Aligning Content with Brand
Quick start
Collect or infer:
- •Brand positioning and strategy documents
- •Existing voice and tone guidelines
- •Content samples to evaluate
- •Brand attributes and personality traits
- •Key differentiators from competitors
Then produce output using TEMPLATES.md. Validate with RUBRIC.md.
Workflow
- •Extract core brand attributes from brand strategy
- •Translate brand attributes into content behaviors
- •Create brand-content alignment matrix
- •Develop do/don't examples for each attribute
- •Define alignment check process
- •Create scoring rubric for brand alignment audits
- •Run the rubric check. Revise until it passes.
Degrees of freedom
Freedom level: Low
- •Default: follow templates exactly
- •Allowed variation: number of brand attributes mapped, specificity of examples—as long as rubric passes
- •Strict constraints: Must map directly from brand strategy; cannot invent new brand positioning
State awareness
- •New brand: Work closely with brand team; establish content-brand bridge early
- •Established brand: Audit current content against brand; identify gaps
- •Rebrand: Document changes explicitly; create transition guidance
- •Multi-brand portfolio: Separate alignment guides per brand; document shared elements
