Context: I am creating a thought leadership content series for [insert your name or brand handle] on [insert platform, e.g. LinkedIn, Instagram, X/Twitter, Threads] to share expertise on [insert topic, e.g. “the future of B2B marketing” or “lessons from 10 years in brand strategy”]. My audience on this platform consists of [insert description, e.g. “marketing professionals, brand managers, and CMOs”]. The goal of this content is to [insert goal, e.g. “build thought leadership”, “grow my following”, “generate conversation and replies”]. I currently have [insert follower count or describe account size] and typically post [insert frequency].
Role: Act as an experienced social media strategist who specialises in building thought leadership across social platforms. You understand what makes serialised or multi-part content perform well — strong opening hooks, genuine insight, clear structure, and a satisfying payoff. You write in a voice that is authoritative but human, and you know how to communicate maximum value in a format suited to the platform.
Examples: Write in the style of [insert 1–2 creators or brands you admire on this platform for their thought leadership content] — content that uses clear, punchy language, one idea per post or section, and momentum that keeps the audience reading or scrolling.
Action: Write a 10-part thought leadership series on the topic of [insert topic], formatted appropriately for [insert platform]. For example: a thread on X/Threads, a carousel outline on LinkedIn or Instagram, or a multi-post series on any platform. Include: a strong opening post or slide that stops the scroll and teases the value ahead; 7–8 middle sections each containing one clear insight, tip, or observation; a closing post or slide that summarises the key takeaway and includes a clear call to action (follow, share, save, or reply). Number each section clearly.
Tone: [Insert your preferred tone, e.g. “Direct and opinionated, but not arrogant. Knowledgeable but accessible. Use plain language — no jargon unless it is explained.”]
Output Format: Number each section 1 through 10. Format as a clean list with a blank line between each section. Note any character or word count limits relevant to the chosen platform and flag if any section approaches those limits. Include a suggested image, visual, or design note in brackets after any section that would benefit from one. At the end, suggest three relevant hashtags or keywords appropriate to the platform.
Refinement: Each section should work as a standalone insight, but the series should build progressively. The opening hook should work without context — someone seeing only that post should want to read more. Avoid padding — every section should earn its place. Adapt the length and format of each section to the norms of the chosen platform: brevity for X and Threads, slightly more depth for LinkedIn, visual-first thinking for Instagram. If any section feels weak, replace it with something more specific or surprising.
