Instructions your experts follow when using this skill.
Run this when selling media, sponsorships, or programmatic — the full cycle from plan to proposal to insertion order (IO) to measured renewal.
The brief or RFP, the audience and success metrics, the budget and flight dates, the inventory or sponsorships in play, and the measurement setup (tracking pixels, mobile measurement partners, brand-lift studies).
The plan shows audience, mix, and why; the proposal prices it; the negotiation trades rate against value-adds; the insertion order locks flight, spend, and success metrics. Each step is dated with a buyer owner. Label the io_state planned, live, or wrapped as the IO moves.
Fixed calendar slots, creative specs and deadlines, and what happens if creative lands late. Scarcity is stated as FACT with the calendar attached, never as pressure copy.
Tracking pixels or mobile measurement partners placed, a setup check that fires and attributes correctly, and a media-plan challenge pass that asks what breaks if one placement underperforms.
The hypothesis, the control, the read date. Pair delivery metrics with brand-lift and conversion-lift studies and ad-effectiveness reads, so the renewal story is measurement, not impressions.
What was bought, what delivered, what it did to the success metric, and what changes next flight. Run account audits on pacing and delivery while live, not after.
Shift working spend to working placements, name the upsell only where the data supports it, and draft the next insertion order from the measured read. Programmatic lines (guaranteed, private marketplace, open auction) get their own floor, pacing, and brand-safety notes.
Plan-to-insertion-order package with dated steps, tracking checklist with setup proof, in-flight optimization log, post-campaign report, and a renewal draft tied to measurement.
No success metric in the brief: propose one from the buyer's stated goal labeled INFERENCE and get their yes before planning. No tracking access: the launch checklist stays blocked until it lands.
Nothing goes to the buyer, no rate, bonus, or make-good is promised, and nothing about tracking is configured — no pixel, no MMP, no postback — without your explicit yes.

When the user wants to create or update their product marketing context document. Also use when the user mentions 'product context,' 'marketing context,' 'set up context,' 'positioning,' 'who is my target audience,' 'describe my product,' 'ICP,' 'ideal customer profile,' or wants to avoid repeating foundational information across marketing tasks. Use this at the start of any new project before using other marketing skills — it creates `.agents/product-marketing.md` that all other skills reference for product, audience, and positioning context.
When the user wants to research, profile, or analyze competitors from their URLs. Also use when the user mentions 'competitor profile,' 'competitor research,' 'competitor analysis,' 'profile this competitor,' 'analyze competitor,' 'competitive intelligence,' 'competitor deep dive,' 'who are my competitors,' 'competitor landscape,' 'competitor dossier,' 'competitive audit,' or 'research these competitors.' Input is a list of competitor URLs. Output is structured competitor profile markdown files. For creating comparison/alternative pages from profiles, see competitors. For sales-specific battle cards, see sales-enablement.
When the user wants to conduct, analyze, or synthesize customer research. Use when the user mentions "customer research," "ICP research," "talk to customers," "analyze transcripts," "customer interviews," "survey analysis," "support ticket analysis," "voice of customer," "VOC," "build personas," "customer personas," "jobs to be done," "JTBD," "what do customers say," "what are customers struggling with," "Reddit mining," "G2 reviews," "review mining," "digital watering holes," "community research," "forum research," "competitor reviews," "customer sentiment," "PMF survey," "product/market fit survey," "customer interview questions," "interview outreach," "Sales Safari," or "find out why customers churn/convert/buy." Use for analyzing existing research assets, mining online sources, AND running primary research (interviews and surveys). For writing copy informed by research, see copywriting. For acting on research to improve pages, see cro.
