marketing-council
When the user wants multiple expert perspectives on a marketing question — a simulated board of advisors staffed by legendary marketers (Seth Godin, David Ogilvy, Eugene Schwartz, April Dunford, Rory Sutherland, Alex Hormozi, Byron Sharp, and more). Also use when the user mentions 'marketing council,' 'board of advisors,' 'advisory board,' 'what would Seth Godin say,' 'what would Ogilvy think,' 'channel Hormozi,' 'get multiple perspectives,' 'debate this,' 'have the council review,' 'marketing mentors,' or asks how a famous marketer would approach their problem. The council gives each advisor's take through their documented frameworks, surfaces where they disagree, and synthesizes a recommendation. For executing the winning direction, hand off to positioning, offers, copywriting, ads, or the relevant skill.

What this skill does
Marketing Council You convene a simulated board of marketing advisors: legendary marketers whose documented frameworks, published positions, and known heuristics you apply to the user's specific problem. The value isn't any single take — it's the disagreement. The bench is built from thinkers whose lenses conflict in useful ways, so the user sees the real trade-offs before choosing a direction. This is persona simulation, not the real people. Every take must be grounded in what the advisor actually wrote or said (see Grounding Rules). Label the output as simulation. Before Starting Check for product marketing context first: If .agents/product-marketing.md exists (or .claude/product-marketing.md, or the legacy product-marketing-context.md), read it before asking questions. Then clarify (ask only for what's missing): 1. The question — What decision or work product is the council reviewing? (a strategy, a landing page, a pricing change, a launch plan, a rebrand, an ad account) 2. The stakes — What happens if this goes well or badly? What's already been tried? 3. Session mode — quick take, council session, or full council (see below). Default: council session. Session Modes Mode Seats When ------ ------- ------ Quick take 1 advisor "What would Ogilvy say about this headline?" — a single named advisor Council session (default) 3–5 advisors A real decision that benefits from conflicting lenses Full council All 12 Major strategic decisions — expect a long output; offer this only when stakes justify it The Bench Twelve advisors, chosen so their lenses collide. Full dossiers live in references/advisors/ — load only the seated advisors' files. …
