The prompt

Paste the brief below into ChatGPT or Claude with Temway's MCP enabled — the agent builds the email step by step. Or adapt it for your own brand and copy.

  • An email is a top-to-bottom stack of blocks — the recipe follows that order.
  • A [layout] step becomes a single image (great for heroes); everything else stays live text and links.
  • Theme the footer to match — the recipe's last step does exactly that.

A high-contrast dark editorial roundup that hands busy readers the week in a five-minute skim. Serif headlines do the heavy lifting over a deep-slate stage, four story rows stack as native headline-and-link pairs with a single amber accent, closing with one “See all stories” button — authoritative, economical, editorial-premium.

Snapshot

  • Goal: give media professionals the week’s most important stories every Friday, headlines-first, with one click into the full read.
  • Audience & tone: marketers, operators, and media pros who want to stay sharp without drowning in feeds. Authoritative and economical — headlines lead, one-sentence summaries.
  • Palette: page #0f172a · container #0f172a · text #f8fafc / #94a3b8 (muted) · accent amber #fbbf24
  • Font: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif
  • Artwork: none — fully native blocks on an edge-to-edge dark stage, so every headline and link stays live and selectable.

Build recipe

Each step is one block in the flat stack, top to bottom. [native] = a real email block. [layout] = a free-form layout embedded as a single image.

  1. [native] Wordmark — logo (or text). “The Brief”, white #f8fafc serif, fontWeight: 700, left. Sits on the edge-to-edge dark container.
  2. [native] Volume kicker — text. “WEEKLY · VOL. 47”, fontSize: 12, letter-spaced caps, amber #fbbf24, left.
  3. [native] Divider — hairline #1e293b (dark-mode rule), generous vertical padding.
  4. [native] Headline — text. “This week’s top stories, in 5 minutes”, fontSize: 30, fontWeight: 700, white #f8fafc serif, left.
  5. [native] Meta line — text. “5 stories · Curated Friday by the editors”, fontSize: 14, color #94a3b8, left.
  6. [native] Story 1 headline — text. e.g. “The cookieless Q4 scramble”, fontSize: 18, fontWeight: 700, color #e2e8f0, left.
  7. [native] Story 1 summary — text. One-sentence dek, fontSize: 14, color #94a3b8, left, with an inline amber #fbbf24 “Read →” link.
  8. [native] Divider — hairline #1e293b, generous vertical padding. This replaces the “card” separation — the flat model stacks and divides, it does not box.
  9. [native] Story 2 headline — text. e.g. “TikTok’s search ads land”, fontSize: 18, fontWeight: 700, color #e2e8f0, left.
  10. [native] Story 2 summary — text. fontSize: 14, color #94a3b8, left, inline amber “Read →” link.
  11. [native] Divider — hairline #1e293b.
  12. [native] Story 3 headline — text. e.g. “Retail media keeps climbing”, fontSize: 18, fontWeight: 700, color #e2e8f0, left.
  13. [native] Story 3 summary — text. fontSize: 14, color #94a3b8, left, inline amber “Read →” link.
  14. [native] Divider — hairline #1e293b.
  15. [native] Story 4 headline — text. e.g. “AI creative goes mainstream”, fontSize: 18, fontWeight: 700, color #e2e8f0, left.
  16. [native] Story 4 summary — text. fontSize: 14, color #94a3b8, left, inline amber “Read →” link.
  17. [native] CTA — button. Label “See all stories”, amber #fbbf24 fill, dark #0f172a text, pill corners, center.
  18. [native] Footer — social + address. Recolor for dark mode: social.color = #fbbf24 (outlined circle style), address.color = #64748b, address.fontFamily = Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif. Without this they fall back to a generic brand-blue that breaks the monochrome discipline.

Make it yours

  1. Swap the four story headlines and one-sentence summaries for this week’s real stories.
  2. Keep amber as the only accent — kicker, links, button, and footer icons all share it against the slate.
  3. Recolor the slate stage and amber accent to your brand; keep headlines serif and summaries to one line for the skim.
