What's Inside

Eight focus areas for using Claude and ChatGPT to actually move marketing work forward.

Claude vs ChatGPT — When Each One Wins

An honest comparison of where each model is genuinely better, with example tasks. Not a generic feature table — actual use-case guidance.

Prompt Patterns That Consistently Work

Six prompt patterns we use across 80% of marketing tasks. Templates included.

Content Workflows: Brief → Draft → Revise

The three-stage workflow for producing AI-assisted content that doesn't lose your brand voice. The revision step is where most marketers leave value on the table.

Research and Competitive Analysis

Prompts for synthesizing competitor positioning, market research, and customer interviews. Plus the verification step that prevents hallucination from poisoning your strategy.

Email and Ad Copy Generation (With Quality Checks)

Generation prompts plus the systematic review checklist that catches AI's most common copy failure modes before they ship.

Customer Interview Synthesis

Pull repeatable insights out of customer interview transcripts in 15 minutes instead of two hours. The tagging and synthesis prompt structure.

Model Selection — Which AI for Which Task

Beyond Claude vs ChatGPT, which specific model variant to use (Sonnet vs Opus, GPT-4 vs o1) for different cognitive load levels. Cost vs quality trade-offs explained.

What AI Is Genuinely Bad At Right Now

Three categories of work where AI consistently underperforms or produces dangerous output. Don't use AI for these — and how to recognize when you're tempted to.

Who This Is For

Marketing Managers

Marketers responsible for output across content, email, ads, and reporting — looking to compress execution time without losing quality.

Founder-Operators

Founders wearing the marketing hat who want to leverage AI without becoming AI experts. Practical workflows over theory.

Content Teams

Writers, content marketers, and SEO teams looking for the AI-assisted workflows that maintain editorial standards.

Solo Marketers

In-house marketers running 100% of marketing for their company who need force multipliers, not new tools to learn.
