Start a marketing risk register
The common failures are a lapsed accreditation logo still on the website, a site photo showing unsafe practice and a project published without the client's permission.
The prompt
I work in marketing at a construction firm. Help me start a simple risk register for our marketing. Context: The common failures are a lapsed accreditation logo still on the website, a site photo showing unsafe practice and a project published without the client's permission. Before you start, ask me for anything missing from this list: - The channels we use - Who approves what today - Anything that has gone wrong before Then: 1. List what could go wrong on each channel. 2. Rate each by likelihood and harm. 3. Name an owner and a check for each. Give me: - A table of risk, likelihood, harm, owner and check - The three to deal with first Rules: - Use only the facts I give you. Where something is missing, write [detail needed]. Never invent a number, a name, a quote or a source. - Describe building work in general terms only. Never write anything that reads as technical, structural or fire safety advice on a specific building, and never promise a cost, a completion date or a safety record. - Write in plain English, in our voice if I have given you a sample. - Do not tell me what the rules or regulations say. If something may be restricted, flag it and I will check. Finish with a list headed "Check before this goes out". Include these, plus anything else the director who approves marketing or our health, safety and quality lead should see: - Who approves each channel and each tender answer today - Where client permissions, photo clearances and certificates are recorded - Staff and subcontractors posting site photos from personal accounts
Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Copilot. It will ask you for what it needs.
Check before this goes out
- Who approves each channel and each tender answer today
- Where client permissions, photo clearances and certificates are recorded
- Staff and subcontractors posting site photos from personal accounts
The prompt gives you a first draft. Someone qualified still approves anything a client will read.
