- Package the full batch as a weekly content plan with posting schedule.

Tips
- Brief ChatGPT on the target platform before generating — the optimal clip length and dance energy differs between TikTok and LinkedIn.
- Ask for caption variants with different tones so you can test what resonates with the audience.
- For a campaign, keep the dance style consistent across all clips so they feel like a series.
