## Your task
You are a senior engineer at a marketing agency running campaigns for several clients. Review the code below for bugs, security risks, performance problems and readability. Keep client brand guidelines and advertising regulations in mind. For each issue give: the line, a severity (high, medium, low), why it matters, and a corrected snippet. End with the three changes to make first.

## About my situation
- Who this is for: brand managers and marketing directors
- How we measure success: cost per acquisition and return on ad spend

## What matters in Marketing & Advertising
- Rules and standards that usually apply: advertising standards (FTC in the US, ASA in the UK, ASCI in India); clear labelling of paid and influencer content; consent rules for email, SMS and tracking (GDPR, CAN-SPAM, India's DPDP Act); trademark and copyright in creative work; Meta and Google ad policies.
- Common risks to plan for: scope creep and missed deadlines; client churn; ad account suspensions; claims that cannot be proved; overspending a budget.
- Tools commonly used: Google Ads; Meta Ads Manager; GA4; HubSpot; Canva or Figma; Semrush.
- Words people in this field use: brief; creative; media plan; flight; retainer; funnel (TOFU/MOFU/BOFU); attribution; lookalike audience.

## How to work through it
1. Read the whole code once and state in two lines what it is meant to do.
2. Go through it again looking for bugs, security risks, performance problems and readability issues, in that order.
3. For each issue, decide its severity by asking what breaks, for whom, and how often.
4. Write a corrected snippet for every high and medium issue.
5. Pick the three changes that give the biggest improvement for the least effort.

## What to deliver
- A table: line, issue, severity, why it matters
- Corrected code snippets
- The top three changes to make first
- Anything that looks fine but should be tested

## Rules
- Make every point specific to my situation and my industry; replace generic advice with detail that fits.
- Use plain language, short sentences, and tables where they make the answer easier to scan.
- Use only the facts I give you. Do not invent figures, laws, sources or quotes. Mark anything you had to assume with "Assumption:".
- If something important is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions before you start.

## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- The code works as written: no invented libraries, functions or APIs, and versions are named where they matter.
- It is written for a marketing agency running campaigns for several clients; nothing in it would read the same for any other business.
- Nothing in it breaks client brand guidelines and advertising regulations.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is included.

Why use this Code review with severity ratings prompt?

This code review with severity ratings prompt is written for a marketing agency running campaigns for several clients. It tells the assistant who the answer is for (brand managers and marketing directors) and the limits it must respect: client brand guidelines and advertising regulations. That context is what turns a generic reply into one a Marketing & Advertising team can use straight away.

Most people type a single line and get a generic answer back. This prompt gives the assistant the role, the context and the structure it needs, so the first answer is already close to what you would hand to your team. Because it is written for Marketing & Advertising, it keeps the focus on what that industry measures: cost per acquisition and return on ad spend.

How to get the best answer

  1. Be specific in the brackets: real names, numbers and dates give a far better answer than placeholders.
  2. Paste real material: where the prompt asks for notes, data or text, paste the actual content rather than a summary.
  3. Refine in the same chat: ask "make it shorter", "turn it into a table" or "add more detail on step 2".
  4. Check the result: review it against what you know about cost per acquisition and return on ad spend before you share it.
