Core Concepts

The skill operates on a framework of categorized marketing strategies that adapt to your context.

Strategy Categories

Category	Focus Area	Example Tactics
Content Marketing	Organic reach through valuable content	Blog series, whitepapers, case studies, podcasts
Community Building	Engagement and word-of-mouth	Forums, Discord servers, user groups, events
Growth Hacking	Rapid experimentation for growth	Viral loops, referral programs, product-led growth
Partnership Marketing	Leverage other audiences	Co-marketing, integrations, affiliate programs
Paid Acquisition	Targeted advertising	PPC, social ads, sponsored content, retargeting
SEO & Distribution	Long-term organic visibility	Programmatic SEO, link building, content syndication

Stage-Based Recommendations

The skill adjusts recommendations based on where you are:

Pre-launch → Build waitlist, validate messaging, seed communities
Early stage (0-100 users) → Focus on direct outreach, founder-led sales, content
Growth stage (100-1K) → Double down on what works, add paid channels
Scale stage (1K-10K) → Systematize processes, hire specialists, diversify
Mature (10K+) → Optimize unit economics, explore new markets, brand building

Idea Scoring

Each idea is scored on three dimensions:

Dimension	Low (1-3)	Medium (4-6)	High (7-10)
Impact	Minor visibility boost	Measurable traffic/leads	Significant revenue driver
Effort	Few hours, one person	Days of work, small team	Weeks of work, multiple teams
Cost	Free or under $100/mo	$100-$1,000/mo	$1,000+/mo

Configuration

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
industry	string	"saas"	Your industry vertical for relevant ideas
stage	string	"growth"	Company stage: pre-launch, early, growth, scale, mature

Best Practices

1. Start with context — Share your product, audience, current metrics, and budget before asking for ideas. The more context you provide, the more relevant the suggestions.

2. Prioritize ruthlessly — Don't try to execute 20 ideas at once. Pick 2-3 high-impact, low-effort ideas and execute them well before moving on.

3. Match ideas to your stage — Pre-launch companies shouldn't run paid ads. Scale-stage companies shouldn't rely solely on founder-led outreach. Let the stage guide your choices.

4. Track and iterate — Ask the skill to help you set up tracking for each idea so you can measure what works and double down on winners.

5. Combine complementary tactics — The best results come from layering strategies. Pair content marketing with SEO, or community building with referral programs.

Common Issues

Getting too many generic ideas — Be specific about constraints. Instead of "give me marketing ideas," say "give me 5 ideas for acquiring enterprise customers in fintech with a $2K monthly budget and no marketing team."

Ideas don't fit my market — Specify your target customer precisely. B2B enterprise marketing differs dramatically from B2C consumer marketing. Include your ICP (ideal customer profile) in your prompt.

Overwhelmed by options — Ask the skill to rank ideas by a single dimension that matters most to you, such as "rank by lowest cost first" or "rank by fastest time to results."
