Tips for Best Results
- 1.Customize the [BRACKETS] with specific numbers and dates—vague inputs produce generic briefs. Use actual budget figures and realistic timelines for actionable output.
- 2.Include 3-4 core messaging pillars in your input. This ensures the brief aligns UGC content with brand voice and prevents creators from veering off-brand.
- 3.Specify creator tier breakdown by percentage (e.g., 60% nano, 40% micro). This helps the AI recommend realistic budget allocation and content volume expectations.
- 4.Add any brand restrictions or compliance requirements upfront. Include hashtag preferences, product usage guidelines, and platform limitations to avoid revision cycles.
