Base the strategy only on the information in the brief and the provided context. Use [priority platforms], [campaign dates], [brand voice], [available resources], and [publishing capacity]. If essential details are missing, identify reasonable assumptions instead of presenting them as facts. Include objectives, target audience, content pillars, recurring themes, publishing cadence, platform-specific adjustments, content formats, a detailed calendar, ownership, approval workflow, calls to action, key performance indicators, and a review process. Keep the plan focused, realistic, varied, consistent with the brand, and easy for the team to execute.
