How to plan a conference email marketing campaign with Claude
Registrations come from a sequence, not a single blast. The Marketing & Communications skill builds a week-by-week campaign calendar across email, social, paid and partner channels, flags the moments that matter most, and writes the copy with subject lines and preview text.
What you'll need
- Event name, date and location (or virtual)
- Registration open date and early-bird deadline
- Audience segments: past attendees, new prospects, sponsors, speakers, press
- A one-sentence value proposition
Step by step
- Load the Marketing & Comms skill. Paste the conference-marketing-comms SKILL.md into a Claude.ai Project, or install all eight skills for Claude Code. Install steps →
- Give the basics. The skill asks for the event name, date, location and one-sentence value proposition before writing anything, then for the registration open date, early-bird deadline and segments.
- Get the week-by-week plan. Claude plans email sends, social posts, paid ad windows, partner amplification moments and countdown milestones — each beat with channel, message angle, CTA and target segment.
- Focus on the big moments. The plan flags the two or three highest-leverage moments: early-bird close, speaker announcement, final push.
- Write the emails. Ask for the announcement, early-bird, speaker spotlight, last-chance, day-before and post-event emails. Give the tone, audience and the one thing you want people to feel; every email comes with a subject line and preview text.
- Optional: schedule and send. With ClickUp or Asana connected, each campaign beat becomes a task. With Google Calendar connected, send dates and ad windows are blocked. With Gmail connected, campaigns can be sent directly.
