Your best campaign insights are buried in decks—AI helps you surface them fast.

Campaign performance reviews are packed with insights, but let’s be honest, they’re long, dense, and often hard to act on. Whether it’s slide 43 of the QBR deck or buried notes from a cross-functional thread, the signal gets lost in the noise.

But there’s a simple campaign insights prompt for Dropbox Dash that can help you cut through it—and get back to what matters.

Prompt to try:

“Summarize key takeaways from recent campaign decks, briefs, and reports—highlight wins, gaps, and next steps.”

Paste the prompt into Dash Chat, upload your recap deck or brief (if you haven’t already), and hit return. In seconds, you’ll get a performance-focused summary—highlighting wins, gaps, and what to apply to your next campaign.

Already connected your tools? Dash will automatically pull in relevant decks, briefs, and campaign materials from Gmail, Notion, Outlook, and more. You can also upload new files directly into Dash Chat to get a personalized summary trained on your team’s actual content.

Interested? Read on to see how your team can use Dash to recap campaigns, highlight what worked, and uncover new opportunities—using the content already at their fingertips.

Why campaign insights get lost in the shuffle

Even the most thorough teams struggle to keep track of campaign performance learnings. Two common issues show up again and again:

Insight is hard to extract from scattered campaign content

Campaign knowledge lives everywhere and nowhere at once. Strategy decks in Google Docs, performance metrics in dashboards, quick wins shared in Slack—rarely do they converge into one source of truth. The best insights are often hidden in a slide right at the end of the deck, or lost in a passing comment thread that no one bookmarked.

Most analysis workflows don’t match the speed of execution

When a campaign ends, teams are already sprinting to the next one. Debriefs arrive too late to inform the next project, or never get read. As a result, key learnings get left behind, missteps get repeated, and no one has the bandwidth to revisit lessons already paid for.

What teams actually need from AI marketing insights

Marketing teams have heaps of data at their fingertips, yet finding the nuggets that matter is often a struggle. What marketers need is clarity—insights that are easy to access, directly tied to the work, and actionable enough to shape what comes next.

Here's what makes the difference:

The ability to ask a question and get a direct answer

Campaign analysis shouldn’t require opening five different files just to answer a basic question. Whether it’s “What drove click-through last quarter?” or “How did our Q2 email test perform?”—teams need the flexibility to ask specific questions and get targeted, relevant answers.

Answers drawn from content people already created

Dash reads the decks, briefs, and recaps you’ve already created. No need to format new reports or copy/paste from slides. You’ll get better answers with less rework.

A summary that helps with next-step decisions

Instead of echoing back raw metrics, the AI helps teams understand impact, spot missed opportunities, and move forward with clarity. It’s a fast way to capture lessons before they’re forgotten—and apply them where they matter most.

One prompt to pull insights from your campaign content

Marketing teams rarely have time to comb through every document, deck, or thread to figure out what worked. A single prompt—triggered via universal search or AI chat—can turn existing decks, documents, and reports into a source of focused campaign insight.

The campaign insights prompt helps at every stage of your marketing workflow:

Use the campaign insights prompt to summarize your campaign

Ask once, and Dash will scan your reports, briefs, and slides to surface what stood out. The campaign insights prompt highlights key performance metrics in your decks and reports, identifies strong assets, and suggests what to improve next time. This can provide a fast way to get AI insights—helping teams quickly turn campaign content into actionable insight. Of course, this prompt is just a starting point—you can tweak it to fit your specific needs over time. For tips on getting the most out of prompts in Dash, check out our AI prompting guide.

Works across tools your team already uses

Dash pulls from Gmail, Notion, Microsoft Outlook, connected cloud storage accounts, and other platforms—so your campaign context isn’t scattered. By surfacing past campaign wrap-ups, reports, and post mortems in one place, Dash helps you rediscover insights that might otherwise get lost in the shuffle. It complements dedicated analytics platforms like Hive or Looker by making the human side of campaign reporting—what actually happened and why—easy to access, without duplicating what those tools do best.

Why this prompt works for campaign reviews

Whether you're reviewing a global product launch or a Q2 email test, the campaign insights prompt helps you:

  • Cut through noise: Dash pinpoints actual outcomes and recommendations—no need to reread every line of a wrap-up deck
  • Act faster: Get next-step recommendations while they’re still fresh, not weeks after the fact
  • Build smarter presentations: Turn scattered wins into a story leadership can follow

Real moments where AI campaign insights make a difference

Built for momentum, the campaign insights prompt brings clarity to key moments in the workflow—helping teams act faster and present with purpose. The insights provide support for stronger presentations, closer alignment, and faster action.

Here are the key moments in a marketing workflow where teams are helped to move faster and present stronger, while staying aligned:

Wrapping up a campaign and prepping for your next one

When one campaign ends, the next is already taking shape. Instead of writing a full recap from scratch, use a prompt in Dash Chat to generate a summary that highlights what worked, what didn’t, and what to apply next time. It helps ensure learnings are captured while they’re still fresh—and actually reused.

Prepping slides for leadership or cross-functional updates

Meetings move fast—being able to quickly surface results and context helps you stay ahead. Use campaign insights prompts to surface key performance moments and link directly to the supporting content—like campaign briefs, launch decks, or customer feedback. It makes building a compelling, data-backed narrative faster and easier.

Reviewing mid-campaign performance

Whether you're halfway through a rollout or planning a new push, a marketing insights prompt can surface what’s resonating so far—based on reporting and commentary your team is already sharing. It doesn’t even need to be a polished report, connect Dash with Slack to pull commentary straight from the campaign group chat. That visibility helps you adjust in real time, without waiting for a formal report or final results.

How Dash brings campaign materials together

Dash pulls all your campaign content into one place—automatically organized, instantly searchable, and ready to use. Whether you’re running a wrap-up, building a deck, or checking performance notes, Dash helps you see the full picture.

Here’s how your tools stay connected:
