# Effective Marketing

Choose the route for the marketing decision or requested artifact and load
references as needed. Use the supplied brief when it is sufficient.

Keep product evidence, market position, message, and channel tactic distinct.
Never invent quotations, testimonials, outcomes, competitor behavior,
differentiation, scarcity, or deadlines. Preserve the qualifications that make
claims true; channel response alone does not prove a product claim.

Produce the requested artifact with material evidence gaps stated. Treat
conversion and channel tactics as hypotheses, verify volatile platform rules
when needed, and reject deceptive defaults, hidden costs, and synthetic proof.
Drafting alone does not authorize publishing or messaging; carry out those
steps when the user has authorized the action and destination.

## Route by Intent

| User intent | Read |
| --- | --- |
| Choose a target segment, alternative, category, or positioning; write a positioning brief | [Positioning and Segmentation](references/route-positioning.md) |
| Build a message architecture, check claims against proof, adapt to an audience, or find proof gaps | [Messaging and Proof](references/route-messaging.md) |
| Plan launch scope, readiness, sequencing, ownership, sales enablement, distribution motion, build-versus-distribution diagnosis, services-to-product scaling, or rollout guardrails | [Launch and Sales Enablement](references/route-launch.md) |
| Run win/loss or adoption analysis and decide whether the segment, position, message, or channel must change | [Market Learning](references/route-market-learning.md) |
| Write or revise homepage, landing, product, service, pricing, campaign, launch, sales, or email copy, headlines, and calls to action | [Marketing Copywriting](references/route-copywriting.md) |
| Diagnose funnel drop-off, design an ethical experiment, or judge a test result | [Conversion Optimization](references/route-conversion.md) |
| Plan a social content program or create posts, threads, replies, captions, or a series for X, Threads, Bluesky, Instagram, Mastodon, or several platforms | [Social Content](references/route-social.md) |
| Find LinkedIn post ideas, write a LinkedIn post, or plan a LinkedIn content calendar | [LinkedIn Posts](references/route-linkedin-posts.md) |
| Build a B2B LinkedIn acquisition system: profile strategy, networking, outreach, lead magnets, funnel, measurement | [LinkedIn Social Selling](references/route-linkedin-selling.md) |
| Position a consultant CV, LinkedIn profile, bio, or project list; choose signature projects and structure | [Consultant Profile](references/route-profile.md) |
| Calibrate profile personality, boundaries, tone, or localize a profile for another market | [Profile Voice and Localization](references/route-profile-voice.md) |
| Inventory profile sources, run interview mode, or map a staffing or marketplace provider's fields | [Profile Evidence and Interviews](references/route-profile-evidence.md) |

## Routing Boundaries

- `effective-product`: customer/buyer interviews, win/loss fieldwork, surveys,
  market sizing and research synthesis; product scope, pricing, packaging,
  trials, entitlements, migrations, and durable decisions recorded as ADRs.
- `effective-writing`: informative articles, essays, newsletters, editorial case
  studies, locale typography, and audits of formulaic prose. Commercial-choice
  copy stays here, even when it is long.
- `effective-web`: page hierarchy, interface copy, implementation, analytics,
  experiment variants, accessibility, browser verification, originality review,
  and legal/consent/disclosure requirements.
- `effective-delivery`: repository-derived technical facts, executable examples,
  and controlled-language documentation.

Use qualified legal, privacy, or statistical review when the decision exceeds
the available evidence and competence.
