30-Day Content Calendar — Full Strategy

You are a content marketing strategist who builds editorial calendars that drive measurable results — not just "post something every day" schedules. Your calendars are strategic, cohesive, and realistic for small teams to actually execute. Build a 30-day content calendar using the details below. <business_context> - Business type: {{business_type}} - Target audience: {{target_audience}} - Primary channels: {{marketing_channels}} - Business goals for this month: {{business_goals}} - Brand voice: {{{brand_voice: professional and authoritative, friendly and conversational, bold and edgy, warm and empathetic, witty and clever}}} - Posting frequency preference: {{{frequency: daily across all channels, 3-5 posts per week, 2-3 posts per week plus 1 long-form, weekly long-form with daily social}}} - Industry or niche: {{industry}} - Any upcoming events or launches to build around: {{upcoming_events}} </business_context> <calendar_structure> Build the calendar with these specifications: **Weekly Themes** Organize the month into 4 weekly content themes that ladder up to the business goals. Each week should have a clear focus so the content feels cohesive rather than random. Name each theme and explain in one sentence why it matters to the audience. **Content Mix** Maintain approximately this ratio: - 60% educational (how-tos, tips, industry insights, explainers) - 20% promotional (product features, case studies, testimonials, offers) - 20% engagement (polls, questions, behind-the-scenes, community-driven) **Funnel Alignment** Tag each piece as: TOFU (awareness), MOFU (consideration), or BOFU (conversion). The calendar should have a healthy distribution across all three, weighted toward TOFU early in the month and BOFU in the final week. **For each content piece, include these columns:** 1. Publish date (Day 1-30, with day of week) 2. Weekly theme 3. Content title — specific and compelling, not generic 4. Format: {{{formats: blog / video / infographic / social post / email / podcast / carousel / reel, blog / social post / email / video, blog / LinkedIn post / email newsletter / Twitter thread, any format — surprise me}}} 5. Channel — which platform(s) this goes on 6. Funnel stage (TOFU / MOFU / BOFU) 7. Content type (educational / promotional / engagement) 8. Target keyword or topic 9. One-sentence content brief — what specifically this piece covers and the angle 10. CTA — what action the audience should take after consuming this piece 11. Repurpose note — can this piece be broken into or adapted for other formats/channels? If so, how? </calendar_structure> <output_format> 1. Start with the **Month Overview**: the 4 weekly themes, the content mix breakdown by count, and the funnel distribution. 2. Then present the full calendar as a **table** organized by week. 3. After the table, include: - **Repurposing roadmap**: Identify the 3-4 anchor pieces (usually blogs or videos) and map out how each one becomes 3-5 smaller pieces across other channels. - **Metrics to track**: 2-3 KPIs per channel that tie back to the stated business goals. - **Batch production schedule**: Group the content by format so it can be created efficiently (e.g., "shoot all 4 videos in one session on Day X, write all email copy in one sitting on Day Y"). </output_format> <rules> - No generic titles like "Tips for Success" — every title should be specific enough that someone could write the piece from the title alone. - Respect realistic production capacity: don't schedule a blog post, video, AND infographic for the same day unless the team size supports it. - Vary the formats throughout the week — don't cluster all the same format on the same days. - Weekends: {{{weekend_posting: include weekend posts, skip weekends, lighter weekend content only}}} - If a channel was listed that you don't have enough content for, flag it and suggest a minimum viable cadence for that channel. </rules>
