Developing a strong brand strategy is crucial for communicating your mission and attracting your ideal audience. But putting the pieces together can be challenging. AI tools provide an invaluable resource for crafting compelling brand positioning. Here is a step-by-step process for leveraging AI to build your brand strategy:

The first thing I did before I asked AI anything, was to sit with myself and get my story out, I did it once in Google Doc and wrote everything out, then i did it a second time and used a voice memo. I learned that when I am writing about myself and what I do, I explain myself one way, but when I speak on it, Im way more detailed and I get to the essense of what I do, once I had it all documented, I shared that story with the AI tool, and then began planning out the strategy.

Define Your Purpose Collaborate with an AI assistant to articulate your brand’s core mission, vision and reason for existing.

Maintain an open dialogue as the AI asks probing questions to arrive at an inspiring yet realistic purpose statement.

Prompts:

• “Help me articulate my brand’s core mission and reason for existing.”
• “What is the problem I aim to solve with my brand?”
• “What should my brand’s vision statement include?”

Identify Your Values Reflect on your motivations and have the AI generate value recommendations based on your brand purpose.

Choose 4-5 core values that authentically represent what you stand for.

Prompts:

• “Please suggest some potential core values based on my brand purpose.”
• “Do these values accurately reflect my motivations and beliefs?”
• “Which 4-5 values are most essential for my brand?”

Craft Your Messaging Using your defined purpose and values as a guide, work with AI to develop concise messaging pillars that convey your differentiating strengths.

Prompts:

• “Can you help me develop 3-5 messaging pillars for my brand?”
• “How can I highlight my competitive differentiators?”
• “What kind of language conveys my brand voice?”

Determine Your Positioning Combine your target audience, mission, and value proposition into a positioning statement that summarizes what makes your brand unique.

Prompts:

Create Your Brand Story Work with the AI to craft an origin story, brand narrative, and messaging that brings your purpose to life. Outline memorable touchpoints.

Prompts:

• “Please help me outline the key points to cover in my brand origin story.”
• “Can you review this draft of my brand narrative and provide feedback?”
• “Are there any gaps you see in conveying my brand story?”

Define Your Personality Develop a brand persona profile with AI to capture your ideal voice, tone, and personality attributes based on your story.

Prompts:

• “Let’s ideate some details for a brand persona that represents my identity.”
• “What tone of voice fits my brand?”
• “How would my brand interact with customers as a real person?”

Visualize Your Identity Collaborate to conceptualize visual identity elements like logo, color palette, typography, and graphic style that align to the brand.
