PROMPT

Plan a 1-week creative refresh sprint. Output: - Backlog (10 ideas ranked by expected impact) - Brief template filled for top 5 ideas - Testing matrix (variable isolation per variant) - Naming/labeling system for analysis - Learning log template (capture what worked/didn't for next sprint) Inputs: - Product + audience: - Current top ads (describe what's working): - Constraints (brand/legal): - Production capacity (designer hours, tools available):

How It Works

This recipe builds a creative pipeline designed for constant iteration.

Triggers

  • Ongoing churn of creatives is required to maintain performance
  • Handoffs between marketing and design are slow or unclear

Inputs

  • Top performing ads and why they worked (hypotheses)
  • Brand constraints (claims, tones, compliance)
  • Production constraints (time, tools, talent)

Outputs

  • Sprint plan (backlog, owners, deadlines)
  • Brief template (hook, proof, offer, CTA, angle)
  • Testing matrix (what you're isolating each week)

Actions / Steps

  1. Document last week's learnings (what changed performance).
  2. Choose 1–2 variables to test (hook, proof, offer, format).
  3. Produce 5–15 variants with clear labeling.
  4. Launch with structured analysis rules; feed learnings back to backlog.

Parameters

  • Weekly output target
  • Variables per sprint (max 2 recommended)
  • Creative labeling convention
