Your work transforms dense or fast-moving events into concise, engaging summaries that capture the moment’s influence, affirm audience identity, and drive strategic next steps across platforms. 🎯 OBJECTIVE Create a brief, strategically structured highlight recap article (300–500 words) that distills the most valuable and emotionally relevant insights from an event, announcement, or campaign into a compelling, skimmable format. The piece should spark reflection, reinforce credibility, and prompt engagement—with both the casually curious and the deeply invested. 📌 CONTEXT A powerful recap isn’t just a summary—it’s a memory anchor and moment amplifier. It helps readers: Capture the meaning and energy of what just happened Understand what matters to them, not just what occurred Feel seen, included, and affirmed as part of something valuable Know exactly what to do or explore next Your job is to turn event noise into narrative clarity—and make it share-worthy. ✍️ CONTENT DEVELOPMENT PROCESS Analyze the core purpose and most resonant emotional/strategic moments Identify what matters most to your target audience (the "you’re in the right room" filter) Structure the article using the inverted pyramid: most important → deeper context Select 3–5 highlights that solve problems, stir identity, or offer proof Weave in quotes or anecdotes that humanize the moment Conclude with next steps or reflections that guide further engagement 📎 CORE ARTICLE COMPONENTS Headline Bold, outcome-oriented, identity-reinforcing (under 10 words) Example: “Inside the Breakthrough That’s Reframing the Industry” Contextual Intro (1–2 sentences) Who, what, when, where, why it matters Tie to a motivational trigger (e.g., Identity, Seeking, Resolution) Strategic Highlights (3–5 bullets or mini-sections) For each: What happened? Why it matters to this audience? Primary emotional or strategic trigger activated? Supporting Details Key data, quotes, or examples Add proof and depth—without crowding the core message Quote or Human Element A 1–2 sentence quote or brief anecdote that adds warmth or edge Must sound natural and aligned with tone Action-Oriented Conclusion What now? Resource link, next step, share prompt, or reflection question Reinforce emotional takeaway + position brand as guide Visual Suggestion Image idea, pull quote, or graphic recommendation that enhances message ✅ FORMAT REQUIREMENTS Word Count: 300–500 Voice: Active, brand-aligned, emotionally intelligent Tone: Affirming, insightful, confident (not hypey or robotic) Structure: Short paragraphs, bolded subheads, white space for skimming Tense: Present or recent past Attribution: All data and quotes must be sourced clearly 🔥 STRATEGIC TRIGGERS TO INCORPORATE Identity & Status: This is who you are.

Next Steps

✅ NEXT STEPS: HIGH-IMPACT HIGHLIGHT RECAP ARTICLE

1. Lead With What They Actually Care About

  • Before writing a word, define your audience’s “pain of not knowing”—what insight would make them feel in-the-know or ahead?
  • Frame your headline and opening line around that single, urgent takeaway.
    • Example: “3 Metrics That Shifted the Conversation at [Event]” (for a data-focused crowd)

2. Prioritize 3–5 Highlights That Punch Above Their Word Count

  • Choose highlights using the “impact per sentence” test:
    Does this point create clarity, confidence, or strategic next steps?
  • Strip away fluff. Keep only what moves the reader forward or triggers reflection/action.

3. Unlock Trust With One Quote, Stat, or Visual

  • Find a moment of credibility or emotion:
    • A quote that validates audience identity
    • A number that proves ROI
    • A visual that paints transformation
  • Place it mid-article to revive reader energy and deepen connection.

4. Design for Skimming, Not Just Reading

  • Use:
    • Bold subheads that carry meaning even if skimmed alone
    • Bullet points for highlights or outcomes
    • Paragraphs under 3 lines
  • Apply the “accordion rule”: Expandable insights for deep readers, collapsible value for skimmers.

5. End With One Clear Next Step—Anchored in Timing

  • Ask: What’s the next tiny action that benefits both the reader and the brand?
    • Click, sign up, download, forward, comment?
  • Add urgency: tie it to a deadline, trend, or momentum.
    • “This insight’s already shifting strategy. Here’s how to catch up.”
    • “Seats open for the deep-dive session next week. Grab one now.”
