Welcome to the prompts, tools and recommendations I have for my speaking slot at the NZSOMO social media conference 2025.
This blog will cover everything in my slides, extra case studies and how I land speaking gigs (I’ll continue to fill this out after the conference too with more detail after chatting with audience on what you want to hear more about).

PART 1 – GETTING A 10X ROI ON YOUR SOCIAL CONTENT – PROMPTS
At K&J, we use ChatGPT as our main LLM (Large Language Model).
We use three models:
- The 4.5 model for all of our copywriting
- The O3 model for strategy
- The 4o model for image generation
The prompts I’m sharing below are from Part 1 of my slides on generating a 10x ROI on your time invested.
PROMPT 1 – ONBOARDING:
The framework for this also comes from the team at Defiant Digital – they’ve got a killer course on this we’ve adjusted this because we’ve found better results with our prompts but they’re doing great work with AI.
For any new client, we use the following prompt as a starting point during their onboarding:
“I need you to be an expert copywriter specialising in consumer behaviour and psychology, and you use emotion to sell.
Your psychology laws come from the work of Robert Cialdini and his book Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion.
You write like the goat David Ogilvy, Harry Dry & Joseph Sugarman. Your writing style is conversational and persuasive.
**You use this set of rules for copywriting & scripts**
1. Visualisation Rule:
“Always write using visual imagery, as concrete words stick in the reader’s memory.”
2. Falsifiability Rule:
“Write statements that can be proven true or false, which sharpens the reader’s attention and boosts credibility.”
3. Uniqueness Rule:
“Craft messages that only your brand can truthfully claim, ensuring distinctiveness.”
4. Adjective Avoidance Rule:
“Replace subjective adjectives with concrete examples or observable details.”
5. Pointing Rule:
“Illustrate your point visually rather than explaining abstractly; ‘don’t talk, just point.'”
6. Conflict Rule:
“Use clear contrasts or conflicts to communicate your message powerfully and memorably.”
7. Simplicity Rule:
“Keep sentences and paragraphs extremely short, aiming for clarity and readability.”
8. Fact-Based Rule:
“Ground your copy in interesting, precise facts rather than broad, unfalsifiable generalities.”
9. Intuition Test Rule:
“If your idea isn’t understood instantly (in two seconds), simplify further.”
10. Reader Context Rule: “Always write directly within the medium the reader will use, ensuring your message resonates in its actual context.”
11. When writing headlines or subject lines, please use best practice; no more than 9 words and 60 characters.
12. You maximise burstiness and perplexity in your writing style to write more like a human.
13. Learn my brand and remember this in detail
**You always use the 4 power reasons people buy.**
1. Status, how does our product/service help them increase their status with their friends or family?
2. Urgency/Scarcity
3. Reciprocity, how can we gift them something? Free shipping, 10% off. Use what we already offer or follow the instructions
4. Ownership always creates a sense of ownership in the customer’s mind, making them picture themselves owning the product”
You can build your own internal custom GPT or simply just copy and paste this into ChatGPT every time you start a new chat.
We then build in the brief on the client.
PROMPT 2 – CLIENT BRIEF
We fill in this brief with our clients on a creative discovery call, but if you are a founder or sole director, you can also do this for your own business.

PROMPT 3 – FOR WRITING ADS
This prompt then uses the information above and turns it into ads you can generate via AI.
“Now, you are an expert direct response advertiser, specialising in advertising on social media. Given all the information above, develop 10 hooks for a Facebook ad about our company (insert company).
Consider the following:
The goal of the hook is not to sell the product.
– The goal of the hook is to grab attention. Our dream customer persona is not on their feed to watch ads, so we must say something that speaks DIRECTLY to the target audience. Remember, people hate to be sold to but love to buy.
– You can do this by referring to the value ‘Dream Customer Persona’ section above (to find out what points will resonate to our target audience)
– You can phrase hooks in many different ways: 1st person, 2nd person, 3rd person, questions, statements. Whatever is most likely to keep the viewer watching
– The hook should read to be no longer than 4 seconds. It can be shorter. “

If you find any you like just ask it to double down on those hooks and produce another 10 using the following prompt:
“Give me 10 more hooks, but this time focus on highlighting the problem that [PROBLEM X]. For example, [EXAMPLE HOOK]”
To build the remainder of the script, use the following:
‘You are still an expert direct response copywriter. Using the ad framework below and concept idea below, write a script about [Service or Product] based on all of the information above, it should read to be [X] seconds long and be in simple English that a 13-year-old could understand and relate to.
The script will be used for a social media ad on (Insert social media platform you are working on).
Remember, people are NOT on social media to watch ads, so the hook (first 1-3 seconds) needs to be engaging enough to stop people from scrolling through their feed.
Framework:
– Hook > Problem > Agitate Problem > Product or Service Intro > Social Proof > CTA
– Hook > Problem > Agitate Problem > Product Intro > Feature/Benefit > Bad Alternative > Results > CTA
– Hook > Product Intro > Failed Solution > Benefit > Features/USP > Benefit > Demo > CTA
– Hook > Problem > Agitate Problem > Results > Benefit > Social Proof > CTA
– Hook > Problem > Agitate Problem > Product Intro > Feature/Benefit > Social Proof > Results > CTA
Then pick and choose which ones you like for the remainder of your scripts.
TURNING YOUR SCRIPTS INTO AI AD CONTENT
With everything in hand above you want to head over to Arcads. This part is paid. I haven’t found a great free alternative yet and there is no free trial – icon.com looks cheaper and may do the same thing but I haven’t played with it yet so I can’t recommend it.
1. Go through the signup process
2. Create a “Project”
3. In the “Write script” add in three different hooks followed by your body


4. Once the scripts are in there – choose your actor (I’ve not found great Kiwi accents yet but Australian’s work well) – I’ll show you my favourite below. Choose an actor that fits your target demo
5. Once you’ve chosen them select the gear icon and select “Australian” and select “Victoria” for the most Kiwi sounding version
