Start with a clearly defined marketing discipline such as SEO, product marketing, branding, or email marketing. Instruct an AI to act as both an expert marketer and prompt engineer, then identify how elite practitioners in that field think, what drives results, and how they scale their work. Organize the findings into mental models, strategies, operating principles, practical lessons, and citations. For every tactic, generate a ready-to-customize prompt plus an explanation of why it fits and where it belongs in the workflow. Improve the library by enabling deeper research and supplying company-specific inputs such as customer calls, sales decks, screenshots, keywords, and performance data. The output becomes both a learning resource and an automation toolkit that can be saved, visualized, or shared with a team.
Origin
Extracted from Marketing Against The Grain, where the host demonstrates one prompt across SEO, product marketing, branding, and email marketing.
Core principles
- 01Study how proven practitioners think before copying their tactics.
- 02Connect every tactic to an executable prompt.
- 03Use credible sources to ground expert claims.
- 04Add business context and proprietary inputs to improve outputs.
- 05Package the library so teammates can reuse it.
How to run it
- 1
Select the discipline
Name one bounded marketing discipline or problem, such as SEO, positioning, brand strategy, or paid media. A specific domain produces a more coherent expert library.
Pro tip Start with a current team priority rather than requesting all of marketing at once.
Watch out An overly broad request can produce shallow or generic tactics.
- 2
Model elite practitioners
Ask the AI to identify how leading marketers in the discipline think, what drives their results, and how they scale. Require mental models, strategies, and operating principles rather than an unstructured idea list.
Pro tip Provide trusted sources or enable deep research for stronger attribution.
Watch out Treat named experts and citations as claims to verify, not guaranteed facts.
- 3
Structure each tactic
For every tactic, require a name, concise description, practical lesson, and source citation where applicable. This turns research into a scannable reference library.
Pro tip Keep lessons bite-sized enough for immediate use by a new team member.
Watch out Do not confuse polished wording with evidence that a tactic is effective.
- 4
Generate executable prompts
Create a reusable AI prompt for each tactic and explain why it fits and how a marketer would use it. Include placeholders for the product, audience, channel, objective, and inputs.
Pro tip Request a defined deliverable format so outputs can enter an existing workflow.
Watch out Prompts without sufficient context will tend toward generic recommendations.
- 5
Add proprietary context
Supply relevant internal material such as decks, calls, screenshots, analytics, or content inventories. Use these inputs to adapt expert tactics to the actual business.
Pro tip Remove sensitive information and provide only the material required for the task.
Watch out Do not upload confidential or personal data to tools that are not approved for it.
- 6
Package and share
Save the strongest prompts in a team library, custom assistant, or visual reference. Add usage notes so colleagues know when and how to apply each prompt.
Pro tip Test prompts on one real task before making them standard operating procedures.
Watch out A large uncurated prompt collection can become harder to use than a small validated set.
In the wild
The host enters SEO and receives mental models such as the search intent ladder, topic clusters, and designing around the appearance of search results. The output then supplies prompts for tasks such as creating a pillar page, cluster articles, intent tags, and internal-link structures.
→ A marketer receives both a compact SEO learning guide and prompts that can accelerate planning and content-roadmap work.
For product marketing, the generated library covers positioning, narrative-led go-to-market, focused segmentation, sales feedback loops, onboarding, and sales collateral. The host notes that adding sales decks, customer calls, context, and screenshots would make the prompts more useful.
→ The library can support positioning work, onboarding analysis, pitch decks, sales collateral, and BDR enablement.
The branding run surfaces category design, distinctive brand assets, strategic narratives, and a minimal viable brand system. The host then applies one prompt to HubSpot and obtains a list of recognizable assets and a draft positioning statement.
→ A brand team gains reusable prompts for narrative, positioning, and consistent asset development.
Common mistakes
Requesting tactics without research
A fast response may sound authoritative while relying on weak attribution. Supply credible sources, enable deeper research, and verify important citations.
Using prompts without company context
Generic prompts cannot reliably reflect a product, customer, or sales environment. Add relevant evidence and explicit constraints before operational use.
Sharing an untested library
A visually impressive collection may still contain impractical prompts. Test outputs on real work and curate the library before distributing it broadly.
Is it for you?
Best for
Marketers and small teams that want to learn a discipline quickly while automating parts of the associated work.
Not ideal for
Teams expecting reliable execution without reviewing sources, supplying context, or validating AI-generated recommendations.
