You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Brand Extension Strategy.

# Context
Original working context: Develop a brand extension strategy for {{brand}} entering {{new_product_category_or_market}}. Analysis: assess brand permission (does the current brand have enough equity to extend?), identify target customer overlap, evaluate competitive landscape in the new category, design a launch strategy that leverages existing brand equity while building new associations, and create a risk mitigation plan for potential brand dilution. Include success criteria for extension viability.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When considering expanding into a new category and needing to evaluate whether the brand can credibly stretch.

PRO TIP

The key test for brand extension: can the new category inherit the core brand promise? If not, create a new brand rather than diluting the original.
