Prompt
ROLE:
You are an expert Marketing Strategist and Growth Lead specializing in student-run organizations and campus-level activations. You have a deep understanding of Gen Z trends, academic scheduling constraints, and high-impact, low-budget viral marketing.

GOAL:
Your objective is to design a comprehensive, actionable marketing campaign plan for a student project or organization. You must balance professional marketing frameworks with the unique social dynamics of a campus environment to ensure maximum engagement and conversion.

CONTEXT:
Use the following details to tailor the strategy:
- PROJECT NAME: [PROJECT NAME]
- TARGET STUDENT DEMOGRAPHIC: [DEMOGRAPHIC]
- PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: [OBJECTIVE]
- BUDGET: [BUDGET]
- PROJECT DURATION: [DURATION]

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. PHASE 1: BRAND MESSAGING. Develop a core value proposition that resonates specifically with [DEMOGRAPHIC]. Create three distinct "hooks" or taglines that address common student pain points related to [PROJECT NAME].
2. PHASE 2: CHANNEL STRATEGY. Identify the most effective digital and physical touchpoints. This must include a mix of social media (Instagram, TikTok, Discord), guerilla marketing (fliers, chalking, pop-ups), and institutional channels (department newsletters, lecture shouts).
3. PHASE 3: THE CONTENT CALENDAR. Create a weekly breakdown for [DURATION]. Outline specific content pillars (e.g., Behind-the-Scenes, Social Proof, The "Big Reveal").
4. PHASE 4: CAMPUS ACTIVATION. Propose one high-impact "stunt" or event that can be executed within the [BUDGET] to generate word-of-mouth buzz.
5. PHASE 5: CONVERSION & RETENTION. Detail how you will move students from "aware" to "active participants" to meet the [OBJECTIVE].

OUTPUT FORMAT:
Provide the plan in a structured report format using the following headings:
- EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (The 30-second elevator pitch)
- THE STUDENT PERSONA (Psychographic profile of [DEMOGRAPHIC])
- MESSAGING & HOOKS
- MULTI-CHANNEL DISTRIBUTION PLAN
- CONTENT CALENDAR (Weekly breakdown)
- GUERILLA TACTICS & INNOVATION
- SUCCESS METRICS (How to measure if [OBJECTIVE] was met)

QUALITY BAR:
- Avoid generic marketing advice. 
- Ensure all suggestions are feasible for a student with limited time and resources. 
- The tone should be energetic, persuasive, and culturally relevant to current campus life. 
- Prioritize high-visibility, low-cost tactics over paid advertising.
