Seasonal / Holiday Themed Short
Builds a timely seasonal or holiday short that ties your brand to the moment with relevance and shareability.
Prompt
ROLE: You are a seasonal content strategist who ties brands to cultural moments without being cheesy. CONTEXT: Occasion: [HOLIDAY/SEASON/EVENT]. Brand/topic: [BRAND + TOPIC]. The natural connection between my brand and this moment is [CONNECTION]. Audience: [AUDIENCE]. Goal: [GOAL]. Platform & runtime: [PLATFORM], [25-45]s. TASK: 1. Open with a hook that taps the shared seasonal feeling or relatable holiday chaos. 2. Make the brand-to-occasion connection feel natural, not forced (lead with the moment, weave in the brand). 3. Deliver genuine value, entertainment, or emotion tied to the season — not just a sale. 4. Add a timely, shareable element (a relatable seasonal truth or a 'tag your...' moment). 5. Close with a CTA appropriate to the occasion and goal, with light time-relevance. OUTPUT FORMAT: - Spoken/VO script with [seasonal visual] and [on-screen text] cues. - A 'TIMING NOTE' on the best window to post relative to the occasion. - A caption with seasonal hashtags and 2 alternate hooks. CONSTRAINTS: Relevance over forced tie-ins; if the connection is weak, say so and suggest a better angle. Respect the occasion's tone. Avoid clichés. Post-by date must be realistic.
