As a senior marketing manager, you understand the importance of maintaining a consistent brand voice across all marketing channels. One popular tool that can help you achieve this is ChatGPT, an AI language model designed by OpenAI.
With the right approach, you can leverage ChatGPT to review and revise your content, ensuring your brand messaging remains on point. In this post, I’ll guide you through using ChatGPT effectively for consistent brand messaging.
Step 1: Establish Clear Brand Guidelines
To begin, define your brand guidelines, which include your brand’s voice, tone, style, and messaging.
Consider preferred terminology, tone (friendly, professional, or casual), writing style (concise or detailed), and any specific phrases or slogans associated with your brand.
You can refer to these 15 examples of brand guidelines.
Step 2: Make Sure ChatGPT Understands Your Brand Guidlines
You need to “teach” ChatGPT about your brand guidelines. If your brand guidelines document is too long, you may need to enter the content in several entries. For example:
ChatGPT, please learn the first part of my brand guidelines: Brand story and mission statement – [insert your brand story and mission statement here].
Now, learn the second part of my brand guidelines: Logo guidelines – [insert your logo guidelines here].
Continue learning the third part of my brand guidelines: Color palette – [insert your color palette here].
Next, learn the fourth part of my brand guidelines: Typography – [insert your typography guidelines here].
Please learn the fifth part of my brand guidelines: Imagery and photography – [insert your imagery and photography guidelines here].
Now, learn the sixth part of my brand guidelines: Iconography and illustrations – [insert your iconography and illustration guidelines here].
Proceed to learn the seventh part of my brand guidelines: Voice and tone – [insert your voice and tone guidelines here].
Learn the eighth part of my brand guidelines: Social media guidelines – [insert your social media guidelines here].
Continue with the ninth part of my brand guidelines: Print and digital templates – [insert your print and digital template guidelines here].
Finally, learn the tenth part of my brand guidelines: Legal and copyright guidelines – [insert your legal and copyright guidelines here].
After each prompt, ChatGPT will have the opportunity to learn and understand the specific section of your brand guidelines. Once all sections have been provided, you can ask questions or request advice related to the brand guidelines, and ChatGPT will be better equipped to assist you based on the information you’ve shared.
Step 3: Craft a Prompt for ChatGPT
Create a prompt that instructs ChatGPT to review the content you provide, ensuring it aligns with your brand guidelines. For example:
Please review the following content and make sure it adheres to our brand guidelines, maintaining a friendly tone, concise writing style, and including our slogan ‘Develop sustaining growth’.
Step 4: Input Your Content
Insert the content you want ChatGPT to review and revise. This can be anything from a blog post or social media post to an email campaign.
Again, if your content is very long; you need to design your prompt properly for ChatGPT review your content section by section.
Step 5: Review ChatGPT’s Output
After running the prompt, ChatGPT will provide a revised version of your content, considering your brand guidelines.
You need to carefully review the output to ensure it meets your expectations and aligns with your brand’s voice and messaging.
Step 6: Refine the Prompt if Necessary
If the output isn’t satisfactory, you may need to refine the prompt or provide more specific instructions to ChatGPT.
For instance, you can highlight particular areas of concern, such as tone or word choice, and ask ChatGPT to focus on those aspects.
Step 7: Iterate Until Satisfied
Repeat the process, refining your prompt and instructions as needed, until you receive content that meets your brand guidelines.
By following these steps, you can leverage ChatGPT to review and revise content, ensuring that your brand messaging remains consistent across all marketing channels.
If you have resources, you can develop script to automate and streamline the process with a central interface for different types of users in your organization to easily check messages to maintain a consistent brand.
As a senior marketing manager, utilizing AI-powered tools like ChatGPT can save you time and effort while maintaining the high standards your brand requires. But, at least for now, it can’t replace the necessity of a brand marketing strategist in your organization.
