Module 02

Customer Research & Competitor Analysis

Stop guessing who your customer is and what your rivals are really doing. We build deep, evidence-led personas and a repeatable process for finding the gaps your competitors have left wide open.

Deep persona building with Claude

Use Claude to turn what you already know — sales calls, reviews, support tickets — into rich, psychological personas with jobs-to-be-done, objections and the exact language your buyers use.

Claude promptAct as a senior brand strategist. From the customer reviews, sales notes and product details below, build three distinct buyer personas. For each: name, demographic snapshot, their core "job to be done", top three anxieties, the trigger that makes them buy, objections to overcome, and five exact phrases they use in their own words. Then tell me what each persona needs to hear first.

Live market intel via Perplexity

Perplexity gives you current, cited answers — pricing shifts, new entrants, category trends and what's being said right now — so your strategy is built on today's market, not last year's deck.

Perplexity promptGive me a sourced briefing on the [category] market in the UK as of this month: the five biggest players, their positioning and pricing, recent launches or campaigns in the last 90 days, emerging consumer trends, and any gaps competitors are not addressing. Cite every claim.

Two-step competitor gap-finding

A simple, powerful flow your team can run on any rival: gather, then interrogate.

  • Step 1 — Perplexity: pull each competitor's messaging, offers, channels and customer complaints with sources.
  • Step 2 — Claude: paste it in and ask where they're weak, what they all sound the same on, and the one positioning territory nobody owns.
Module 03

Strategy & GTM Planning

Tools without strategy is just noise made faster. We anchor everything in the five questions every marketing plan must answer, then use AI to draft a full strategy and a 90-day go-to-market plan you can act on Monday morning.

The five strategic questions
  1. Where are we now? The honest baseline — market, brand and numbers.
  2. Where do we want to be? A clear, measurable objective.
  3. Who exactly are we for? The persona and the job they're hiring you for.
  4. Why us, not them? The single most compelling reason to choose you.
  5. How will we get there? The channels, message and budget that connect the dots.

Full marketing strategy prompt

Claude promptYou are my fractional CMO. Using the persona, competitor analysis and the answers to my five strategic questions below, write a one-page marketing strategy: positioning statement, core message, three strategic pillars, priority channels with rationale, the single most important metric, and the three biggest risks. Be opinionated and tell me what NOT to do.

90-day GTM follow-up prompt

Claude promptTurn that strategy into a 90-day go-to-market plan. Give me month-by-month priorities, a weekly content and campaign cadence, owners by role, the assets we need to create, and a simple dashboard of 4–5 KPIs to review each Friday. Flag what we must do in week one.
Module 04

  • Execution: naming conventions, UTMs and structured test plans

PPC & search

The Perplexity→Claude research flow that powers high-intent campaigns.

Perplexity → ClaudePerplexity: what are buyers in [category] actually searching for, and which competitor terms are underserved? (cite) Claude: using that, build a keyword & ad-group structure, 15 RSA headlines, 4 descriptions, and negative keywords.

Direct-response TV and video scripts built to sell, fast.

Module 06

Analytics & Measurement

If you can't measure it, you can't defend the budget. We set up measurement before launch, analyse what happened, and turn the data into a story your board will back.

Build the framework first

Define success before a penny is spent — the metrics, benchmarks and tracking that make a campaign provable.

Claude promptBefore we launch [campaign], design a measurement framework: the one north-star metric, supporting KPIs by funnel stage, sensible benchmarks for our category, what to track where, and the decision rules for when we scale, fix or kill it.

The campaign analysis prompt

Drop your results in and get a clear read on what worked, what didn't, and why.

Claude / Copilot in ExcelAnalyse this campaign data. Tell me the three things that worked, the three that didn't, the most likely causes, and the single change that would most improve ROI next time. Show the numbers behind each conclusion.

Board-ready narratives

Turn a spreadsheet into a story leadership understands and funds — ideal for Copilot in PowerPoint with enterprise-grade security.

Claude promptTurn these results into a one-slide board narrative: the headline outcome in plain English, what it means for revenue, the lesson learned, and the specific investment ask for next quarter. Confident, concise, no jargon.
