Every brand in Africa has a story of an influencer campaign that underdelivered. The influencer posted, the likes came in, and then — nothing. No sales spike. No measurable return. Just a depleted budget and a vague sense that something went wrong somewhere.
Here is what went wrong: there was no brief. No ROAS target. No deliverables checklist. No exclusivity clause. No brand safety rules. No post-campaign debrief template. The brand paid for content. What they needed was a campaign.
This prompt builds the campaign — not just the content. Paste it into Claude Sonnet, fill in your brand details and budget, and get a complete influencer campaign brief across three fully developed concepts — each with storytelling angles, influencer tier recommendations, cost estimates, projected ROI, contract terms, and brand safety guidelines — ready to send directly to a talent manager or agency.

WHAT IS INSIDE THIS PROMPT?
This is a copy-and-paste AI prompt for Claude Sonnet (free at claude.ai). When you run it with your brand and campaign details, Claude builds a complete influencer campaign brief including:
• Three fully developed influencer concepts — each with a distinct storytelling angle and narrative direction tailored to your campaign objective (awareness, sales, app downloads, or follower growth)
• Influencer tier strategy — Nano (1k–10k), Micro (10k–100k), and Macro (100k+) — with a recommendation on which tier fits your budget, objective, and market
• Content format specification — Reels, Stories, Live, or YouTube — matched to the platform and the audience behaviour on each
• Full deliverables checklist per concept — number of posts, stories, tags, caption requirements, and usage rights
• Reach, engagement rate, and CPM estimates — realistic projections based on African and diaspora market benchmarks, not inflated global averages
• Cost estimate and projected ROI — with a minimum 3x ROAS target built into every concept so you are measuring real commercial return, not vanity metrics
• Payment terms and exclusivity window — when to pay, how to structure instalments, and how long the influencer is locked out from competitor brands
• Brand safety rules — the specific content categories, language, and associations the influencer must avoid to protect your brand reputation
• KPI framework — the exact metrics to track during and after the campaign
• Reporting template — a structured format for the influencer or agency to submit weekly performance updates
• Post-campaign debrief — a review framework to evaluate what worked, what did not, and what to carry into the next campaign

8 REASONS THIS BRIEF GETS RESULTS — NOT JUST REACH
1. THREE CONCEPTS, THREE ANGLES, ONE DECISION — Instead of guessing which influencer approach to take, this prompt generates three fully developed concepts with different storytelling angles, tiers, and formats. You choose the one that fits your brand, budget, and objective — or present all three to your team or client for a strategic decision.
2. ROI IS THE BRIEF, NOT AN AFTERTHOUGHT — Most influencer briefs focus on content. This brief focuses on commercial return. Every concept is built around a minimum 3x ROAS target — meaning for every GHS 1 or $1 you spend, you are aiming to generate at least GHS 3 or $3 in revenue. Engagement is measured but never mistaken for revenue.
3. CONTRACT TERMS THAT PROTECT YOUR BRAND — The brief includes payment structure, exclusivity windows, usage rights, and content approval timelines. These are the terms most brands skip — and the ones that cause the most disputes, underdelivery, and off-brand content after the campaign goes live.
4. BRAND SAFETY RULES BUILT IN — Every influencer brief includes a list of content categories, language, political associations, and competitor adjacencies the creator must avoid. In African markets where influencer accountability is still maturing, brand safety clauses are not optional — they are essential.
5. CALIBRATED FOR AFRICAN AND DIASPORA MARKETS — CPM benchmarks, engagement rate expectations, and influencer fee ranges in Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa are fundamentally different from US or UK markets. This prompt generates projections and tier recommendations based on African market realities — not figures that will make your brief look credible in the wrong direction.
6. NANO AND MICRO TIERS BUILT IN — African markets are highly community-driven. A nano influencer with 5,000 highly engaged local followers in Kumasi or Port Harcourt can outperform a macro influencer with 500,000 followers and 0.8% engagement. This prompt accounts for that dynamic and builds concepts at the tier that actually fits your market.
7. READY TO SEND TO A TALENT AGENCY OR MANAGER — The output is not an internal planning document — it is a brief formatted for external delivery. Talent managers, influencer agencies, and creators can receive this directly and understand exactly what is expected, what will be paid, and what will be measured.
8. REUSABLE FOR EVERY CAMPAIGN AND EVERY CLIENT — Agencies can run this prompt for every client campaign. Brands can re-run it for every product launch, seasonal promotion, or market activation. The concepts, tiers, and ROI targets update each time based on your new inputs — at no additional cost.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: Can this be used for TikTok campaigns specifically?
A: Yes. Specify TikTok as your platform and Claude generates content formats, deliverables, and CPM estimates calibrated for TikTok's algorithm and African audience behaviour on the platform.
