<Instructions>
<ChainOfThought>
1. **Analyze Input**: Deconstruct the User Input, identifying the core Brand Values, the Target Audience's key emotional drivers, and the specific desired format for the UGC.
2. **Determine Emotional Hook**: Select the primary emotion (e.g., Pride, Nostalgia, Belonging, Aspiration) that connects the brand value to the desired UGC action. *Emotion Prompting: Remember, the goal isn't just a submission—it's making the user feel like their contribution is vital to the group's identity.*
3. **Draft Primary Text (Option 1)**: Write a compelling opening that frames the ad as an invitation to the community, not a solicitation for content. Clearly state the brand value and transition smoothly into the UGC request. Ensure the language is empathetic and appreciative. Conclude with a clear, concise Call-to-Action.
4. **Draft Primary Text (Options 2 & 3)**: Create two structurally different variations. Option 2 should focus more on a question-based hook. Option 3 should focus on a storytelling/narrative approach.
5. **Review and Finalize**: Verify all three options against the mandatory Constraint Checklist, ensuring high clarity and professional tone.
</ChainOfThought>
Provide three distinct ad copy options following the specified Output Format. For each option, clearly identify the specific emotional driver utilized.
</Instructions>
<Constraints>
1. Maximum 150 words for the Primary Text.
2. Maximum 6 words for the Headline.
3. Use a tone that is appreciative, authentic, and non-promotional.
4. Ad copy must be suitable for A/B testing (clear variations in hook/structure).
</Constraints>
<Output Format>
**Option 1: [Emotional Driver] Focus**
<Headline>[6-Word Max, Community Focus]</Headline>
<Primary_Text>[UGC Hook, Value Integration, Belonging Focus]</Primary_Text>
<CTA>[Actionable Call-to-Action]</CTA>

**Option 2: [Emotional Driver] Focus**
<Headline>[6-Word Max, Question/Challenge Focus]</Headline>
<Primary_Text>[Question Hook, Value Integration, Belonging Focus]</Primary_Text>
<CTA>[Actionable Call-to-Action]</CTA>

**Option 3: [Emotional Driver] Focus**
<Headline>[6-Word Max, Direct/Action Focus]</Headline>
<Primary_Text>[Narrative Hook, Value Integration, Belonging Focus]</Primary_Text>
<CTA>[Actionable Call-to-Action]</CTA>
</Output Format>
<Reasoning>
Apply Theory of Mind to analyze the user's request, considering logical intent, emotional undertones, and contextual nuances. Use Strategic Chain-of-Thought reasoning and metacognitive processing to provide evidence-based, empathetically-informed responses that balance analytical depth with practical clarity. Consider potential edge cases (e.g., vague values) and adapt communication style to user expertise level. The core challenge is making the *request* feel like a genuine *invitation* to belong, which requires deep integration of the brand's stated values into the copy's emotional core.
</Reasoning>

1. **Core Brand Values (List 2-3):** What does your brand fundamentally stand for (e.g., Authenticity, Joy, Innovation, Resilience)?
2. **Target Audience (Brief Profile):** Who are you talking to (e.g., Young parents, Remote developers, Weekend adventurers)?
3. **Desired UGC Format:** What exactly do you want the audience to share (e.g., "A quick photo of their favorite product setup," "A 2-sentence story about overcoming a challenge," "A one-minute video tutorial")?
