# /Digital-marketing-pro:webinar-plan Human Guide

## What This Is For
Plan a webinar or virtual event end to end — format selection, minute-by-minute run of show, registration page copy, a 3-week multi-channel promotion calendar, email sequences, presenter.

Use this as a human-readable version of the /Digital-marketing-pro:webinar-plan agent skill. It is meant for marketers, operators, founders, and other non-coders who want the workflow without reading agent-specific implementation instructions.

## When To Use This
- Use this when you need a repeatable process for /digital-marketing-pro:webinar-plan.
- Use this when the task needs judgment, examples, constraints, or a clear output format rather than a one-off prompt.
- Use this when you want to hand an AI assistant enough context to produce a usable marketing artifact.

## When Not To Use This
- Do not use this when you only need a quick factual answer.
- Do not use this when the work depends on private data you cannot share with the assistant.
- Do not use this as a replacement for legal, compliance, financial, or medical review.

## What You Need Before Starting
- The goal or business outcome you want.
- The audience, customer segment, or market context.
- Any source material the assistant should respect, such as notes, briefs, examples, URLs, or brand guidance.
- Constraints such as tone, length, channel, deadline, region, or approval requirements.
- A clear definition of what a good final answer should look like.

## Step-By-Step Workflow
1. State the job clearly: "Use the /Digital-marketing-pro:webinar-plan guide to help me with..."
2. Add context: audience, goal, offer, channel, source material, and constraints.
3. Ask the assistant to identify missing inputs before producing the final output.
4. Have the assistant follow the skill-specific guidance below.
5. Review the result against the final checklist and ask for revisions where needed.

## Skill-Specific Guidance
- **Topic/theme**: Subject matter and angle for the webinar — what specific problem or opportunity will be addressed
- **Target audience**: Who should attend — role, seniority, industry, company size, experience level, and pain points
- **Objectives**: Primary goal — lead generation, education, product demo, thought leadership, customer retention, or partner enablement
- **Preferred platform**: Webinar tool in use or under consideration (Zoom, Teams, Webex, GoToWebinar, Livestorm, StreamYard, etc.)
- **Date/time**: Proposed date and time with timezone (or ask for optimal scheduling recommendation based on audience)
- **Speakers**: Presenters, panelists, or hosts — internal team members and/or external guests with their expertise areas
- **Budget for promotion**: Available spend for driving registrations — paid ads, sponsorships, influencer partnerships, etc.
- **Expected attendance**: Target registration and attendance numbers for goal-setting and promotion planning
- **Content assets available**: Existing slide decks, research reports, demos, or content that can be repurposed for the webinar
- **Follow-up goals**: What should happen after the webinar — sales meetings booked, free trial signups, content downloads, community joins
- **Webinar brief**: Format, objectives, audience profile, speakers, platform, date/time, and target metrics summary
- **Content outline with timing**: Minute-by-minute run of show with speaker assignments, transition notes, and engagement cue points

## Decision Points And Nuance
The original skill emphasizes: Purpose, Input Required, Process, Output, Agents Used, Supporting file: skills/context-engine/compliance-rules.md, Section 1: Geographic Privacy Laws, 1.1 EU/EEA — General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), 1.1b EU/EEA — AI Act Article 50 (Generative AI Disclosure), 1.1b.i — Article 50 implementing guidelines (FINAL, 2026).

Use these questions to steer the work:
- What is the intended audience or buyer?
- What source material must be preserved?
- What should the assistant optimize for: clarity, persuasion, accuracy, speed, creativity, or conversion?
- What examples represent the desired quality bar?
- What should the assistant avoid?

## Common Mistakes
- The user must provide (or will be prompted for):
- | **Penalty Range** | Up to EUR 20 million or 4% of global annual turnover, whichever is higher. Supervisory authorities may also issue warnings, bans on processing, and orders to erase data. |
- **Treat the carve-out as conditional, not a free pass.** "Human-reviewed" requires named accountability. Don't claim editorial responsibility unless a named editor is willing to be on the record.
- | **Consent Model** | Opt-out. No prior consent required to send commercial email. Recipients must be given a clear way to opt out, and opt-out requests must be honored within 10 business days. |
- | **Consent Model** | Opt-out for sale/sharing of personal information. Opt-in required for consumers under 16 (under 13 requires parental consent). "Sharing" includes cross-context behavioral advertising. |
- | **Consent Model** | Opt-in. Consent must be free, informed, and unambiguous for a specific purpose. Legitimate interest is available as an alternative basis but requires a Legitimate Interest Assessment (LIA). |
- | **Penalty Range** | Up to 2% of revenue in Brazil, capped at BRL 50 million (~USD 10 million) per violation. ANPD may also issue warnings, publicize violations, and block or delete data. |
- | **Email Rules** | Specified Electronic Mail Act: opt-in required for commercial email. Sender ID and unsubscribe required. APPI requires specifying the purpose of use at collection. |

# /digital-marketing-pro:webinar-plan

## Purpose

Plan a webinar or virtual event from concept to post-event follow-up, including content structure, promotion strategy, registration optimization, engagement tactics, and measurement framework. Produces a complete execution package that a team can implement without further strategic planning.

## Input Required

The user must provide (or will be prompted for):

- **Topic/theme**: Subject matter and angle for the webinar — what specific problem or opportunity will be addressed
- **Target audience**: Who should attend — role, seniority, industry, company size, experience level, and pain points
- **Objectives**: Primary goal — lead generation, education, product demo, thought leadership, customer retention, or partner enablement
- **Preferred platform**: Webinar tool in use or under consideration (Zoom, Teams, Webex, GoToWebinar, Livestorm, StreamYard, etc.)
- **Date/time**: Proposed date and time with timezone (or ask for optimal scheduling recommendation based on audience)
- **Speakers**: Presenters, panelists, or hosts — internal team members and/or external guests with their expertise areas
- **Budget for promotion**: Available spend for driving registrations — paid ads, sponsorships, influencer partnerships, etc.
- **Expected attendance**: Target registration and attendance numbers for goal-setting and promotion planning
- **Content assets available**: Existing slide decks, research reports, demos, or content that can be repurposed for the webinar
- **Follow-up goals**: What should happen after the webinar — sales meetings booked, free trial signups, content downloads, community joins

## Process

1. **Load brand context**: Read `~/.claude-marketing/brands/_active-brand.json` for the active slug, then load `~/.claude-marketing/brands/{slug}/profile.json`. Apply brand voice, compliance rules for target markets (`skills/context-engine/compliance-rules.md`), and industry context. **Also check for guidelines** at `~/.claude-marketing/brands/{slug}/guidelines/_manifest.json` — if present, load restrictions and relevant category files. Check for custom templates at `~/.claude-marketing/brands/{slug}/templates/`. Check for agency SOPs at `~/.claude-marketing/sops/`. If no brand exists, ask: "Set up a brand first (/digital-marketing-pro:brand-setup)?" — or proceed with defaults.
2. **Define webinar format**: Select the best format based on objectives, audience preferences, and speaker strengths — presentation, panel discussion, interactive workshop, product demo, AMA, fireside chat, or hybrid format with multiple segments
3. **Create content outline with timing**: Build a minute-by-minute run of show — opening hook, speaker introductions, content segments with transitions, audience interaction points (polls, Q&A breaks), and closing CTA with time allocations for each block
4. **Design registration page copy**: Write headline, subheadline, 3-5 key takeaway bullets, speaker bios with credibility markers, urgency elements (limited spots, countdown), and social proof (past attendee quotes, company logos) optimized for conversion
5. **Build multi-channel promotion plan**: Create a coordinated promotion strategy across email sequences, organic social posts, paid ads (LinkedIn, Meta, Google), partner/speaker cross-promotion, blog/website banners, community outreach, and internal employee advocacy
6. **Create presenter prep materials**: Develop speaker brief with key talking points, slide structure recommendations, audience profile context, brand voice reminders, Q&A preparation, and technical setup/rehearsal checklist
7. **Design attendee engagement strategy**: Plan interactive elements — specific poll questions tied to content, Q&A facilitation approach, chat prompts to spark discussion, breakout room activities (if applicable), live resource sharing, and real-time feedback mechanisms
8. **Plan post-event sequence**: Design the complete follow-up funnel — recording availability timeline, segmented email sequences for attendees vs. no-shows, lead scoring criteria based on engagement, sales handoff process for high-intent leads, and content repurposing plan (blog post, social clips, podcast episode, infographic)
9. **Define success metrics**: Set targets for registrations, show-up rate, engagement rate (poll participation, questions asked, chat activity), leads generated, pipeline influenced, and attendee satisfaction — with industry benchmark comparisons
10. **Create day-of checklist**: Build a comprehensive run-of-day timeline covering tech setup and testing, dry run schedule, backup plans for speaker or tech failures, moderator duties minute-by-minute, recording confirmation, and immediate post-event actions
