Warm-Up Demos
Demos 1–2 — Get the Room Hooked Fast
Demo 1 · 5 minBeverage Industry Trend Briefing (Web Reasoning)▼
Skill shown: Web grounding, structured output. Files
needed: None.
Prompt 1 — Quick trend scan
Act as a senior marketing strategist for a non-alcoholic
beverage company. Give me the top 5 consumer trends shaping the beverage
industry right now — functional ingredients, premium positioning,
sustainability, gen-Z preferences, and anything else that’s gaining
momentum. For each trend include a one-sentence “why it matters for
marketing” implication. Keep it concise and use bullet points.
Prompt 2 — Drill in
Take the top trend you just listed and expand it. What is
the size of the opportunity, who are 3 brands leading the trend, what messaging
themes are working, and what is one risk a marketer should plan around? Cite
your sources.
Prompt 3 — Make it actionable
Now turn this into a 90-second talking-points memo I could
read aloud at a Monday marketing stand-up. Lead with the headline, give 3
supporting facts, and end with one decision I want the team to make this week.
Demo 2 · 5 minBuild a Buyer Persona for a New Sparkling Beverage▼
Skill shown: Iterative prompting, role framing.
Files needed: None.
Prompt 1 — Frame the persona
I’m launching a new line of premium sparkling water
with adaptogens (think mood-and-focus benefits) priced 30% above mainstream
sparkling water. Build a primary buyer persona for this product. Include: name,
age range, occupation, lifestyle, motivations, where they hang out online, the
brands they already trust, and 3 emotional triggers a marketer can pull. Make
it feel like a real person, not a stat sheet.
Prompt 2 — Add the secondary persona
Now create a contrasting secondary persona who would also
buy this product but for very different reasons. Highlight where the messaging
needs to flex between the two personas.
Prompt 3 — Stress-test the persona
Pressure-test the primary persona. Where is it weak or
potentially stereotypical? What 3 questions should I validate with real
customer research before I bet a campaign budget on this profile?

Content Creation
Demos 3–5 — From One Idea to a Full Content Set
Demo 3 · 6 minMulti-Channel Campaign for a Craft Soda Launch▼
I’m launching a craft soda called “Glasshouse”
— a small-batch botanical soda with hibiscus, ginger, and a touch of cane
sugar. Target audience is 25–40 year olds who care about real ingredients
and design-forward brands. Write a 90-word launch announcement that I can use
as the press-release lead paragraph. Make it confident, sensory, and avoid
clichés like “shake up the industry.”
Prompt 2 — The content stack
Now adapt the same launch into 4 different formats: (1) an
Instagram caption with 5 relevant hashtags, (2) a 2-line LinkedIn post for our
founder, (3) a 280-character X post with strong hook, (4) a 4-line
headline-and-subhead for a paid Meta ad. Keep brand voice consistent across all
four.
Prompt 3 — The retailer pitch email
Draft a 150-word email from our brand manager to a regional
grocery chain’s beverage buyer, pitching Glasshouse for a 90-day pilot in
25 stores. Lead with what’s in it for them (margin, foot traffic,
demographic fit), not a feature list. Include a clear next-step ask.
Prompt 4 — The 6-week activation plan
Build a 6-week launch activation plan as a week-by-week
table. Columns: Week, Theme, Owner, Channels, Key Asset, Success Metric. Make
Week 1 a teaser, Weeks 2–3 the launch peak, Weeks 4–5 momentum, and
Week 6 a community/UGC push.
Demo 4 · 6 minCompetitive Brand Teardown▼
Skill shown: Web grounding, structured competitive analysis.
Files needed: None — pure web grounding.
Prompt 1 — Map the competitive field
Map the top 5 premium hard-seltzer brands competing for
25–45 year-old drinkers right now. For each: positioning line, hero flavor,
channel mix (DTC, retail, on-premise), and one signature campaign in the last
12 months with what made it work. Cite sources for any specific claim.
Prompt 2 — Find the white space
Where are all 5 starting to sound the same? Identify three
positioning gaps that none of them are owning, and for each gap describe the
underlying audience tension it would solve. Be specific — “wellness”
is not a gap; “low-effort hydration that still feels celebratory”
is.
Prompt 3 — Stress-test the angle
Pick the most defensible gap from the previous answer. Give
me three reasons it could fail, three early signals we’d watch in market,
and one cheap pilot we could run in 30 days to validate or kill the idea before
committing real budget.
Write a 300-word press release announcing “Glasshouse”
— a small-batch botanical soda made with hibiscus, ginger, and cane sugar,
launching summer 2026 in 25 markets. Include a quote from the founder, a
sensory product description, and a clear news hook. Tone: confident,
journalistic, no marketing-speak.
Prompt 2 — Internal sales rally email
Now rewrite the same story as a 200-word internal email to
the field sales team. Energetic and direct. Focus on what’s in it for
them: margin expectations, demo support available, launch incentives. Bullet
the top three “how to sell it” moves they can use this week.
Prompt 3 — Retail buyer one-pager
Convert the same story into a one-page retailer pitch for a
national grocery buyer. Lead with category data and consumer trend tailwinds,
then shelf positioning, then a 90-day pilot ask in 25 stores. Tone:
numbers-first, confident, no fluff. End with a clear yes/no decision the buyer
can make.
Prompt 4 — Social caption set
Finally, write five social captions about the launch —
2 Instagram, 2 LinkedIn, 1 TikTok hook. Each one ≤180 characters, no hashtag
soup, and each one a distinct angle: heritage, ritual, ingredients, taste,
craft. Don’t repeat phrases across captions.

File-Grounded
Demos 6–7 — Reasoning Over Your Own Files
💡 Reminder
In Copilot Chat (Basic), uploaded files are supported — just drag a
file into the chat. That’s the work-data substitute for non-licensed users.
I’ve uploaded a Q1 marketing performance file for a
beverage brand. Read every tab. Give me a 6-bullet executive summary: total
spend, total revenue attributed, blended ROAS, top-performing channel,
weakest-performing channel, and the single biggest surprise in the data.
Prompt 2 — Find the story
Now go deeper. Compare campaigns by channel and audience
segment. Where are we overspending relative to revenue returned? Where do we
have hidden upside — campaigns with weak spend but strong conversion?
Give me 3 specific reallocation moves I should make next quarter, each with the
rationale grounded in numbers from the file.
Prompt 3 — Build the executive narrative
Turn your analysis into a 200-word executive narrative I
can paste into a quarterly review email to my CMO. Lead with the headline
result, support it with 3 numbers, and end with the recommended decision and
what we need approval on.
I’ve uploaded open-ended survey responses from
beverage customers. Identify the top 5 recurring themes. For each theme, give
me: a name, a one-sentence summary, the approximate share of responses that
mention it, and one direct quote that captures the sentiment best.
Prompt 2 — Find what’s surprising
What did customers say that we were NOT expecting? Look for
unusual mentions — packaging complaints, surprising use occasions,
unexpected emotional language, or themes that contradict our usual assumptions
about beverage buyers. Be specific and quote them.
Prompt 3 — Convert to creative inspiration
Now turn those themes into 3 creative campaign concepts a
creative team could brief out. For each concept, give it a name, a one-line
idea, the core insight from the survey it’s built on, and the headline
tagline.

Outlook & Memory
Demos 8–9 — Make Copilot Yours
Demo 8 · 5 minCopilot Chat in Outlook — Manage the Marketing Inbox▼
Skill shown: Outlook reasoning over inbox & calendar
(non-licensed). Where to run: Outlook web, new Outlook on Windows,
Mac, or mobile.
Prompt 1 — Catch up on the morning
Summarize my unread emails from the last 24 hours by
priority. Group them into: (1) needs a reply today, (2) FYI / no action needed,
(3) can be archived. For each item in group 1, give me a one-sentence reply
suggestion I could send.
Prompt 2 — Pull marketing-specific signals
Across my inbox, find anything related to our upcoming
product launch. Pull out: open questions waiting on me, decisions that have
been made, deadlines mentioned, and anyone who looks blocked. Format as a
one-page status digest.
Prompt 3 — Calendar prep
Look at my calendar for tomorrow. For each meeting, tell
me: who’s in it, what it’s about based on related emails, what I
should prepare, and one smart question I could ask to add value.
Prompt 4 — Draft a follow-up
Find the most recent thread about our packaging redesign.
Draft a follow-up email summarizing what was decided, listing open items, and
proposing a 30-minute working session next week to close the remaining
questions. Match the tone of the previous emails in the thread.
Please remember the following about my role so future
answers fit my context: I work in marketing for a beverage company. My audience
is mostly 25–45 year-old consumers. I write for an internal CMO audience
and external trade press. I prefer outputs in concise bullets, with a one-line
“headline” before any list, and I always want a clear “what
to decide” at the end.
Prompt 2 — Teach it your brand voice
Remember our brand voice rules: confident but never cocky,
sensory and specific over abstract, no buzzwords like “synergy” or
“leverage,” prefer active verbs, and always avoid clichés
like “game-changer” or “shake up the industry.”
Prompt 3 — Test the memory
Now, draft a 60-word internal note announcing that
we’re launching a new low-sugar variant of our top-selling juice. Use
what you know about my role and our brand voice.
Prompt 4 — Manage the memories
What do you currently remember about me? List everything in
your memory so I can review and clean it up.

Bonus
Demo 10 — Image Concepts for a Campaign
Demo 10 · 3 minImage Concept Generation for a Beverage Campaign▼
Skill shown: Image generation in Copilot Chat. Generated images are
for ideation only — final creative still needs the agency or in-house design
team.
Prompt 1 — Set the visual mood
Generate three early concept visuals for a summer campaign
for a premium sparkling water brand. Concept A: minimalist, editorial, lots of
negative space. Concept B: vibrant, playful, mid-century pop art. Concept C:
cinematic, golden-hour, lifestyle. No people in any of the images — just
product, environment, and mood.
Prompt 2 — Iterate on the winner
Take Concept B and produce three variations: one for a
Times Square billboard, one for an Instagram square post, and one for a
vertical mobile story. Keep the visual identity consistent.

Wrap-Up
What to Do Monday Morning
Self-PromptTry This First Thing Monday▼
Prompt — Make Copilot your weekly thinking partner
