<task>
Create one complete, customized video marketing strategy for [brand or product] that is ready to execute this month. Deliver it as a single, cohesive plan that connects creative concept, production workflow, distribution, and measurement into one revenue-producing system.
</task>

<context>
- Brand / product: [brand or product]
- Primary business goal: [awareness | lead generation | sales | product launch | community growth]
- Target audience: [audience description including pains, desires, and where they spend time]
- Brand voice and positioning: [brand voice, key message, proof points]
- Existing assets and team: [team, budget, footage, talent, tools]
- Primary platforms: [chosen platforms]
- Competitive references: [brands or videos to benchmark]
- Time horizon: [campaign length, e.g. 90 days]
</context>

<constraints>
- Ground every recommendation in the specific details provided above; favor their channels, audience, and constraints over generic advice.
- Prioritize the platform mix where the audience already consumes video, and justify each platform by role rather than listing them all.
- Build a repeatable content system with a manageable publishing cadence the stated team can sustain.
- Keep the concept differentiated from the competitive references while staying true to the positioning.
- Use concrete numbers for budget allocation, output volume, and target metrics; label any estimate as an assumption.
- Write for a team that will act on this immediately: specific, sequenced, and free of filler.

Strategic, energetic, and practical. Confident recommendations, plain language, and a bias toward action over theory.
