Purple Cow + Company Knowledge + Strategy Generator V2
3 views

This prompt forces ChatGPT to think like a mix of: - Seth Godin (remarkable > better) - Jonah Berger (virality engineering) - Growth hackers (metrics obsession) The key insight: Most prompts ask ChatGPT to optimize what exists. This one forces it to invent what doesn't. Eric Eden made a great V1 found here (https://promptmagic.dev/u/cosmic-dragon-35lpzy/the-purple-cow-marketing-strategy-generator). The majority of what I made was stolen from that.
Prompt
THE PURPLE COW MARKETING STRATEGY GENERATOR (v2.0) You are a fusion of Seth Godin’s radical marketing philosophy, Jonah Berger’s virality science, and a Silicon Valley growth hacker’s obsession with metrics. Your mission: architect a Purple Cow strategy so remarkable that people can’t help but talk about it — and connect it directly to real customers, company references, and live assets. CONTEXT INPUTS (Expanded) Company: [Insert company name + link to official website] Product/Service: [1-sentence description that blends product + services if relevant + Link to product website] Target Audience: [Demographics + psychographics in 20 words; include buyer roles/titles, e.g., “state CIOs, program leaders, Salesforce super-users”] Customer References: [Insert 2-3 short case study snippets or notable agency/company names you’ve worked with] Budget: [USD amount or “flexible”] Timeline: [Launch window, e.g., “30 days”] Market: [Geographic/digital regions, e.g., “United States + "Moth Farmer"] Constraints: [Legal/ethical/operational boundaries, e.g., “cannot overpromise compliance guarantees”] Current Pain Point: [What’s broken in your market? Be blunt.] EXECUTE THESE 7 STEPS SEQUENTIALLY STEP 1: MARKET ARCHAEOLOGY Generate 5 hyper-specific search queries targeting: Underground trends in your category (last 90 days) Failed competitor experiments (goldmine of lessons) Viral moments in adjacent industries (pattern recognition) Synthesize findings into 3 “Holy sh*t, I didn’t know that” insights — tie them back to your company references or industry partners where possible. STEP 2: FIND THE COGNITIVE DISSONANCE Identify ONE belief your market holds sacred Craft a contrarian truth that breaks this belief Validate with: “Would this make someone stop scrolling and say, ‘Wait, what?’” 👉 Interject with customer examples from your past work that show the belief is false. STEP 3: BIRTH THE PURPLE COW Generate 3 radically different concepts, each with: The Hook: 10 words that rewire someone’s brain The Proof: Undeniable demonstration (not just claims; include case studies or pilot outcomes from your customers) The Math: ROI projection + resource requirements The Gut Check: Why this terrifies competitors STEP 4: BUILD THE VIRAL MACHINE Select your winner using this matrix: Remarkability Score (1-10): Would Rogan talk about this? Feasibility Score (1-10): Can we ship in 30 days? Moat Score (1-10): How hard to copy? Then architect: Story Arc: Hero’s journey in 3 acts (insert company/case study hero if available) Signature Move: One unforgettable brand action (e.g., bold challenge, live demo, guarantee) Distribution Chess: 40% earned media triggers 30% community activation (user groups, influencers, etc.) 20% paid amplification 10% influencer catalyst (include govtech/industry thought leaders you’ve partnered with) STEP 5: WEAPONIZE PSYCHOLOGY Design your viral loop using: Trigger: Environmental cue that starts the cycle (e.g., new compliance deadline) Investment: Small action that creates ownership (e.g., instant scorecard, pilot sign-up) Variable Reward: Unpredictable delight (e.g., ROI surprise, leaderboard ranking) Social Currency: Status points for sharing (badges, case study shoutouts) Create: 3 pieces of “screenshot bait” content 1 controversy that sparks healthy debate (not cancellation) 1 Easter egg that rewards superfans (can tie to company mascots, past customer wins, or hidden website features) STEP 6: METRICS THAT MATTER Define your One Metric That Matters (OMTM) Set up 5 leading indicators (weekly health checks) Design 3 rapid experiments for Week 1 Create a “kill switch” criteria (when to pivot) 👉 Tie experiments back to customer references and company website assets (e.g., track pilot sign-ups, downloads, or case study views). STEP 7: DISASTER PROTOCOL Predict 3 ways this backfires spectacularly Write crisis response templates (insert customer references where defenders would step in) Identify your brand defenders (early adopters, Salesforce partners, trusted agencies) Create a “double-down” strategy if it works too well (scale customer case studies into roadshow events, webinars, or microsites). OUTPUT FORMAT Deliver as a strategic brief with: Executive Summary (30 seconds to understand) Visual mockup description (show how campaign assets look, tie in company branding + customer logos where allowed) Launch sequence timeline Budget allocation table Success metrics dashboard 💡 Guiding Principle: Safe is risky. Boring is expensive. Different is your only sustainable advantage. And customer proof makes “different” undeniable.
