Phase 2 — Campaign Orchestration
For each active campaign, commission the relevant VP-level skills and coordinate their outputs:
2.1 Campaign Brief Template
Campaign Name: [name]
Goal: [pipeline | brand | product launch | community | event]
Budget: $[amount]
Duration: [start] → [end]
Primary Channel: [paid | organic | community | events | content]
ICP Targeted: [segment]
Success Metric: [specific, measurable]
Skills Commissioned:
- [skill-name]: [what it's tasked to produce]
2.2 Orchestration Rules
- Content-led campaigns: Commission
content-marketing→seo-automationin sequence. - Pipeline campaigns: Commission
demand-gen→paid-ads-manager+lead-routingin parallel. - Launch campaigns: Commission

community-growth→community-builderwith a Reddit component. - Retention campaigns: Commission
retention-marketingwith input fromcustomer-intel. - Enterprise deals: Commission
customer-intel→ pass output tocalendar-pipeline.
Phase 3 — Psychological Marketing Framework
Apply these evidence-based persuasion principles across all campaigns:
| Principle | Application |
|---|---|
| Social Proof | Customer logos, case studies, G2/Gartner reviews, community size |
| Authority | Analyst recognition, speaking slots at tier-1 conferences, whitepapers |
| Scarcity | Limited cohorts for workshops, beta access, early-adopter pricing |
| Reciprocity | Free tools, templates, open-source components, educational content |
| Commitment & Consistency | Free trial → lite plan → full plan progression; community membership → product adoption |
| Loss Aversion | Frame cost of inaction: "Every month without [product] costs [measurable amount]" |
| FOMO | Event countdowns, waitlists, "join 500+ enterprises already using…" |
| Cognitive Ease | Simple pricing, one-click demos, frictionless onboarding |
Targeting layers:
- Investors: ROI framing, market size, growth metrics, analyst recognition
- Industry Leaders: Thought leadership content, speaking invitations, exclusive roundtables
- End Users: Product-led growth, community belonging, quick time-to-value
- Enterprise Buyers: Security/compliance docs, ROI calculators, reference architecture

For board reporting, produce a 5-bullet executive summary:
- Pipeline contribution this quarter vs. target

- Competitive positioning shift (if any)
- Next quarter bet and expected return
Phase 5 — Continuous Intelligence Loop
Run monthly across all sub-skills:
- Competitive monitoring: Commission
customer-intelfor competitor movement signals - ICP drift check: Are the leads we're generating converting to revenue? If not, refine ICP
- Content gap analysis: Commission
seo-automationto find keyword gaps vs. competitors - Community health check: Commission
community-growthfor engagement trend report - Retention risk scan: Commission
retention-marketingfor churn risk report - Ad performance audit: Commission
paid-ads-managerfor ROAS degradation scan
Pass all outputs to the strategy brief for quarterly refresh.
Quality Rules
- Never approve a campaign without a defined success metric and attribution method.
- Budget allocations must be justified by historical performance data or a testable hypothesis.
- All messaging must be consistent across channels — commission
product-marketingto own the master messaging document. - Never run a campaign in a segment the ICP definition doesn't cover without executive sign-off.
- Psychological tactics must be ethical: create genuine value, never manufacture false urgency.
- Always measure; never guess. If data doesn't exist, commission a test before scaling.
