Brand Strategy Builder

Act as a senior brand strategist with experience building brands for startups, scale-ups, and enterprise clients across multiple industries. Build a comprehensive, shareable brand strategy document for my business.

BUSINESS CONTEXT:
• Company name: [COMPANY NAME]
• Business description: [WHAT THE BUSINESS DOES — in 1–2 sentences]
• Target audience: [AUDIENCE — demographics, psychographics, job title if B2B]
• Main competitor: [MAIN COMPETITOR or "no direct competitor"]
• Business stage: [e.g. Pre-launch, Early stage, Growth, Rebrand]
• Current brand problem (if any): [WHAT ISN'T WORKING OR WHAT YOU WANT TO CHANGE]

COMPLETE BRAND STRATEGY DOCUMENT:

1. BRAND POSITIONING STATEMENT
Using the Geoffrey Moore template ("For [audience] who [need/want], [brand] is the [category] that [benefit]. Unlike [alternative], [brand] [key differentiator]."), write the positioning statement. Then explain in plain English what each part means and why each word was chosen deliberately.

2. UNIQUE VALUE PROPOSITION (UVP)
One sentence. No jargon. No superlatives like "best" or "world-class." Tell customers exactly what we do, for whom, and what makes us different. Then write 3 alternative UVP framings and explain the trade-offs between them.

3. BRAND ARCHETYPE & PERSONALITY
• Assign a Jungian brand archetype (e.g. The Expert, The Rebel, The Caregiver, The Creator) and explain why it fits this brand
• List 5 brand personality adjectives with a brief explanation of each
• For each adjective: show what it looks like in practice vs. what it does NOT mean (to prevent misapplication)

4. TONE OF VOICE GUIDELINES
• 4 "We are..." statements (what we sound like)
• 4 "We are NOT..." statements (what we never sound like)
• 6 "Do this / Not this" example pairs — written as actual sentences, not abstract principles
• Vocabulary guide: 5 words/phrases we own and use intentionally, 5 we actively avoid

5. MESSAGING BY AUDIENCE SEGMENT
If there are 2–3 distinct audience types, write a unique core value message for each. Different people need to hear different things to reach the same conclusion.

6. COMPETITIVE DIFFERENTIATION
Analyse [MAIN COMPETITOR] and explain:
• What they do genuinely well — be honest, learn from it
• Where they are weak or where the market is underserved by them
• The specific position we should own that they cannot credibly claim
• Our differentiation story in exactly 3 sentences

7. BRAND STORY (100 words)
Write a concise brand origin or mission story in our tone of voice. This is for the About page, pitch deck, or investor brief.

8. VISUAL IDENTITY DIRECTION (words only, no design required)
Describe in words:
• Colour mood and feeling (warm/cold, bold/muted, minimal/expressive — not hex codes)
• Typography personality (formal/informal, serif/sans-serif, modern/classic)
• Photography and imagery style
• 3 reference brands with a visual identity worth learning from and specifically why

9. BRAND DO'S AND DON'TS
A quick-reference card: 5 things that are always on-brand, 5 things that are never on-brand — usable by any team member creating content.

Format this as a clean, shareable brand document with clear section headers throughout.
