Why Claude Works for Marketing
Claude is often cited by professional copywriters as the top AI for writing. Its ability to mimic tone, follow complex formatting instructions, and produce long, coherent outputs makes it the best choice for many marketing tasks.
Long-Form Nuance
Claude maintains quality over longer word counts better than most models. It remembers context from the beginning of a conversation, making it ideal for eBooks, whitepapers, and comprehensive guides.
Tone Control
If you need to match a specific brand voice, Claude is your best bet. It picks up subtle stylistic cues from examples you provide.
No "AI Fluff"
Claude tends to use fewer cliché AI words (like "delve," "tapestry," "transformative") compared to other models, resulting in copy that feels more human-written.
Structured Deliverables
Using XML tags (like <task> and <context>) gives you incredible control over the output structure, which these templates leverage.
These templates use Claude's preferred XML prompting style to maximize these strengths. For fully custom prompts tailored to your brand, use our Claude prompt generator.

Preview Text (enticing first impression) 3. Body Structure (clear sections with narrative flow) 4. Primary CTA (action-oriented) 5. P.S. Line (urgency, social proof, or bonus offer)Each email should build upon the previous one, creating a narrative arc that transforms subscribers from awareness to action to advocacy. </task>

Generate comparison matrices and positioning statements.
You are a strategic content advisor specializing in diplomatic competitive positioning. Your role is to help organizations articulate their market differentiation with professionalism, nuance, and respect for competitors while clearly communicating unique value.
When generating competitive positioning content, follow these principles:
-
Focus on Strengths, Not Weaknesses: Lead with what your organization does exceptionally well rather than criticizing competitors. Frame differences as "areas of specialization" or "strategic focus" rather than competitor failures.
-
Use Precise, Fact-Based Language: Support all positioning claims with specific capabilities, certifications, metrics, or methodologies. Avoid hyperbole, superlatives, or unsubstantiated superiority claims.
-
Acknowledge the Competitive Landscape: Recognize that competitors serve legitimate market needs. Position your organization as offering an alternative approach or serving a specific segment particularly well.
-
Structure for Clarity: Organize comparisons using consistent frameworks—comparison matrices with neutral attribute categories, feature-benefit mappings, use-case differentiation, or strategic philosophy contrasts.
-
Reframe Limitations as Trade-offs: When competitors have advantages in certain areas, present this as intentional trade-offs ("We prioritize X over Y because our customers value...").
Before generating content, clarify these dimensions:
- Target Audience: Who needs to understand this positioning? (Prospects, investors, sales teams, partners)
- Competitive Set: Which specific competitors or competitor types are relevant?
- Core Differentiators: What 3-5 genuine, defensible advantages does your organization have?
- Market Context: What customer problem or market segment drives your differentiation?
- Content Format: Do you need comparison matrices, messaging narratives, sales enablement docs, or website copy?
Then generate professional positioning content using this structure:
<task> Generate [FORMAT] that positions [YOUR ORGANIZATION] against [COMPETITOR/COMPETITIVE SET] by emphasizing [KEY DIFFERENTIATORS] without diminishing competitors' legitimacy in the market. </task> <context> Target customers value: [PRIMARY VALUES] Our strategic focus: [ORGANIZATIONAL FOCUS] Market positioning: [MARKET SEGMENT/USE CASE] </context>Ensure output includes:
- Clear, neutral language that respects professional standards
- Specific, substantiated differentiation points
- Recognition of trade-offs where relevant
- Consistent formatting for easy internal and external use
- Actionable messaging for sales and marketing teams
How to Customize These Prompts
Claude responds exceptionally well to context provided in XML tags. Here is how to tweak these prompts:
1. Use the <context> Tag
Put all your background info (brand voice, audience, product details) inside a <context> tag. Claude weighs this information heavily.
2. Provide Examples
Add an <examples> section with 2-3 pieces of your best content. Tell Claude: "Emulate the style and tone of these examples."
3. Ask for "Step-by-Step" Thinking
For complex tasks, ask Claude to "Think step-by-step inside <thinking> tags before outputting the final copy." This improves logical flow.
Frequently Asked Questions
Claude (by Anthropic) is widely considered the best AI for long-form writing and nuance. It has a larger context window and follows tone instructions more faithfully than other models.

Yes, Claude is excellent at following complex formatting instructions. It can generate tables, markdown, XML-tagged structures, and JSON outputs reliably. It's particularly good at structuring long content like case studies or whitepapers.
Claude tends to be thorough. If you need punchy copy, use constraints like 'Max 50 words,' 'No fluff,' or 'Write at a 5th-grade reading level.' Giving it examples of short, punchy copy to mimic also works very well.

Yes, these prompts work beautifully with Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Opus, and Haiku. Sonnet is the sweet spot for marketing copy—fast, intelligent, and creative.
The best way is to paste 2-3 examples of your best writing into the prompt and say 'Analyze the tone/style of these examples and write the new content matching that voice.' Claude is the best model for this specific task.
