AI for Social Media Coordinator
Writing 20–30 unique captions per week, each adapted for Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and TikTok, is where creative burnout starts — and monthly analytics reports add another 2–3 hours of narrative writing per client on top. These guides show you how to generate platform-specific captions in minutes, turn performance data into client-ready reports, and build a content system that keeps quality up even on the weeks when inspiration runs dry.

Five headline options and three body copy variations with different emotional angles — ready to load into Meta Ads Manager or Google Ads for split testing.
Write Meta ad copy for: [product or offer, e.g., "20% off flash sale on a meal kit delivery service"]. Target audience: [e.g., "busy parents aged 28-45"]. Write 5 headline options (under 40 chars each) and 3 body copy variations using these angles: urgency, family benefit, and convenience. Primary text under 125 chars.
View full prompt →Tip: Include specific character count limits if the platform requires them — Meta and Google have strict maximums. Swap in your actual brand name and product details before loading into Ads Manager; the placeholders are intentional.
Six social-ready content assets pulled from one blog post: Instagram captions, a LinkedIn post, a Twitter/X thread outline, and carousel slide concepts.
Here's a blog post: [paste full article text or key points]. Turn it into: 3 Instagram caption ideas (each a different angle from the article), 1 LinkedIn post (professional tone, 150 words, include a key takeaway), 1 Twitter/X thread outline (5-7 tweets), and 2 Instagram carousel concepts (title + 5 slide headlines each).
View full prompt →Tip: Paste the full article text rather than describing it — Claude's context window handles long pieces well and extractions are far more specific. The carousel concepts will need visual treatment decisions from you; the thread is usually closest to ready-to-use.
Ten campaign concept directions — each with a theme, suggested content formats, and a core message — so you walk into the planning meeting with real options instead of a blank page.
Brainstorm 10 social media campaign concepts for [holiday/season, e.g., "back-to-school season in August"] for [brand description, e.g., "an online stationery and planner brand targeting organized professionals and students"]. For each concept include: campaign theme (2-4 words), core message, and 2 suggested content formats. Think beyond the obvious — include at least 3 unexpected angles.
View full prompt →Tip: Include "at least 3 unexpected angles" in the prompt — it forces past the obvious concepts. Add "avoid concepts requiring heavy production or custom photography" if you're working with limited creative resources.
A structured competitive intelligence summary — content themes, engagement patterns, and content gaps your client brand can exploit — based on your monitoring notes.
Here are my observations from watching [Competitor Name]'s [platform] over the past [timeframe]: [paste your notes, even rough bullet points]. Summarize their content strategy in 3 bullet points, identify their top 3 most-engaged content types, and suggest 3 content angles my client brand could use that this competitor isn't doing.
View full prompt →Tip: Even rough monitoring notes work here — "mostly product posts, one viral meme at 2k likes" is enough. If you track multiple competitors, run the prompt for each one separately, then ask "what is the single biggest white-space opportunity across all of these?"
15 content ideas organized by your brand's pillars, each with a suggested format — so you have a week's worth of material to pull from before you start writing.
I manage social media for [brief brand description, e.g., "a sustainable activewear brand targeting women 25-40"]. Content pillars: [list 3-4 pillars, e.g., "product features, workout tips, sustainability, user stories"]. Generate 15 content ideas for this week. Include a suggested format (Reel, carousel, static image, Story, or text post) for each.
View full prompt →Tip: If the ideas feel generic, add one specific sentence about your audience's interests — "our audience loves behind-the-scenes manufacturing content" — and run it again. The second pass with that context is almost always stronger than the first.
Two to three response statement options — one for a public comment/post, one for a direct message — that acknowledge the issue, communicate your position clearly, and protect your brand's reputation.
Our brand is dealing with this situation: [describe what happened, e.g., "a product batch had a quality defect and multiple customers posted complaints on Instagram"]. Our stance: [e.g., "we're replacing all affected orders and investigating the issue"]. Write 2 response versions: (1) a public comment reply we can post under the complaints (under 100 words, calm and transparent), (2) a DM reply for customers who contact us directly (under 150 words, empathetic and with next steps). Brand tone: [e.g., "honest and caring, not corporate"].
View full prompt →Tip: Read both drafts carefully before posting — factual details like what you're offering and who to contact must be accurate, and only you know those specifics. Use this when pressure is high to get a first draft fast, then edit rather than writing from scratch.
Two or three ready-to-use response options — one warm and empathetic, one brief and professional — that you can copy-paste and lightly personalize before sending.
A customer sent us this message: "[paste the exact comment or DM]". Our brand voice is [e.g., "warm but professional"]. Our policy on this issue is: [e.g., "7-10 day shipping, refunds within 30 days"]. Write 2 response options: one empathetic and detailed, one brief and friendly. Keep both under 100 words.
View full prompt →Tip: Specify whether it's a public comment or a DM — the right tone differs significantly. Add "this is a public comment — tone should be transparent and calm" for anything visible on your feed; the AI will calibrate accordingly.
Three subject line options, preview text, and a complete email newsletter body ready to paste into Mailchimp, Klaviyo, or HubSpot.
Write a [200-word / 300-word] email newsletter for [brand name]. Topic: [what this email is about, e.g., "announcing a new 6-week beginner yoga series starting April 1"]. Call to action: [e.g., "sign up at our website"]. Brand tone: [e.g., "warm, encouraging, community-focused"]. Include: 3 subject line options, preview text (under 90 chars), and the full body copy.
View full prompt →Tip: Give a specific topic rather than "our latest news" — generic inputs produce generic copy. Add one detail that only your brand would have and ask the AI to weave it in; it makes the email feel authentic rather than templated.
A set of 15-20 hashtags organized into three tiers — niche, mid-size, and broad — so your post has reach potential at every level without the repetitive defaults you've been using for months.
Generate a tiered Instagram hashtag set for this post: [describe the post topic and the brand niche, e.g., "a new autumn latte launch for an independent coffee shop in Austin, TX"]. Create: 5 niche/hyperlocal hashtags (under 50k posts), 5 mid-size community hashtags (50k-500k posts), and 5 broad discovery hashtags (over 500k posts). Add one sentence explaining why each tier matters.
View full prompt →Tip: Verify actual post counts in Instagram's search before finalizing — the AI doesn't have real-time data. The niche tier is where you'll find the most useful suggestions; the broad ones you likely already know.
Four ready-to-use captions for Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok/Reels, and Twitter/X — all from one input, each tuned to the platform's tone.
Write captions for this content: [describe the post topic or asset]. Brand voice: [e.g., approachable and fun, professional but warm]. Give me versions for: Instagram (casual, emoji ok, 150 chars), LinkedIn (professional, 200 chars), TikTok (punchy hook first, 100 chars), Twitter/X (direct, under 240 chars).
View full prompt →Tip: Be specific about brand voice — "approachable and fun" produces better results than "professional." If the voice isn't landing, try "witty and irreverent" or "warm and educational" until you find what clicks for your brand.
A polished 200-word client-ready summary with highlights, context, and 2-3 actionable recommendations — written from your numbers in under a minute.
Write a client-ready social media performance summary for [month]. Data: [paste key metrics, e.g., "Reach: 42,000 (+18% MoM), Engagement rate: 4.2% (up from 3.1%), Followers gained: +320, Top post: product launch video with 8,200 reach"]. Client goal: [e.g., "grow brand awareness and drive website traffic"]. Keep it under 200 words. Include 2-3 recommendations.
View full prompt →Tip: Always adjust the recommendations to match your actual planned strategy — that's the section most likely to drift from reality. If your next month's focus has shifted, add "our focus next month is Reels — adjust recommendations accordingly."
Ten opening lines for short-form video, each using a different proven hook style — so you have options for whatever video concept you're executing this week.
I'm making a TikTok/Reel about [video topic, e.g., "how we source our coffee beans from Ethiopia"]. Brand: [brief description, e.g., "small-batch specialty coffee brand"]. Write 10 opening hook lines using these styles: question, bold claim, POV:, curiosity gap, "stop scrolling if you", direct challenge, surprising fact, "you're doing X wrong", storytelling opener, controversy/hot take. Keep each under 15 words.
View full prompt →Tip: Try "POV:" and curiosity gap hooks first for product or lifestyle content — they tend to outperform others in that category. The "you're doing X wrong" format works best for educational or how-to content.
