The AI prompt every lifecycle marketer should know.

What if you could instantly look inside any company’s lifecycle program? Imagine if you could choose your competitors (or even just brands you admire) to see how they think about solving their most important lifecycle use cases to understand things like:

  • The behavioral signals they’re watching
  • The data they’re activating
  • The moments they’re targeting
  • The data points they use to orchestrate personalized experiences

Every employee needs to understand the competition. And for marketers, that means knowing how they're building programs, the strategy behind it, and where they're headed next. But this is a lot of unseen labor. It's difficult to wrangle on top of your day job, and it's hard to know if you've gotten it right.

How the lifecycle prompt works

So, I built a prompt that works in any LLM to solve this exact problem. And no, it’s not your standard run-of-the-mill, single-sentence prompt. I tinkered with this for quite a while to get it just right for this hyper-specific lifecycle use case.
