Sample input
Project summary: A small museum needs a visual campaign for a summer exhibition. The audience includes tourists, members, and local families. Concepts are due in one week. Deliverables: Street poster, transit ad, web banner, email header, and social graphics. Available materials: Draft exhibition title, curator's draft copy, logo files, three approved artwork images, and last year's campaign. No current brand guide was included. Approval people: Marketing manager is the main contact. The curator, museum director, and exhibiting artist may review. Final authority is unclear. Production requirements: Transit specifications are missing. Poster size is confirmed. Image crops may require artist approval. Open concerns: Marketing requested an inviting family tone, but the curator wants the campaign to feel serious and academic.
