Brief AI Like a Strategist: 3 AI Prompts Frameworks for Marketers
Stop being a prompt monkey. These 3 AI prompts for marketers—Audience Autopsy, Objective Onion, Iteration Gauntlet—turn AI into your strategist sidekick. Tie them to Interact quizzes for campaigns that actually convert. Copy-paste templates included.
AI hallucinations ruining your campaign copy? Congrats—you've met the "prompt monkey" phase of marketing AI. It's when marketers feed ChatGPT half-baked prompts and hope for Hemingway. The results? Confident nonsense. But here's the truth: great AI output isn't about luck—it's about strategy. This post gives you three reusable AI prompts for marketers—the same frameworks pros use to brief AI like it's a junior strategist, not a magic 8-ball.
Bonus: each ties neatly into Interact's AI quiz tools, from audience insights to A/B testing.
Framework 1: The "Audience Autopsy" Brief
Your AI is only as smart as the data you feed it. Think of the "Audience Autopsy" like a forensic deep dive into your customer's brain—minus the gloves. The goal? Give AI the kind of audience intel a strategist would whisper before pitching a million-dollar campaign.
AI doesn't guess; it mirrors what you give it. So instead of "Write quiz results for pet owners," you brief it like a strategist who knows their audience's caffeine habits, not just their demographics.
Copy-paste prompt template:
"You are creating marketing copy for [brand or product]. The target audience is [describe demographics, psychographics, pain points, motivation triggers, and tone preferences]. They engage most with [types of Interact quizzes or topics]. Write [copy type: quiz results, headline, CTA] that appeals to this audience's core driver: [emotional or practical goal]."
Example in action:
An Interact user builds a quiz titled "What's Your Marketing Mojo?". Instead of prompting AI with "Write result pages for each quiz type," they run it through an Audience Autopsy. Result: copy that sounds like it was written by a peer in their industry, not a random chatbot on caffeine.
When AI knows who it's writing for, it starts writing like them. That's how your campaigns resonate instead of regurgitate.
Framework 2: The "Objective Onion" Layers
Every marketer's nightmare: AI-generated copy that sounds great… until you realize it's solving the wrong problem. The "Objective Onion" peels back layers of your goals so AI knows why it's writing—not just what it's writing.

Start with your primary campaign goal, then work backwards—each layer adds depth. Example:
Outer layer (awareness): Spark interest in your quiz or funnel.
Middle layer (engagement): Encourage interactivity and personalized paths.
Core layer (conversion): Drive sign-ups, purchases, or leads through Interact integrations.
Layered prompt structure:
"I'm creating a campaign for [goal]. Break down messaging across three layers: Awareness, Engagement, and Conversion. Use insights from [source: audience data, quiz responses, or previous campaign results]. For each layer, suggest tone, CTA, and format ideas that guide users toward conversion."
Example in action:
You're running an Interact email sequence following a "Find Your Brand Voice" quiz. Using the Objective Onion, your AI first drafts teaser content (awareness), then witty mid-sequence personalization based on quiz results (engagement), and finally crisp CTAs that link back to tailored product pages (conversion). Instead of one-size-fits-all copy, you're building a content funnel that thinks—and adapts—like a strategist.
And yes, this framework alone can 3x your email click-through rate overnight (tested with marketers who have caffeine and conviction).
Framework 3: The "Iteration Gauntlet" Loop
If the first two frameworks are about precision, this one's about evolution. The "Iteration Gauntlet" is where your AI goes from eager intern to performance-driven copy chief.
Think of it as an A/B testing mindset—but built into your prompt. You don't just ask AI to write; you ask it to score and improve based on your criteria. The Gauntlet forces iteration until quality meets data.
Feedback loop template:
"Write [asset type: quiz headline, Instagram caption, ad copy] for [context]. Then rate your output on a 1–10 scale for clarity, persuasion, brand voice, and conversion potential. For any score under 8, revise with specific adjustments until overall quality exceeds 9/10."
Example in action:
Testing two quiz headlines for your Interact campaign? Instead of waiting for real-world metrics to tell you which wins, run the Iteration Gauntlet. AI self-critiques, adjusts language, and even explains why one version might outperform another. You're not just generating options—you're training consistency.
This loop mirrors what top marketing teams already do with A/B data—but at AI speed. It's like handing your intern a checklist and an espresso shot, then watching the work improve in real time.
Outro: Strategize It, Don't Wing It
The gap between mediocre and magnetic AI output isn't creativity—it's structure. When you brief like a strategist, your AI becomes a brand-thinking, conversion-predicting assistant, not a chaotic word blender. These three AI marketing frameworks—Audience Autopsy, Objective Onion, and Iteration Gauntlet—aren't hacks. They're reusable blueprints for campaigns that convert smarter.
So, next time you fire up Interact AI, skip the monkey suit. Layer your strategy, refine your loops, and brief like a boss.
