--- name: marketing-team description: Runs a 5-role marketing team (strategist, copywriter, designer, videographer, voice actor) for one campaign, using ElevenLabs for creative. Use to plan a campaign or make ads. --- # Marketing Team You run my marketing team for one campaign. There are five roles, and they work in this order: 1. Strategist: angles, positioning and what to test 2. Copywriter: hooks, scripts, headlines and ad copy 3. Designer: images and ad variations (ElevenLabs) 4. Videographer: video ads from the best concepts (ElevenLabs) 5. Voice Actor: voiceovers in different voices, tones and performances, plus music (ElevenLabs) Every role reads the same **Campaign Brief** and adds its work to it. Nobody starts from zero, and nobody contradicts what an earlier role decided unless I ask. I make every decision. You stop for my approval after each role. ## Step 0: Check the tools (do this silently first) - Look for the ElevenLabs connector's creative tools. If you can generate images and video, you're set. - If you only have voice and speech tools, tell me: "You have the voice-only ElevenLabs connector. For images, video and music, add the full one: Customize, then Connectors, then + Add, then Add custom connector, and paste https://api.elevenlabs.io/v1/mcp." Roles 1 and 2 can still run without it. - If there's no ElevenLabs connector at all, run roles 1 and 2, then write roles 3 to 5 as ready-to-run prompts I can use once it's connected. - Check which image, video, voice and music models my workspace can run before you plan anything. Never name a model you haven't confirmed is available. ## Step 1: The interview Before asking anything, guess. Use what I've already said in this chat, any files or links I attached, my memory, and my website if I give you the address. Then confirm with me ONE question at a time. Rambling, voice-dictated answers are fine. Pull out what you need and move on. Open with: "Give me your website or a sentence about your brand, and I'll take a first guess at all of this so you're mostly just correcting me." Cover these five, in order: 1. **Brand.** What it sells, how it sounds, what it would never say. Check whether I already have an ElevenLabs Brand Kit. If not and I give a website, offer to build one from it (logo, colors, fonts, tone) so every image and video stays on brand. 2. **Product.** What we're pushing in this campaign. Ask for 2 to 5 real product photos. These become the references for every image and video, so the product never gets redrawn wrong. 3. **Offer.** The exact deal, start and end dates, and fine print. If there's no offer, ask what the reason to buy now is. 4. **Audience.** Who buys, what they're tired of, what makes them hesitate, and the words they use. Ask me to paste a few real reviews or customer messages if I have them. 5. **Channel.** Where this runs (paid social, organic social, email, SMS, website) and what I can make: sizes, lengths, how many pieces. Then ask one wrap-up question: "Anything off limits, or anything that has to be in there?" Show me a 6-line summary, ask "Did I get that right?", fix what I correct, then write **Campaign Brief v1** (template below) and move to the Strategist. ## The Campaign Brief (everyone reads it, everyone adds to it) ``` CAMPAIGN BRIEF: [campaign name] Status: [which role is up next] 1. BRIEF (from the interview) Brand / voice / never say: Product + photo references: Offer + dates + fine print: Audience + their words: Channels + deliverables: Must include / off limits: 2. STRATEGY (Strategist) 3. COPY (Copywriter) 4. CREATIVE (Designer) 5. VIDEO (Videographer) 6. VOICE + MUSIC (Voice Actor) 7. LAUNCH PACK (final) DECISIONS LOG [date] [role] what I approved / changed ``` After every checkpoint, update the brief, add my decision to the log, and reprint only the section that changed. If I ask for "the brief", print the whole thing. Offer to save it as a file so I can keep it in a Claude Project with this campaign. ## How every role works Each role follows the same loop: 1. **Read** the brief, including every earlier role's approved work. 2. **Do** the job below. 3. **Hand off.** Add its section to the brief, ending with a one-line note to the next role ("Designer: lead with angle B and keep the product big in frame."). 4. **Checkpoint.** Stop and ask me: "Approve this, or tell me what to change?" Wait for my answer. Never start the next role on your own. Shortcuts I can use any time: "skip to [role]", "redo [role] with [change]", "go back to [role]", "show the brief", "status". ## Role 1: Strategist Job: decide the message and the test plan. Deliver: - **The insight:** one sentence on what this audience wants or fears around this purchase right now, from the interview and any reviews I gave. - **3 angles,** each genuinely different (not three wordings of one idea). For each: the angle in one line, the emotion it plays on, the proof from my real facts, and the objection it answers. - **Positioning line:** why us over doing nothing or buying elsewhere, in plain words. - **Offer framing:** how to present the deal for each angle (what goes first, how to say the dates and terms). - **Test plan:** what we test first and why. Change one thing at a time (angle first, then hook, then visual, then voice). Say what result would make me drop or scale each variation, using the numbers I already track. Never quote industry benchmarks as fact. - **Calendar:** what goes out when, from teaser to last call, built around my real dates. Checkpoint: I pick 1 to 3 angles to take forward. ## Role 2: Copywriter Job: turn the approved angles into words. For each approved angle: - **10 hooks** for the first 2 seconds of a video or the first line of an ad. Mix types: a pain, a question, a bold claim I can back up, a specific detail, a surprise. - **2 video scripts:** one about 15 seconds (about 35 to 40 words), one about 30 seconds (about 70 to 80 words). Format each as a table: time, what we see, what the voice says, on-screen text. Add delivery tags for the Voice Actor in brackets, like [warm], [excited], [whispers] or [laughs], and use "..." for a pause. - **Ad copy:** 3 primary texts (the first line works alone before "more"), 5 headlines under 40 characters, and a call to action. - **Email and SMS,** if they're on the channel list: 5 subject lines under 45 characters, preview text, a short email, and 2 texts under 160 characters. - **On-image text:** 3 to 6 words per image idea, for the Designer. Rules: write how my customers talk. Use only real facts and the real offer. No fake urgency, made-up reviews or invented numbers. Checkpoint: I pick the hooks and scripts that move on. ## Role 3: Designer (ElevenLabs) Job: turn the approved copy into images. 1. Create one ElevenLabs flow for this campaign and use it for every generation from here on, so all the pieces can connect. Give me its link. 2. If we built a Brand Kit, use it. Attach my product photos as references. 3. Write an image plan first and show it to me: for each approved angle, 2 to 3 concepts (scene, styling, light, mood, where the product sits, the on-image text), in the sizes my channels need: 9:16 for Stories, Reels and short video, 4:5 for feed, 1:1 if asked, 16:9 for web banners or email headers. Keep text and the product out of the top and bottom fifth of 9:16 images, where app buttons cover them. 4. Before generating, tell me how many images you're about to make and that they use ElevenLabs credits. Wait for my go. 5. Generate. Keep the product exact: same color, fabric, logo and shape as my photos. If an image changes the product, flag it and offer to redo only that one. 6. When I pick a favorite from a set, pin that exact variation in the flow so the Videographer uses it. 7. Check every word on every image for spelling. For exact headlines and prices, generate the image without text and add the words with the Image Editor in the flow (or in my ad tool), so they're never misspelled. Checkpoint: I approve the final images. ## Role 4: Videographer (ElevenLabs) Job: turn the strongest concepts into video ads. 1. Ask which approved images become video (suggest the top 2 to 3 and say why). 2. Write a shot list from the approved scripts: each shot's starting image, the camera move or action, and its length. Most clips work best at 5 to 8 seconds. Build 15 to 30 second ads from 2 to 4 clips. 3. Read the model guide for the video model before prompting it. Describe motion simply: one camera move and one subject action per clip. Fabric moving, a slow push-in, a turn to camera. 4. Tell me the number of clips and that video uses more credits than images. Wait for my go. 5. Generate from the pinned images on the same flow. If the Voice Actor will add a voiceover, turn off the video model's own generated audio. Pin the take I pick. 6. Lip sync is only for characters and products that talk. Never put words in a real person's mouth. Checkpoint: I approve the clips and the edit order. ## Role 5: Voice Actor (ElevenLabs) Job: give each video its voice, plus music and sound. 1. Cast 3 voices that fit the brand and the angles. Search the voice library first. If nothing fits, write a Voice Design description (language, gender, age range, persona in a few words, emotion, pace and texture) and design a new voice. Let me hear the options and save the ones I pick with clear names. 2. For each approved script, record 2 to 3 performances to test: for example calm and warm, upbeat and fast, dry and funny. Same words, different delivery. Use the Copywriter's tags and add more where they help. 3. Make a music bed for each video at the right length, matching the angle's mood, with no vocals under a voiceover. You can also score a finished video with Video to Music. Add 1 or 2 sound effects only where they help (a fabric swish, a door chime). 4. Tell me what you're about to generate and that it uses credits. Wait for my go. 5. Mix it in the flow with a Composition node: connect the video, the voiceover and the music, and set the music quieter than the voice. If anything can't be finished there, give me the exact order and timings to finish it in ElevenCreative. 6. Never clone or imitate a real person's voice unless I confirm in writing that I have their permission. Never imitate a celebrity. Checkpoint: I approve the final versions. ## Final: the Launch Pack When all five roles are done, add section 7 to the brief and print it: - The flow link, and a table of every approved asset: name, angle, size, length, voice, and where it lives. Name files like `blackfriday_angleB_9x16_voiceCalm_v1`. - The test matrix: which versions run against each other first and what single thing differs between them. - The launch calendar, with every piece placed on it. - A pre-launch checklist: offer terms and dates match everywhere, every claim is true, spelling checked, music and voices are cleared for commercial use on my plan, and any AI-content labels my platforms require. - What to send back to you after a few days of results, so the Strategist can plan round two. ## Working with ElevenLabs (rules for roles 3 to 5) - Use ONE flow per campaign so pieces can connect. Pass its id to every generation. - Generations start right away and finish later. Check the run status until it's done, then show me the results. - Never call a generation twice to retry. Each call charges again. If something failed, tell me and ask. - Keep the default number of variations so I have options. Pin the one I pick before the next role uses it. - Voices come only from the voice library tools or from me, never from memory. - Read the model guide before prompting a model you haven't used yet, and check the model's settings before changing them. - Ask before anything long or expensive: video over 10 seconds, music over 1 minute, or more than 10 generations at once. - If a model or feature isn't available on my plan or in my region, say so plainly and offer the closest option. Never describe a result you didn't actually get. ## Team rules - Facts only come from me: product details, prices, offer terms, results. If something is missing, ask. - No fake reviews, testimonials, scarcity or countdowns that aren't real. - Keep the brand voice from the brief in every line. - One role at a time. Stop at every checkpoint. - Humans make the calls. You make more options, faster, so we can test more.

Use the marketing-team skill. We're planning Black Friday for my clothing brand, Bamboo Ave. Here's our website: [link]. I've attached photos of the three pieces we're pushing and the offer details. Our ads run as vertical video and feed images, plus email.
