• In advertising's not-so-distant past, the golden skill was copywriting. Think punchy headlines, persuasive taglines, and the art of saying a lot with a little. • But then came the LLMs: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude. And along with them, a quiet but seismic shift. Suddenly, the most valuable creative wasn’t the one who could write the perfect tweet—it was the one who could get an AI to write ten great ones in under a minute. • Enter prompt engineering. Not just typing into a chat box. It's about constructing precise, structured inputs that consistently yield accurate, on-brand, high-performing outputs. • The difference between “write a catchy headline” and “act as a senior brand copywriter crafting 5 headlines for a Gen Z skincare brand launching a new SPF product, tone: playful yet authoritative” isn’t just depth—it's effectiveness. Specificity wins. • Marketers today need more than a login to an AI tool. They need workflows. Feedback loops. A/B tests for prompts. They need to evaluate results with the same rigor they apply to ad performance: impressions, conversions, CTR—now applied to prompt variants. • The myth that AI kills creativity misses the mark. AI is a force multiplier. It’s a junior team member with infinite energy and zero context—until you give it one. Direction, structure, iteration. It needs you. • Copywriting isn't obsolete. It's upstream now. The best marketers still know how to position, persuade, and resonate—but they also know how to encode those instincts into prompts that scale. • Prompt fluency is becoming the new baseline. Not glitzy, not optional. Just table stakes for the next generation of creative work.
