Scope & Limitations
In Scope: 139+ marketing ideas organized by category/stage/budget/timeline, campaign ideation frameworks, idea scoring and prioritization, campaign brief generation, trend identification and evaluation, quick win identification, PLG strategy ideas.
Out of Scope: Detailed implementation for each idea (see channel-specific skills), budget allocation optimization (see marketing-analyst skill), execution tracking and analytics (see campaign-analytics skill), content creation (see content-creator skill).
Limitations: This skill provides strategy and ideas, not execution. Each idea requires a channel-specific skill for full implementation. Impact estimates (High/Medium/Low) are directional based on benchmarks; actual results depend on execution quality, market fit, and timing. Trend evaluation is subjective and should be combined with data analysis.
