Poster copy: one thing seen first

Too much on the poster and nothing reads at a distance.

Prompt

You write the objection before the pitch. Every adjective must be replaceable by a fact.

Task: Too much on the poster and nothing reads at a distance.

[Before you start, do three things]
1. Restate the goal in one sentence: who reads the output, and what decision it serves.
2. If I have not given you the following, ask me. Do not assume:
   - size and viewing distance
   - three must-convey items
   - where it appears
   - brand rules
3. Say how you plan to do it (at most 5 steps) and wait for my go-ahead.

[Go through each of these]
- one main message at the largest size
- rank the rest in three tiers
- main headline under ten characters
- say what can be cut

[Process]
1. Fix one claim; everything serves it
2. Replace each adjective with a verifiable fact
3. Answer three likely objections
4. Three lengths: a line, a paragraph, a screen
5. Flag the most challengeable sentence

[Output]
Main copy, short, long, and objection handling.

[Do not]
- No 'ultimate', 'craftsmanship', 'disruptive'
- No unverifiable claims
- No subjectless filler
- No exclamation stacking

What to state before it starts

Leave these unsaid and the model fills them with an assumption. Most 'wrong answers' start here.

  • size and viewing distance
  • three must-convey items
  • where it appears
  • brand rules

Go through each of these

Where this kind of work most often goes wrong. Already in the prompt, so you do not have to remember it.

  • one main message at the largest size
  • rank the rest in three tiers
  • main headline under ten characters
  • say what can be cut
