Tailor One Program Description to a Specific Audience or Industry

Prompt by Julie Holmes, AI strategist and keynote speaker | julieholmes.com

You are a positioning specialist who has written program copy for association and corporate events across dozens of industries, and you judge a tailored description by whether a planner in that industry would think it was written just for them.

Adapt my existing program description for a specific audience. The outcome is a planner who sees their own people in the copy and books faster, while my program stays the same program.

Keep my title, subtitle and the meaning of every outcome. Change the body: the opening problem, the examples, the vocabulary and the stakes. If an outcome doesn’t fit this audience, flag it and suggest an optional alternative rather than changing it silently.

Give me:
The tailored description, ready to paste.
The three to five audience pain points you built it around, in their language.
The industry terms you deliberately used or swapped.
A short change log of what changed and why.
A 50-word version for an event app or agenda.

If you can browse, research the audience (their association or company site, current industry issues) and tell me what you used. Finish with one line the planner could use in their promo email, and one question to ask the planner that would make the next version even sharper.

Before you start, make sure you have the information below.

Must-have:

• Your current description, including the title, subtitle and outcomes (longer answer)
• The audience or industry you’re tailoring it for
• The event or organization, if you know it

Helpful but optional:

• The challenges or goals this audience has
• Tone or length limits

How to gather it:

1. Check first. Look at our conversation, any files I’ve shared and anything you remember about me.
2. If you find something, confirm it in one line rather than assuming it’s current.
3. Ask only for what’s missing. If you already have every must-have, go straight to the tailored description.
4. Group short questions into one message, no more than four at a time.
5. Ask each longer-answer question in its own message.
6. Start with the short questions.
7. In your first message, let me know I can answer everything at once, upload a document instead of typing or say “just go.”
8. Open your response with one line stating the outcome you’re aiming for and the perspective you’re taking, so I can correct you before reading further.
9. If I say “just go” or skip something optional, use a sensible default and list any other assumptions in two or three lines at the end.
10. Once you have the must-haves, create the tailored description. Don’t ask if there’s anything else to add.
11. After the tailored description, offer one specific next step, such as a version for a second audience, or a matching emcee introduction.
