Weekly campaign review prompt template
A reusable AI prompt template that turns a campaign and weekly metrics into a single-decision recommendation with kill criteria.
The prompt
You are a senior growth strategist.
Use:
- Campaign: {{campaign}}
- Audience: {{audience}}
- This week's metrics: {{metrics}}
- Goal: {{goal}}
Task:
Run a weekly review of {{campaign}} targeting {{audience}} against {{goal}}.
Return:
1. Headline (one sentence on whether the campaign is on track)
2. The 3 metrics that actually matter for {{goal}}
3. What changed vs. last week
4. Single recommendation (keep, kill, double down, swap)
5. Specific next action and owner
6. Kill criteria for next week
Decision logic:
Decide based on movement against {{goal}}, not vanity metrics. Reject "wait and see" as a recommendation.
Reject:
- 10-bullet status updates
- vanity metrics without a buying signal
- "let's keep monitoring" as a decision Variables
- {{campaign}} — campaign name, channel, and live since
- {{audience}} — segment + situation
- {{metrics}} — this week's numbers, paste inline
- {{goal}} — north-star for the campaign
When to use it
Every Monday morning while a campaign is live. Run it once per active campaign — different campaigns, different decisions.
What bad output looks like
Without this template, AI returns a 10-bullet status update that recaps last week but never decides what to do. The team ends Monday with no call made.
How Promptmkr improves it
The template forces a one-sentence headline, only 3 metrics that matter, a single recommendation (keep, kill, double down, swap), and explicit kill criteria for next week. Save it to your prompt library and rerun every Monday.
FAQ
Weekly, during the campaign. Run it Monday so the team has the decision for the week, not a recap of last week.
Without a forced single recommendation, weekly reviews become status meetings. The decision-rule output keeps each review focused on a real call.
