The Advanced Prompting Framework

Most people write prompts as one-line requests and get generic results. Professional creators use a structure. Every prompt in this playbook follows the same five-part framework — learn it once, and you can build your own prompts for anything.

PartWhat It DoesExample
1. RoleTells the AI what expertise to adopt"You are an experienced social media copywriter..."
2. TaskThe specific thing you want made"...write 5 Instagram captions for a product launch..."
3. ContextBackground the AI needs to get it right"...for a skincare brand targeting women aged 20–30..."
4. FormatHow you want the output structured"...as a numbered list, each under 150 characters..."
5. ConstraintsTone, length, things to avoid"...upbeat but not salesy, no emojis, no exclamation marks."

The Secret

The words in [SQUARE BRACKETS] throughout this playbook show you WHERE to personalise — not that you have to use those exact words. Swap them for your real brand, topic, and audience every time.

SECTION 1

📝 Blog & Article Prompts

BP1 · Full Blog Post

You are an experienced content writer. Write a 700-word blog post titled '[TITLE]' for an audience of [AUDIENCE]. The tone should be [TONE]. Structure it with an introduction, three main sections with subheadings, and a conclusion with a call to action to [ACTION]. Include one relevant statistic or example in each section.

BP2 · Blog Outline Only

Help me plan a blog post about [TOPIC] for [AUDIENCE]. Give me: a strong title, a one-sentence hook for the introduction, four possible subheadings with a note on what each section will cover, and a suggested call to action. I will write the full post myself using this plan.

BP3 · SEO-Optimised Article

Write a blog post about [TOPIC] optimised for the keyword '[KEYWORD]'. Use the keyword naturally in the title, the first paragraph, and at least one subheading. Keep paragraphs short (2–3 sentences). Suggest a meta description under 155 characters at the end.
SECTION 2

📅 Marketing Calendar Prompts

MC1 · 30-Day Content Calendar

Create a 30-day social media content calendar for a [BUSINESS TYPE] targeting [AUDIENCE]. Mix content types: educational, behind-the-scenes, promotional, and engagement posts (roughly 40% educational, 30% engagement, 20% behind-the-scenes, 10% promotional). For each day, give a one-line post idea and suggested format.

MC2 · Campaign Theme Planner

I am planning a marketing campaign for [PRODUCT/EVENT] launching on [DATE]. Give me a content theme for each of the 4 weeks leading up to launch, with the goal of building anticipation. For each week, suggest 3 content ideas that fit the theme.

MC3 · Repurposing Plan

I have one long-form piece of content: [DESCRIBE CONTENT]. Give me 8 ways to repurpose it into shorter content for Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn, with a one-line description of each derivative piece.
SECTION 3

🌐 Website Copy Prompts

WC1 · Homepage Copy

Write homepage copy for [BUSINESS NAME], which offers [PRODUCT/SERVICE] to [AUDIENCE]. Include: a headline (under 10 words), a one-sentence subheading, three benefit statements, and a call-to-action button label. Tone: [TONE]. Avoid generic phrases like 'we are passionate about'.

WC2 · About Page

Write an About page for [BUSINESS/PERSON NAME]. Key facts to include: [FACTS]. The tone should feel [TONE]. Keep it under 300 words and end with a line that invites the reader to take the next step.

WC3 · Product/Service Description

Write a product description for [PRODUCT NAME]. Key features: [LIST FEATURES]. Focus on benefits, not just features — explain what each feature actually does FOR the customer. Keep it to 100–150 words, written for [AUDIENCE].
SECTION 4

🎬 Script Writing Prompts

SW1 · Short-Form Video Script

Write a 30-second video script for [PLATFORM] about [TOPIC]. Structure: a hook in the first 3 seconds, a middle section that delivers value or entertainment, and a closing call to action. Write it as a shot-by-shot script with on-screen text suggestions.

SW2 · Explainer Video Script

Write a 60-second explainer script for [PRODUCT/CONCEPT], aimed at [AUDIENCE] who have never heard of it before. Use simple language and one clear analogy. Structure: problem → solution → how it works → call to action.

SW3 · AI Influencer / Presenter Script

Write a script for an AI presenter avatar to deliver, introducing [TOPIC/PRODUCT]. The presenter's personality is [PERSONALITY]. Keep sentences short and natural for spoken delivery. Length: [LENGTH].
SECTION 5

📢 Ad Copy Prompts

AD1 · Social Media Ad

Write 3 versions of a [PLATFORM] ad for [PRODUCT/SERVICE], targeting [AUDIENCE]. Each version should test a different angle: pain point, aspiration/benefit, urgency/scarcity. Include a headline, primary text (under 125 characters), and call-to-action button label for each.

AD2 · Google/Search Ad

Write 5 headline variations (30 characters max each) and 2 description variations (90 characters max each) for a search ad promoting [PRODUCT/SERVICE]. Include the keyword '[KEYWORD]' naturally where possible.

AD3 · Video Ad Concept

Give me 3 different video ad concepts for [PRODUCT], each under 15 seconds. For each concept, describe: the opening hook, the core message, the visual style, and the closing call to action. Make each concept distinctly different in approach.
SECTION 6

🎥 AI Video Generation Prompts

Use these directly inside tools like Runway, Kling, Veo, Higgsfield, or Google Flow. Video prompts work best when they describe a single clear shot rather than a whole story.

VG1 · Product Shot

[PRODUCT] on a [SURFACE/SETTING], soft natural lighting, slow 360-degree rotation, shallow depth of field, photorealistic, commercial product photography style, 4K.

VG2 · Brand / Lifestyle Shot

[PERSON DESCRIPTION] using [PRODUCT] in [SETTING], natural candid movement, warm golden-hour lighting, cinematic colour grade, shallow depth of field, handheld camera feel.

VG3 · AI Influencer Talking Shot

Use an avatar/presenter tool (e.g. HeyGen or Synthesia) rather than a text-to-video generator for this. Google Flow and Higgsfield are also strong options if you want the presenter placed inside a fuller generated scene. Upload your script from SW3, choose an avatar and voice matching your brand tone, and generate. Always disclose that the presenter is AI-generated — see the AI Safety & Responsible Use guide (Asset Y04).

Building Your Own Prompts

Once you're comfortable with these, write your own using the 5-part framework at the top of this playbook. A strong habit: save every prompt that worked well in a personal "prompt library" document — you'll reuse 80% of your prompts with small tweaks.
