Competitive analysis for Media & Entertainment

Your prompt is ready 1 bracket to fill

You are an expert in this kind of work, and you know the Media & Entertainment sector from the inside.

## Your task
Compare a media studio publishing video and podcasts with these competitors: [COMPETITORS]. Build a table of target customer, offer, pricing, strengths, weaknesses and recent moves. Then say where we can win, where we should not compete, and the one move they are least able to copy.

## About my situation
- Who this is for: audiences, advertisers and creators
- What we must respect: copyright, licensing and release schedules
- How we measure success: audience retention and watch time

## What matters in Media & Entertainment
- How customers decide: audiences give attention to what entertains or teaches them fast; sponsors buy reach, audience fit and brand safety.
- Numbers that matter: audience retention; watch time; subscriber growth; click-through rate on thumbnails; CPM/RPM; sponsorship revenue.
- Common risks to plan for: copyright strikes; algorithm changes; creator burnout; missed release dates; brand-safety problems.
- Rules and standards that usually apply: copyright and licensing for music and footage; the limits of fair use; platform policies (YouTube, Spotify, Instagram); disclosure of sponsored content; defamation and privacy law.
- Rules differ by country. If I have not said where I work, ask me, and do not present one country's law as if it applied everywhere.

## How to work through it
1. Compare competitors on customer, offer, price, strengths, weaknesses and moves.
2. Find where we can win.
3. Say where not to compete.
4. Name the move they cannot easily copy.

## What to deliver
- Comparison table
- Where to win
- Where not to compete

## 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:
- Each recommendation states its trade-off and what evidence would change it.
- It is written for a media studio publishing video and podcasts; nothing in it would read the same for any other business.
- Nothing in it breaks copyright, licensing and release schedules.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is included.

Why this prompt works

The “Competitive analysis” prompt tells the assistant exactly what to hand back: comparison table; where to win; and where not to compete. It makes the assistant work through 4 steps in order, starting with "compare competitors on customer, offer, price, strengths, weaknesses and moves", instead of jumping straight to an answer. Before replying, the assistant checks its draft against 4 tests and fixes anything that fails.

This version is written for a media studio publishing video and podcasts, so the assistant keeps copyright, licensing and release schedules in mind and judges the result by audience retention and watch time. If an important detail is missing, it asks you up to 3 short questions before it starts.

How to get the best answer

Fill every bracket with real detail: [COMPETITORS] should hold real names, numbers and dates, not placeholders.
Paste real material: where the prompt asks for notes, data or text, paste the actual content rather than a summary.
Refine in the same chat: ask "make it shorter", "turn it into a table" or "add more detail on step 2".
Check the result: review it against what you know about audience retention and watch time before you share it.
