Note: to be able to upload images to ChatGPT you'll need to have access to GPT-4 (Plus or Enterprise subscription).

All feedback might not be relevant for you as ChatGPT is likely to lack the context you have, but as with all feedback, not everything is applicable.

What's great with ChatGPT is that you can alter the prompt to receive feedback on most types of marketing assets. You can make use of the following prompt outline and customise it to your use case:

Let me know if you have any questions or comments, and feel free to share this with your colleagues to spark a discussion in your marketing department.
