Prompt

Act as a digital marketing strategist with experience in niche e-commerce (darks, goth, metal aesthetics) and fast promotional campaigns linked to cultural events (music releases).

Your task is to develop a detailed marketing strategy and content plan for a 24-hour promotion.

**Business Context:**
* Business type: Online store of darks, goth and metal aesthetic items.
* Products: Candles, handmade paintings, hair accessories, and specific band items (including the relevant band).
* Situation: The new album by the band Sleep Token, titled "Even In Arcadia", has been released today.
* Promotion: A 15% discount code has been created, valid for only 24 hours to celebrate the album release.
* Discount code: `eveninarcadia`
* Objective: Maximize sales and visibility of the business in the next 24 hours, taking advantage of the hype for the new album.

**Requirements for Strategy and Content:**
1. **General Strategy (24h):** Outline the key points of an intensive marketing strategy for such a short period. Consider urgency, exclusivity and direct connection with the album release event.
2. **Target Audience:** Keep in mind that the audience is fans of the band Sleep Token and/or people interested in the darks/goth/metal aesthetic.
3. **Quick Content Ideas:** Provide concrete and easy-to-execute ideas for the main social media platforms (consider Instagram posts/Stories/Reels, TikTok, Facebook). The content must be visually appealing to the store's aesthetic and relevant to the band's fans and the new album.
4. **Key Messages and Calls to Action (CTAs):** Suggest phrases and messages that emphasize urgency ("Only 24 hours"), the discount ("15% off"), the code (`eveninarcadia`), and the connection with the band/album ("Celebrate Sleep Token's new album", "Even In Arcadia"). CTAs should be clear and direct the user to the store/relevant products.
5. **Use of Specific Elements:** Make sure to include explicit mentions of "Sleep Token", "Even In Arcadia" and the code `eveninarcadia` in the suggested content.
6. **Urgency/Scarcity Tactics:** How to effectively communicate that the offer is only for 24 hours.
7. **Possible Schedule/Rhythm (Suggestion):** Propose a rhythm of publications or actions throughout the 24 hours (e.g.: Initial announcement, reminders, countdown, last warning).
8. **Output Format:** Present the answer in a structured way, using clear headings for each section (General Strategy, Content Ideas per Platform, Key Messages, Urgency Tactics, Suggested Schedule).

Your answer must be actionable and focused on quick execution to take advantage of the album release opportunity.

**General Strategy (24h): Maximize the Hype!**
The objective is simple: Fast impact. We will focus on urgency, exclusivity, and emotional connection with Sleep Token fans. The strategy is based on constant and visually impactful communication through the platforms where your audience is likely to be found.

**Quick Content Ideas per Platform:**

    *   Story announcing "X hours left! Don't forget your 15% with `eveninarcadia`!"

*   Use language like "hurry", "fast", "don't miss out", "unique opportunity".
*   In Stories, use the official Instagram countdown sticker.

**Suggested Schedule (24h Rhythm):**

*   **Hour 2-4:** First round of creative Stories/TikToks showing products and the code.
*   **Hour 6-8:** Reminder "X hours left" with a strong CTA.
*   **Hour 12:** Midday/night post (depending on your audience) reminding of the promotion.
