Decide whether my brand should jump on a trend
A quick go or no-go check on a trend, meme, or cultural moment, with on-brand post ideas if it's a go.
The prompt
Help me decide whether our brand should join a trend, meme, or cultural moment, and how.
The trend: [DESCRIBE IT: format, sound or meme, where it's happening, how long it's been running]
Our brand and audience: [WHO WE ARE, WHO FOLLOWS US]
Brand voice limits: [what we never joke about or do]
Turnaround we can manage: [e.g. "same day with one approval"]
Evaluate:
1. Relevance: does it connect naturally to our product, audience, or values, or would it feel forced?
2. Timing: is it rising, peaking, or already stale? (If I haven't given evidence, say what to check.)
3. Risk: origins of the trend, sensitive topics, people or communities it could mock, copyright on sounds or footage, likely misreadings.
4. Effort vs. likely payoff.
Return:
- A verdict: go / adapt / skip, with reasons in 3 bullets.
- If go or adapt: 3 post concepts with hook, format, and caption, each tied to something true about our brand.
- A pre-post checklist (licensed audio, no real people without consent, approver sign-off).
- If skip: one alternative way to engage with the moment, or a reason to stay silent.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RTF structure (Role, Task, Format). RTF tells the model who to be, what to do and what shape the answer should take. It is the quickest structure that still gives noticeably better results than a bare request.
