customer questions [paste the output from the previous step] and my interview notes [paste]. Build 3 personas. For each: - The situation they're in when they encounter the offer (what just happened, what pushed them to look for a solution) — this is the most important field - How they describe their problem, in their own words - What they already tried and why it didn't work - What they're afraid of when buying and what they need to see to believe it - Where they'd realistically run into this ad Back every claim with a quote from the source material; for a claim with no support, write UNSUPPORTED and leave it as an open question. Only include demographics where the source material actually shows it — don't invent age, income, or hobbies. The personas must differ by situation, not just by name.
Objection map
Objections and concerns from reviews and questions: [paste]. My product: [description]. What I actually have to back it up: [references, numbers, guarantee, demo]. For each objection, return: how it's phrased in the customer's own words; what's probably behind it; how I can counter it using ONLY what I actually have (if there's no evidence for it, write “nothing to counter it with” and suggest what I'd need to gather); where it belongs — in the ad, on the landing page, or in a follow-up email. Sort by how many people mentioned the objection. Don't invent references, numbers, or studies.
Seven angles for saying the same thing
I'm writing copy for an ad campaign. Inputs: Offer: [what, for whom, how it differs] Persona: [paste one persona] Customer language: [paste the list of their phrasing] Proof I actually have: [references, numbers, guarantee, demo] Platform and format: [e.g. Facebook, static image] Write 7 variants of the main copy — each from one angle: pain, benefit, proof, fear, status, curiosity, humor. For each variant give: - 3 headline versions (max [30] characters) - primary text (max [125] characters) - a call to action (2–4 words) - one sentence on who from the persona it targets and what it's testing Rules: - Use words from the attached customer vocabulary, not marketing language (“innovative solution,” “tailored to your needs”). - Don't claim anything that isn't in my evidence. If the “proof” angle has nothing to lean on, say so instead of making something up. - For the “fear” variant, no pressure tactics. No superlatives like “the best in the industry,” no named comparisons with competitors, and no promised results I can't guarantee.
Checking claims before it goes live
Review this ad copy the way someone whose job is checking accuracy and ad compliance would. Don't rewrite it, just list the findings. Copy: [paste]. Industry: [industry]. What I have to back it up: [references, measurements, guarantee] List: claims unsupported by my evidence; promised outcomes I can't guarantee; superlatives and comparisons with competitors; wording that creates undue pressure or fear; places missing material information (terms, limitations, price); anything that might be regulated in my industry. For each finding, quote the exact passage and explain why it's risky. Don't give a legally binding assessment — I want a list of places to go over with someone who knows the industry.
Brief for the designer
Write a creative brief for a designer for ad visuals, one page, in bullet points, no marketing jargon. Campaign: [goal and the one number]. Audience: [persona in two sentences]. Message and angle: [winning angle]. Copy that goes in the visual: [headline + call to action]. Formats: [1:1, 4:5, 9:16], placement: [platform]. What we have: [logo, colors, product photos]. What we don't have: [gaps]. The brief should contain: 1. What the visual has to communicate in the first second (what should be visible instantly) 2. The main concept and 2 alternative directions, one sentence each 3. How much text is allowed in the image and what it must include 4. What must not be used (stock-photo clichés, illegible details, elements that disappear in a small thumbnail) 5. Technical spec: dimensions, safe zone, file format 6. Three questions I should answer for the designer up front
Generated images: what they can and can't do
Write 3 prompt variants for an image generator, for an ad visual. Message: [angle and main idea]. Audience: [persona in one sentence]. Format: [aspect ratio], placement: [platform]. Our brand style: [colors, mood, what to avoid]. Each variant should include: the main concept as a scene (not just an object), composition including empty space for text I'll add myself, lighting and color, style (photography / illustration / graphic), and what the generator should avoid. Don't put any text in the image — I'll add that in an editor. No real living people, no other companies' logos, no protected characters. For each variant, add one sentence on what to check in the result.
Script does the math, not the chat
I have a CSV export from the ad platform. Here's the header and the first 5 rows (semicolon delimiter, UTF-8 encoding, decimal comma): [paste 5 rows including column headers] Write a Python script (pandas) that: 1. loads the file as data/campaign.csv and handles the number formatting and empty cells, 2. sums the metrics at the level of individual ads and audiences, 3. calculates CTR, CPC, CPM, conversion rate, and cost per conversion (for zero conversions, don't crash on division by zero — flag them instead), 4. sorts ads by cost per conversion and adds the conversion count, 5. prints totals and how much budget was spent by rows with zero conversions, 6. saves the result to results.csv. For each step, write a comment explaining WHY it's done that way. Don't calculate anything in your reply — I want a script I run myself.
Interpretation with a brake pedal
My campaign results, calculated by the script: [paste table] Context: goal [goal], cost-per-conversion limit [amount], campaign has been running [number] days, every ad had the same daily budget. Answer in four blocks, no marketing language: 1. What the data clearly shows — only what the numbers actually support. 2. Which conclusions have too little data to decide on. State how many conversions or clicks would be needed. 3. Contradictions and suspicious spots (high CTR with low conversion, totals that don't add up, rows with a small sample). 4. Three explanations for the worst result and how I'd verify each. Don't recommend any budget changes yet. Don't calculate new numbers — work only with what I gave you.
Phase 6: iteration — kill, scale, rewrite
Here's my campaign's current performance: [paste the table from the script]. Cost-per-conversion limit: [amount]. Campaign has been running [days]. Total daily budget: [amount]. Build a decision table: for each ad, recommend one action — KILL / LET RUN / SCALE / REWRITE — along with: - the number the decision is based on - whether there's enough data (and if not, how much more is needed) - what to do specifically (for SCALE, suggest a step size and how long to wait; for REWRITE, what to change in the copy) - the risk of that decision Finally, state which single decision in the whole table matters most, and why. Don't change any budgets, just recommend — I'll make the changes myself.
Phase 7: budget discipline
Build me a weekly check-in routine for paid advertising. Campaigns: [count and type]. Daily budget: [amount]. Goal and cost-per-conversion limit: [number]. Who has account access: [roles, not names]. Build a 15-minute checklist: - what to check in the numbers (metrics and what counts as a warning sign) - what to check in settings (budgets, caps, audiences, end dates, access) - what to check outside the ad platform (billing, landing page, form) - three signals that mean stop the campaign immediately For each item, note where to find it and how long it takes. Make it fit on one screen.
