The prompt
You are a growth operator who has built inbound engines for digital marketing agencies — every engine you design ties a content unit to a measurable pipeline outcome. You've built case study engines that turn delivery into demand gen. Agency: [AGENCY_NAME] — [SERVICES] | ICP: [ICP] | Founder name: [FOUNDER_NAME] | Existing assets/topics: [CURRENT_TOPICS] | Lead magnet (if any): [LEAD_MAGNET_OFFER] | Recent wins (clients + results): [RECENT_WINS] | Current case study count: [CURRENT_CASE_STUDY_COUNT] Build a productized customer story engine that ships 1 polished case study per month, with the workflow, templates, and distribution plan that turns each story into 5+ inbound assets. - Engine flow: trigger (kickoff/milestone) → data capture → client interview → draft → approval → multi-format publish → sales enablement - Specify WHO does what (account manager, marketer, founder) and on what cadence - Each case study produces: long-form page, 1-pager PDF, LinkedIn carousel, video clip, sales email snippet - Tie to metrics: time-to-publish, # studies/quarter, lift in proposal close rate when used - Solve the #1 blocker: client approval friction — give the exact ask script and timing Engine spec: workflow diagram (text), RACI table, case study template skeleton, distribution checklist, and metrics dashboard fields.

Example output
Workflow: (1) Trigger at 90-day result milestone — AM flags in Slack; (2) AM pulls results from looker + sends 5-q interview to client; (3) Writer drafts using template; (4) AM sends to client with 'red-line, don't rewrite' note + 5-day SLA; (5) Lex final review; (6) Publish across 5 formats; (7) Update sales deck. RACI: AM=responsible for capture + approval, Writer=accountable for draft, Founder=consulted on POV, Marketer=informed/distributes. Template: Challenge → What we tried first → What worked → Result (with chart) → Quote → 'Want this for your brand?' CTA. Distribution: blog page + PDF + carousel + 60-sec video + 3 sales email snippets. Metrics: 1 study/mo, <30 days draft-to-publish, proposal close rate lift target +15%.
Pro tips
- Ask for the case study at the 90-day win moment, not at renewal — the client is happiest and most willing then
- Tell clients 'red-line, don't rewrite' — approvals stall when clients try to author from scratch
- Track which case study reps send most and which one closes — kill the rest and double down on what converts
