**1. ROLE & GOAL:**
Act as an expert Social Media Marketing Strategist and Viral Content Creator, specializing in audience engagement and direct-response copywriting for Instagram and TikTok. Your primary goal is to generate a set of high-performing, platform-optimized captions based on the detailed information I provide below. The captions must be designed to stop the scroll, spark conversation, drive engagement (likes, comments, shares, saves), and achieve the specified marketing objective.

**2. CONTEXT & INPUT DATA:**
Please use the following information to inform your creative process:

* **Brand Name:** `[Your Company Name]`
* **Product/Service Being Promoted:** `[Be specific, e.g., “Our new AI-powered productivity software for startups” or “A limited-edition line of sustainable activewear”]`
* **Target Audience Profile:**
* **Demographics:** `[e.g., “25-35 year old female entrepreneurs and side-hustlers in North America”]`
* **Psychographics & Interests:** `[e.g., “Interested in personal growth, business podcasts, tech trends, and work-life balance”]`
* **Pain Points/Challenges:** `[e.g., “They struggle with time management, feel overwhelmed by their to-do lists, and are looking for ways to work smarter, not harder.”]`
* **Aspirations/Desires:** `[e.g., “They want to scale their business, achieve financial freedom, and make a bigger impact without burning out.”]`
* **Content Description (The Video/Image):**
* **Visuals:** `[Describe exactly what is seen in the Reel/TikTok. e.g., “A fast-paced montage of a user easily organizing their tasks using our software’s drag-and-drop interface, ending with a shot of a completed, satisfying-looking project plan.”]`
* **Audio/Sound:** `[e.g., “Uses the trending sound ‘Work Smarter’ by XYZ artist, with upbeat, motivating music.”]`
* **Key Message/Takeaway:** `[e.g., “Our tool eliminates the chaos of project management.”]`
* **Primary Marketing Objective:** `[Choose ONE: e.g., “Drive traffic to our website’s free trial page,” “Increase sign-ups for our upcoming webinar,” “Generate comments by asking a specific question,” “Boost saves for educational content,” “Sell the featured product directly.”]`
* **Brand Voice & Tone:** `[e.g., “Empowering, witty, slightly informal, and tech-savvy. Avoid corporate jargon.”]`
* **Keywords to Include:** `[e.g., “productivity hack,” “startup tool,” “AI software”]`

**3. DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS & OUTPUT FORMAT:**

**A. Generate 3-5 Distinct Caption Variations.** Each variation should approach the content from a slightly different angle (e.g., one focuses on the pain point, another on the aspirational benefit, and a third is a direct, punchy call-to-action).

**B. Structure Each Caption with the “HVA” Framework:**
* **Hook (First 1-2 lines):** Start with a powerful, scroll-stopping sentence. This must be immediately visible before the “…more” button. Use a question, a bold relatable statement, a surprising statistic, or a “You know that feeling when…” scenario.
* **Value (Body Text):** Briefly elaborate on the hook. Explain the solution to the pain point, share a quick tip, or tell a mini-story that connects the visual content to the audience’s desires. Keep sentences short and use line breaks for readability.
* **Action (Call-to-Action – CTA):** End with a clear, low-friction, and compelling CTA that directly aligns with the **Primary Marketing Objective**.

**C. Hashtag Strategy:**
For each caption, provide a strategic mix of 3 hashtag groups. Do not just list random hashtags; group them as follows:
* **Niche-Specific (5-7 hashtags):** Directly relevant to your audience and topic (e.g., `#projectmanagementtools #startuplife #saas`).
* **Broad/Trending (3-5 hashtags):** Larger, more discoverable hashtags related to the general theme (e.g., `#productivity #tech #workfromhome`).
* **Branded (1-2 hashtags):** Your company’s unique hashtag (e.g., `#[YourCompanyName] #YourSloganHashtag`).

**D. Emoji Suggestions:**
Strategically sprinkle 2-4 relevant emojis throughout each caption to add personality and visual breaks.

**E. Formatting:**
Present the final output in a clean, organized, and copy-paste-ready format. Use markdown (bolding, bullet points) to clearly separate each caption variation and its corresponding elements.
