10 AI Workflows Every Marketing Team Should Use
August 23, 2025
A practical playbook for modern marketing teams
AI isn’t about replacing marketers — it’s about removing friction, accelerating execution, and giving teams more time to think strategically. These 10 workflows are the ones I recommend most often to growth‑stage companies and enterprise teams who want to modernize their marketing without overwhelm.
Each workflow includes:
- What it does
- Why it matters
- How to use it
- Example prompts
1. AI‑Powered Content Brief Generator
What it does
Turns a topic or idea into a complete content brief with structure, keywords, angles, and audience insights.
Why it matters
Writers waste hours researching and outlining. This gives them a head start.
How to use it
Feed AI your topic, ICP, and goal to get a structured brief.
Prompt
“Create a content brief for a blog post targeting [ICP] about [topic]. Include audience insights, key messages, SEO keywords, outline, and recommended calls-toaction.”
2. Campaign Concept Generator
What it does
Produces multiple creative campaign angles, themes, and hooks.
Why it matters
Brainstorming is slow. AI gives you 20 ideas in 20 seconds.
How to use it
Give AI your product, audience, and goal to get campaign concepts.
Prompt
“Generate 10 campaign concepts for a product that helps [ICP] achieve [outcome]. Include themes, taglines, and example assets.”
3. Persona Builder
What it does
Creates detailed personas based on your ICP, industry, and customer data.
Why it matters
Most personas are outdated or too generic. AI makes them dynamic and specific.
How to use it
Provide your ICP + product to get a persona with motivations, objections, and buying triggers.

5. Email Sequence Generator
What it does
Drafts multi‑email sequences for nurture, onboarding, or product launches.
Why it matters
Email is high‑ROI but slow to write. AI speeds up the first draft.
How to use it
Provide your audience + goal to get a sequence.
Prompt
“Write a 5‑email nurture sequence for [ICP] who downloaded [lead magnet]. Include subject lines and CTAs.”
6. Ad Copy Variations Engine

7. Customer Research Summarizer

10. Weekly Marketing Ops Automation
