--- name: internal-program-promotion-copy-generator description: "Generates a complete internal promotion kit for a learning program — 10 email subject lines, 3 newsletter blurbs at different lengths, 8 registration CTAs, and a manager-forward message — all calibrated to internal audiences, enrollment barriers, and the program's timeline. Use when promoting an internal training, workshop, certification, mentorship, or learning program and needing subject lines, newsletter copy, and registration CTAs that drive sign-ups." argument-hint: "[program-name] [audience]" allowed-tools: ["Read"] --- # Internal Program Promotion Copy Generator ## Purpose Produce a ready-to-send promotion kit that fills the enrollment funnel for an internal learning program — subject lines that get opened in a crowded inbox, newsletter blurbs sized for different channels, and registration CTAs that convert intent into sign-ups. Solves the recurring problem of low internal program enrollment caused by generic, easily-ignored announcement copy. ## When to Use Invoke this skill when the user asks to: - Promote an internal training, workshop, or upskilling program - Write email subject lines or announcement copy for a learning initiative - Fill a Slack, Teams, or intranet newsletter slot for a program launch - Drive registrations or sign-ups for a certification, cohort, or mentorship program - Re-promote a program with low enrollment or an approaching deadline - Create a manager-forwardable message to boost team participation ## Inputs Required Before starting, collect: - **Program name**: The exact name employees will see - **What it teaches / delivers**: 2–3 sentence description of the skill, outcome, or benefit - **Target audience**: Who should enroll (e.g., all people managers, new hires, sales team) - **Time commitment**: Format and hours (e.g., 4-week cohort, 90-min live workshop, self-paced) - **Registration details**: Deadline, link destination, seat cap or waitlist status - **Primary enrollment barrier**: Why eligible people might not sign up (too busy, unclear value, seems optional) - **Company tone**: Formal / conversational / playful / mission-driven If tone is not provided, default to conversational-professional. If no enrollment barrier is given, assume "people are too busy and see it as optional." ## Instructions ### Step 1: Identify the Enrollment Motivator Pick the single strongest reason this audience would enroll and anchor all copy to it: - **Career advancement**: Skill directly maps to promotion, mobility, or a resume-worthy credential - **Time/effort relief**: The program makes their current job easier or faster - **Peer/cohort belonging**: Others like them are joining; FOMO or team norm - **Manager expectation**: Leadership visibly values or endorses participation - **Scarcity**: Limited seats, one-time cohort, or closing deadline Name the chosen motivator explicitly at the top of the output so the user understands the strategy. ### Step 2: Generate 10 Email Subject Lines Produce subject lines across these types, labeled by type and length (character count): - **Direct benefit (2)**: State the outcome — "Get certified in [skill] in 4 weeks" - **Curiosity (2)**: Open a loop without being clickbait - **Deadline/scarcity (2)**: Only if a real deadline or seat cap exists - **Question (2)**: Trigger self-identification - **Personal/manager framing (2)**: "Your team asked for this" / "Recommended for people in your role" Keep subject lines under 50 characters where possible. Mark the top 2 recommendations. ### Step 3: Generate 3 Newsletter Blurbs at Different Lengths - **Micro (25–35 words)**: For a Slack/Teams post or a newsletter one-liner slot. One benefit, one CTA. - **Standard (60–90 words)**: For a newsletter section. Lead with the motivator, name the audience, state the time commitment honestly, close with CTA. - **Feature (120–160 words)**: For an intranet feature or dedicated announcement email. Include a proof point or "what you'll be able to do after," address the enrollment barrier directly, and end with deadline + CTA. Each blurb must name the program, the audience, and the time commitment — never hide the effort required. ### Step 4: Generate 8 Registration CTAs Write button/link CTAs across these styles, each 2–5 words: - **Action-first (2)**: "Reserve your seat," "Enroll now" - **Benefit-first (2)**: "Start building [skill]" - **Low-friction (2)**: "Save my spot," "Add to my calendar" - **Urgency-based (2)**: "Register before [deadline]" Label which CTAs pair best with which channel (button vs. inline link). ### Step 5: Write One Manager-Forward Message A short (70–110 word) message a manager can forward to their team endorsing the program. Written in the manager's voice, it should give a reason the manager cares, permission to spend the time, and a clear next step. ### Step 6: Address the Enrollment Barrier In 2–3 sentences, give the user a specific tactic to overcome the stated barrier (e.g., for "too busy" — surface the total time commitment upfront and offer a calendar-hold link; for "seems optional" — secure a named leader's endorsement in the subject line). ## Output Format - **Structure**: Motivator statement → subject lines → newsletter blurbs → CTAs → manager-forward message → barrier tactic - **Length**: 700–950 words - **Format**: Labeled lists with character/word counts; blurbs as ready-to-paste prose blocks - **Sections**: Chosen Motivator → 10 Subject Lines → 3 Newsletter Blurbs → 8 Registration CTAs → Manager-Forward Message → Barrier Tactic - **Tone**: Internal-comms professional — warm, clear, and free of corporate jargon or hype ## Quality Checklist Before delivering output, verify: - [ ] Exactly 10 subject lines, 3 blurbs, and 8 CTAs are present (count them) - [ ] Every piece of copy uses the actual program name and audience — no placeholders or brackets - [ ] All three blurbs state the honest time commitment - [ ] Subject lines include character counts and 2 are marked as top recommendations - [ ] Scarcity/deadline copy only appears if a real deadline or seat cap was provided - [ ] The manager-forward message is written in a manager's voice, not the L&D team's ## Notes - Internal audiences don't respond to marketing hype — the biggest lever is credibility and a clear, honest ask - Manager endorsement is the single highest-impact enrollment driver; if the user can secure it, prioritize the manager-forward message and manager-framing subject lines - When re-promoting a low-enrollment program, lead with scarcity and a named leader endorsement rather than restating the original benefit - Honesty about time commitment increases completion rates even if it slightly lowers initial sign-ups — flag this tradeoff if the user is optimizing purely for registration numbers --- ## How to use this skill This file is a Claude Code skill in [Anthropic's standard format](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/skills) — markdown with YAML frontmatter at the top. **Installing in Claude Code:** - `~/.claude/skills//SKILL.md` — auto-loads in every session anywhere on your machine (recommended for skills you'll use across multiple projects) - `/.claude/skills//SKILL.md` — auto-loads only when working in that project (recommended for project-specific skills) Restart Claude Code or open a new session to register. **Using in Claude.ai, ChatGPT, Gemini, or other AI tools:** 1.
