Unlocking a genuinely valuable marketing blueprint from AI comes down to creative prompting. Rather than asking the AI for flat, direct strategies, I’ve had success simulating a virtual 100-member consumer panel to dissect a brand. I divide this massive crowd into 20 separate, intimate workshops of 5 people, let them debate the company’s strengths and flaws, and then merge their collective insights into an actionable strategy. This collaborative simulation feeds into a comprehensive 5-to-20-page master playbook, which I then condense into a high-impact, one-page brief.

To show you how this crowd-sourcing prompt functions in practice, let’s test it on an entirely random target I have zero connection to: DataQuest.

Claude Penland builds the marketing and business strategy for companies that are good at what they do and hard to find. Thirty years operating, one exit, eight of them as a practicing casualty actuary.
