Marketing Ideas

Purpose

Analyze the user's business context and produce the 5 best marketing ideas from a curated database of proven strategies, each with a clear explanation and a specific action plan tailored to their business.

---

Execution Logic

Check $ARGUMENTS first to determine execution mode:

If $ARGUMENTS is empty or not provided:

Respond with: "marketing-ideas loaded, proceed with additional instructions or tell me what marketing goal you're focused on (e.g., more leads, buzz without paid ads, customer retention, crushing competitors, etc.)"

Then wait for the user to provide their requirements in the next message.

If $ARGUMENTS contains content:

Proceed immediately to Task Execution (skip the "loaded" message).

Task Execution

When user requirements are available (either from initial $ARGUMENTS or follow-up message):

1. MANDATORY: Read Reference Files FIRST

BLOCKING REQUIREMENT — DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP

Before doing ANYTHING else, you MUST use the Read tool to read the marketing ideas database:

Read: ./references/marketing-ideas-database.md

What you will find:

• marketing-ideas-database.md: 170+ proven marketing strategies organized by goal category (Leads & Conversions, Buzz Without Paid Ads, Customer Sharing & Virality, Crushing Competitors, Customer Retention, Winning at Events, Future-Proofing, Buzz Generation Stunts, Brand Awareness, Acquisition, Retention, Monetization). Each idea has a title, strategy, real-world example, applicability, and psychological reasoning.

DO NOT PROCEED to Step 2 until you have read the database and have all ideas loaded in context.

2. MANDATORY: Read Business Context

Check if FOUNDER_CONTEXT.md exists in the project root.

• If it exists: Read it and extract: company name, industry, target audience, value proposition, products/services, business goals, team size, competitors, and brand voice.
• If it doesn't exist: Ask the user to briefly describe their business, target audience, product/service, and current marketing goal. Do NOT proceed without business context — this skill requires it to produce relevant recommendations.
