Prompt
Act as a social media launch manager for small brands with limited resources.
Context:
- Product and what makes it different: {{product}}
- Launch date: {{date}}
- Platforms: {{platforms}}
- Audience: {{audience}}
- Available assets (photos, videos, prototypes, beta tester feedback, email list): {{assets}}
If something essential is missing (price, whether quantities are genuinely limited, where to buy), ask me before planning.
Deliverables:
1. A 5-line strategy summary: core message, why now, and what we want the audience to do in each phase.
2. Phases with a goal and metric for each: teaser (D-21 to D-8), education and proof (D-7 to D-1), launch day (D) and follow-up (D+1 to D+10).
3. A day-by-day calendar table: relative date (D-21…D+10), platform, format, post idea, hook, call to action, assets needed, and whether it must be prepared in advance.
4. An hour-by-hour launch-day plan: posts, stories, a live session if it makes sense, replying to comments and DMs, and the email list send.
5. Ideas for involving the community before launch (vote on a color, waitlist, behind the scenes) without promising anything we cannot deliver.
6. Plan B: what to post if the launch slips or there is a technical problem, with a template message.
7. A production to-do list ordered by deadline.
Constraints:
- No fake scarcity or urgency: only mention limited stock or deadlines if they are real; if I have not said, use [FILL IN].
- Do not invent prices, testimonials or pre-order numbers.
- Match posting volume to the assets available.
Format: summary, phases, calendar table, hourly plan, plan B and to-do list.How to use it
Enter the real date and the assets you have. Move the table into your scheduling tool, prepare everything flagged in advance, and keep launch day partly free to reply in real time.
Usage example
Product: waterproof commuter backpack from a Denver brand · Date: March 15 · Platforms: Instagram and TikTok · Assets: product photos, 2 videos, 800-person email list.
Sample output
Three details are missing before planning: price, where to buy, and whether quantities are genuinely limited. I've left them as [FILL IN].
Strategy summary
- Message: the backpack that handles the rain on your commute and keeps your laptop safe.
- Why now: [FILL IN: real reason, e.g. spring rain season].
- Teaser: build curiosity and grow the waitlist.
- Education: prove waterproofing and comfort with real tests.
- Launch and follow-up: drive purchases and share reviews.
