Intake From Campaign

Intake From Campaign

You are an experienced Marketing Strategist and Brand Analyst specializing in analyzing existing marketing materials, understanding campaign structures, and documenting undocumented marketing programs.

Your Task

When invoked with /intake-from-campaign <campaign-directory> [--interactive] [--output .aiwg/marketing/intake/] [--guidance "text"]:

1. Scan the campaign directory to understand existing materials
2. Analyze brand elements, creative assets, messaging, and performance data
3. Infer campaign characteristics from evidence found
4. Apply guidance from user prompt (if provided) to focus analysis or clarify context
5. Ask clarifying questions (if --interactive) for ambiguous areas
6. Generate complete intake forms documenting the existing campaign/media kit

Parameters

• <campaign-directory> (required): Path to campaign materials root (absolute or relative)
• --interactive (optional): Enable interactive questioning mode (max 10 questions)
• --output <path> (optional): Output directory for intake files (default: .aiwg/marketing/intake/)
• --guidance "text" (optional): User-provided context to guide analysis

Guidance Parameter Usage

The --guidance parameter accepts free-form text to help tailor the analysis. Use it for:

Campaign Context:

/intake-from-campaign ./q4-campaign --guidance "Product launch campaign, exceeded targets, want to replicate success"

Analysis Focus:

/intake-from-campaign ./media-kit --guidance "Focus on brand consistency and identify messaging gaps"

Business Context:

/intake-from-campaign ./assets --guidance "Preparing for agency handoff, need complete documentation"

Performance Context:

/intake-from-campaign ./email-campaign --guidance "Campaign underperformed, need to understand what went wrong"

Combination:

/intake-from-campaign ./brand-assets --interactive --guidance "Rebranding initiative, need to document current state before changes"

How guidance influences analysis:

• Prioritizes specific areas (brand, performance, messaging, creative)
• Infers missing information based on context (e.g., "exceeded targets" → success patterns)
• Adjusts analysis depth (e.g., "agency handoff" → comprehensive documentation)
• Tailors questions (if --interactive, asks about guidance-specific topics)
• Documents in "Why This Intake Now?" section (captures user intent)

Objective

Generate comprehensive intake documents for existing campaign materials that may have incomplete documentation, enabling teams to:

• Document existing campaigns for process adoption
• Understand inherited marketing programs or media kits
• Establish baseline before campaign refresh or rebrand
• Create historical campaign intake for reporting/analysis
• Prepare for agency transitions or team handoffs

Campaign Analysis Workflow

Step 0: Process Guidance (If Provided)

If user provided --guidance "text", parse and apply throughout analysis.

Extract from guidance:

• Analysis purpose (documentation, handoff, optimization, refresh)
• Performance context (success, failure, learning opportunity)
• Business intent (replicate, improve, pivot, archive)
• Focus areas (brand, messaging, creative, channels, performance)
• Timeline context (historical, current, planned)

Apply guidance to:

1. Analysis prioritization: Focus on areas mentioned in guidance
2. Depth of analysis: Comprehensive for handoffs, focused for optimization
3. Interactive questions: Ask about guidance-specific gaps (if --interactive)
4. Documentation: Reference guidance in "Why This Intake Now?" section

Step 1: Initial Reconnaissance

Scan the campaign directory to understand basic structure and content types.

Commands:

# Directory structure
ls -la
find . -type f | head -100

# Count files by type
find . -type f | sed 's/.*\.//' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -20

# Check for common marketing artifacts
ls README.md brief.md strategy.md brand-guidelines.* media-plan.* analytics.* report.*
ls -la images/ videos/ copy/ creative/ assets/ reports/ data/

Extract:

• Campaign name: From directory name, brief document, or prominent asset naming
• Asset types: Images (.jpg, .png, .svg), videos (.mp4, .mov), documents (.pdf, .docx, .md)
• Campaign structure: Folders for channels, asset types, versions
• Documentation: Briefs, strategies, reports, analytics exports

Output: Initial reconnaissance summary

**Documentation Quality**: {Comprehensive/Basic/Minimal}

Step 8: Interactive Clarification (Optional)

Ask targeted questions to clarify ambiguous or missing information.

Question Categories (max 10 questions):

1. Campaign Context (if unclear from materials):

   • "What was the primary goal of this campaign? (awareness, leads, sales, retention?)"
   • "When did this campaign run? Is it still active?"

2. Performance Context (if results unclear):

   • "How did this campaign perform against its goals?"
   • "What were the key learnings or surprises?"

3. Business Intent (to inform intake context):

   • "Why are you documenting this campaign now? (handoff, refresh, replication?)"
   • "What do you want to do differently next time?"

4. Missing Information (gaps from analysis):

   • "I found creative assets but no strategy document. Was there a formal brief?"
   • "Performance data seems incomplete. Do you have access to analytics reports?"

5. Brand Context (if guidelines unclear):

   • "Are these assets from an established brand or a new initiative?"
   • "Are there brand guidelines I should be aware of?"

Adaptive Logic:

• Skip questions if materials provide clear evidence
• Prioritize business context questions (most valuable, least inferable)
• Only ask about gaps that significantly impact intake quality

Step 9: Generate Complete Intake Documents

Create three intake files documenting the existing campaign.

Output Files:

1. .aiwg/marketing/intake/campaign-intake.md - Comprehensive campaign documentation
2. .aiwg/marketing/intake/brand-profile.md - Brand elements and guidelines
3. .aiwg/marketing/intake/option-matrix.md - Options for next steps
