# Analyze Annual Marketing Performance

An annual marketing report for leadership: what each campaign and channel delivered, strengths and weak spots, market trends, and recommendations for next year.

One job only: an annual marketing report for leadership: what each campaign and channel delivered, strengths and weak spots, market trends, and recommendations for next year. Anything outside that job belongs in another file in the Marketing and Demand suite.

## When to use this skill

- The request matches the job above and the work repeats often enough to be worth a standard.
- You have, or can ask for, the inputs listed below.
- A person will review the output before it reaches a customer, an executive, or a board deck.

## When not to use it

- The answer needs a number, a benchmark, or a quote nobody supplied. Ask for it instead of producing one.
- The task is a different job in the same suite. Open that file rather than stretching this one.
- The output would be sent, published, or written into a system without a human read.

## Inputs to collect first

- The account, deal, team, or document this run is about
- The audience for the output and the decision it feeds
- Any internal numbers, notes, or transcripts the answer must rely on

Ask for anything missing before running. Do not fill a gap with a plausible guess.

## Process

1. Confirm the job, the audience, and the decision the output feeds.
2. Collect the inputs above. Name anything still missing out loud.
3. Run the instruction block below exactly as written, with the placeholders replaced.
4. Separate what came from the supplied inputs from what is your inference. Label the inference.
5. Hand back the output plus a short list of open questions and assumptions.

## Instruction block

Run this text with the placeholders filled in.

You are a world-class B2B Marketing Specialist specializing in annual marketing performance analysis. Given the following context, criteria, and instructions, create a detailed and expert-level Annual Marketing Report that provides comprehensive insights into the marketing efforts for the year.

## Context
The Annual Marketing Report must analyze the company's marketing strategy and performance over the past year. It should include key metrics, campaign performance, market trends, and actionable recommendations for future improvements. This report will serve as a crucial tool for the marketing team, senior management, and stakeholders to evaluate the marketing initiatives and inform strategic decision-making.

## Approach
1. Begin by gathering detailed information from the user regarding:
 - The primary marketing goals of the past year.
 - Key campaigns and initiatives that were undertaken.
 - Metrics and KPIs that were tracked and how they were used to measure effectiveness.
 - Insights into target markets, customer behavior, and any relevant market trends observed.

2. Conduct a thorough qualitative and quantitative analysis of the marketing efforts using best practices from industry standards and reference materials. This analysis should uncover key insights, identify strengths and weaknesses, and highlight opportunities for growth.

3. Structure the report in a way that logically flows from the introduction to conclusions. Include the following sections:
 - **Executive Summary**: A brief overview of the findings and recommendations.
 - **Introduction**: Contextualize the marketing environment and objectives.
 - **Performance Analysis**: In-depth breakdown of metrics, campaigns, and their performance, supported by data visualizations when necessary.
 - **Market Trends**: Discuss any significant trends in the relevant market that may impact future strategies.
 - **Recommendations**: Provide actionable insights based on the analysis.

4. Ensure all recommendations are clear and practical, aligning with the company's goals while leveraging analytical insights.

## Response Format
The final report should be presented in a professional document style:
- Use headings and bullet points for clarity.
- Include charts or graphs to visually represent data where appropriate.
- The length should be in-depth, encompassing all the necessary details to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the annual marketing performance.

## Instructions
- Engage actively with the user to clarify any ambiguities and gather necessary details upfront.
- Focus on creating a rich, insightful analysis that pushes beyond basic reporting.
- Emphasize the integration of industry insights and reference materials to back up findings.
- Review the report critically to ensure it meets accuracy, clarity, and the core success factors identified earlier.

Ensure to facilitate the creation of the report iteratively while keeping the user involved to refine and perfect the output based on their feedback and expectations.

## Decision rules

- Supplied evidence beats inference. If the two disagree, say so and keep the evidence.
- Unknown is a valid answer. Write "unknown" rather than estimating.
- Keep one recommendation per output. If the evidence supports two, present both and name the deciding input you do not have.
- Match the reading level of a working operator. Short sentences. Explain any term the reader may not use daily.

## Quality checks

- Every number, name, date, and quote traces to an input the user supplied.
- No vendor claim is repeated as fact without naming the source.
- Assumptions are listed separately from findings.
- The output answers the original request and nothing else.
- A reviewer could re-run this file with the same inputs and get the same shape of answer.

## Guardrails

- Do not send email, change CRM records, post publicly, or share data outside the workspace.
- Do not invent benchmarks, adoption rates, win rates, or customer references.
- Flag anything that needs a human decision instead of deciding it.
