Describe your campaign in plain English, including:

  • Campaign goal: What you want people to do (buy, sign up, attend, share)
  • Target audience: Who you're speaking to and what matters to them
  • Brand voice: Your tone (playful, professional, urgent, inspiring)
  • Asset types: Which formats you need (Instagram posts, 15-second video, podcast intro)
  • Visual direction: Style preferences (minimalist, vibrant, dark, editorial)

STEP 3: Generate campaign assets

Ask Claude to create your campaign. It will call Picsart MCP to generate images with Flux or Recraft, videos with Sora or Kling, and audio with ElevenLabs. Claude coordinates everything to match your brief and maintain brand consistency.

STEP 4: Review and refine

Check that all assets work together as a campaign: Not perfect? Ask Claude to regenerate specific assets or adjust the brief for better results.

  • Visual consistency: Colors, style, and composition match across all assets
  • Message alignment: All pieces support the same campaign goal and voice
  • Technical specs: Assets meet platform requirements (dimensions, duration, file size)

Tips for best results

💡 Be specific about brand constraints

Include color codes, logo placement rules, and forbidden elements in your brief. Claude will enforce these across every asset it generates.

💡 Start with platform specs

Tell Claude where each asset will live (Instagram feed, YouTube pre-roll, podcast intro). It will automatically format everything correctly.

💡 Use examples from past campaigns

Share URLs or describe previous work you liked. Claude will match that aesthetic while creating something new.

💡 Generate variations for testing

Ask for 3-5 versions of each asset with different messaging or visuals. Pick winners or run A/B tests before committing to production.

Be specific about constraints like colors, dimensions, or platform specs. Example: "Create a product launch campaign for eco-friendly water bottles targeting millennials.

Picsart MCP uses your Picsart account credits. Each generation costs credits based on the model and settings (image generation typically costs 2-10 credits, video 50-200 credits depending on length and model, audio 5-20 credits).
