Prompt Engineers & AI Enthusiasts Let's do some prompt engineering this weekend. In the first instalment of our Weekly Prompt Engineering Challenges! This week, we're kicking things off with the following task: refine and templatize a prompt inspired by Kieran Flanagan's approach to writing a brand story in the style of Seth Godin. Challenge Details: We have a prompt that aims to encapsulate Seth Godin's unique style in crafting compelling brand stories. While the original prompt captures the essence well, it could benefit from clarity and a more structured template to enhance usability for both humans and AI systems. Your Task: Refine the original prompt to make it more clear, structured, and templatized. The goal is to create a template that can be easily tweaked for different brands or products, maintaining effectiveness and simplicity. 1. Clarity: Ensure the prompt is straightforward and easy to understand. 2. Structure: Organize the prompt into a clear, logical format that guides the AI and the user. 3. Templatization: Develop a format that allows easy modifications, such as changing the brand name, target audience, or key message, without reworking the entire prompt. 4. Output: Define the desired outcome of the prompt, specifying the format, tone, and style of the resulting brand story to ensure it aligns with Seth Godin’s narrative approach. Submission Guidelines: - Submit your refined prompt in this thread. - Include a brief explanation of how your version improves on the original in terms of clarity, structure, templatization, and output. - We'll close off and review submissions next Thursday! Excited to see how you transform this prompt into a versatile tool for storytelling. Let's start Here is the Original Prompt: The following is inspired by Seth Godin’s timeless approach to storytelling. It will take a product name and create a timeless story for it. <Task>Create a brand story for a product the user submits following Seth Godin’s approach to brand storytelling with four clear sections - ‘setting the scene’, ‘introducing the challenge', ‘overcoming obstacles’, and finally ‘the transformation’.

Happy Monday Prompt Engineers! It’s time for this week’s challenge. This one is about dissecting and understanding the mechanics behind successful Facebook advertising. Challenge Overview: We've all seen Facebook ads that seem to know exactly what we want. This week, your task is to pick a Facebook ad that convinced you to make a purchase. Analyze why it was effective and then develop a prompt template and recipe that could be used to recreate similar ads for different products or services. How to Participate: 1. Select an Ad: Choose a Facebook ad that recently led you to make a purchase. It could be anything—from gadgets and clothing to subscriptions and services. 2. Analysis: Briefly explain what elements of the ad captured your attention and persuaded you to buy. Was it the imagery, the copy, the offer, or a combination of these elements? 3. Develop a Prompt: Based on your analysis, create a detailed prompt that could guide an AI in generating similar ads. Your prompt should specify the tone, style, key messages, and any other important elements that should be featured in the ad. Objectives: - Understanding Consumer Psychology: Gain insights into what makes an ad compelling. - Creativity in Prompt Engineering: Apply your findings to create a versatile and effective prompt. - Application of AI in Marketing: Explore how AI can be utilized to replicate successful marketing strategies. Submission Details: Please submit your analysis and prompt in this thread. Why This Challenge? This exercise will help you understand key advertising strategies and how to implement these strategies in AI-driven marketing tools. It's a practical way to enhance your skills in both marketing and AI. Looking forward to your submissions!
