Capabilities

When to Use

Trigger phrases:

• "referral program"

• "Building marketing campaigns and funnels"

• "Optimizing conversion and retention"

• "Scaling acquisition channels"

• Building marketing campaigns and funnels

• Optimizing conversion and retention

• Scaling acquisition channels

Common Patterns

1. Test with small budgets before scaling
2. Track attribution and ROI religiously
3. A/B test everything — headlines, CTAs, offers

How to Use

1. Define campaign objective and target KPIs
2. Set up tracking and attribution (UTMs, pixels, events)
3. Create campaign assets (copy, creatives, landing pages)
4. Launch with small budget for testing
5. Monitor metrics daily, optimize underperformers
6. Scale winners, pause losers, document learnings

When NOT to Use

• Task is about sales, not marketing (use sales skills)
• Task is about product development (use product skills)
• You need to analyze marketing data (use analytics skills)
• Task is about customer support (use support skills)
• You don't have marketing assets
• Task requires legal review (consult legal)

Red Flags

• Metrics declining 3+ days: Investigate funnel leaks or audience fatigue
• Ad spend with zero conversions: Pause and review targeting/creative
• Email open rates below 15%: Subject lines or sender reputation issue
• Bounce rate above 70%: Landing page mismatch or slow load times
• Attribution gaps: Missing UTM parameters or broken tracking pixels

Process

# Example: SEO keyword analysis
def analyze_keywords(keywords: list[str]) -> list[dict]:
    results = []
    for kw in keywords:
        volume = get_search_volume(kw)
        difficulty = get_difficulty(kw)
        results.append({
            "keyword": kw,
            "volume": volume,
            "difficulty": difficulty,
            "opportunity": volume / max(difficulty, 1),
        })
    return sorted(results, key=lambda x: x["opportunity"], reverse=True)

1. Analyze the task requirements
2. Apply domain expertise
3. Verify output quality

Anti-Rationalization Table

Rationalization	Reality
"Good products sell themselves"	They do not. Marketing is how people discover your product.
"I will start marketing after launch"	Build audience before launch. Pre-launch momentum is critical.
"SEO is dead"	SEO evolves. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the new frontier.
