Strategies: Branding

Guides brand strategy: purpose, values, positioning, storytelling, voice, and visual identity. Companies with consistent branding see 23–33% revenue lift; people remember stories ~22× more than facts alone. Use this skill when defining a new brand, auditing consistency, or aligning messaging across touchpoints.

Keywords: brand strategy, brand guidelines, visual identity, storytelling, brand voice, design tokens, slide deck, corporate identity, style guide, positioning

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Scope

  • Brand strategy: Purpose, values, positioning, differentiation, target audience
  • Brand storytelling: Origin story, hero's journey, narrative arc, brand archetypes
  • Brand voice & tone: Voice, tone, avoid terms, preferred wording
  • Brand visual identity: Colors, typography, logo rules—strategy layer; implementation in brand-visual-generator, logo-generator

Initial Assessment

Project context: Read root contextus.md when present and load only the modules relevant to this task. Without Contextus, use available project material or user-provided facts and ask for missing information; do not create a parallel context system.

Identify:

  1. Scope: New brand, audit, or alignment
  2. Touchpoints: Website, social, product UI, directories, content
  3. Existing assets: Brand guide, logo, style guide

Brand Storytelling

Origin Story

  • What: Journey, founding, milestones, personal experiences that shaped the company
  • Why: Emotional connection; 58% of customers buy based on company values
  • Elements: Who founded it; why created; challenges overcome; vision; how it evolved

Hero's Journey (Customer as Hero)

ElementContent
HeroYour customer; their needs, wants, context
ProblemWhat they face; how they solve it now
Inciting insightReframing that creates urgency
Brand's roleGuide, tool, or partner—not hero; how you enable resolution
TransformationWhat better future looks like; proof (case studies, testimonials)

Brand Narrative Arc

  • Protagonist: Customer facing a challenge
  • Stakes: What happens if nothing changes
  • Proof: Data, case studies, testimonials
  • CTA: Place call to action in the story; provoke action

Brand Archetypes (12 Types)

Brand Guidelines Structure

Single source of truth. Include:

  • Purpose & values: Why you exist; what you stand for
  • Positioning: One-liner; differentiation
  • Story: Origin story; hero's journey summary
  • Voice & tone: Voice, tone, avoid, preferred
  • Logo: Usage rules, clear space, variants (light/dark)
  • Colors: Primary, secondary, CTA (HEX, RGB, CMYK)
  • Typography: Font families, hierarchy, sizing
  • Imagery: Photography tone; iconography style

Visual Specification Delivery (Design Tokens)

When the user needs actionable specs (not only strategy)—for web, slides, or print—produce a token table the team can paste into a design system, media kit, or slide master. Align with brand-visual-generator for full web/CSS detail.

Token categoryWhat to documentExample fields
ColorsNamed roles + values for light/dark if applicablePrimary #______, text primary #______, background #______, accent 1–3, CTA, border, error/success
TypographyFamily, weight, size scale, line-heightDisplay / H1–H3 / body / caption; web-safe or system fallbacks
SpacingBase unit and scalee.g. 8px base; section gaps; logo clear space in em or px
Non-text accentsCharts, shapes, dividersRotate accent colors; avoid arbitrary one-off hues outside palette

Applying tokens across surfaces

  • Web / product: CSS variables or design tokens; see brand-visual-generator.
  • Slides (PowerPoint, Google Slides, Keynote): Set slide master background + default title/body fonts from token table; map theme colors to primary/secondary/background/text; reuse one accent per deck section where possible.
  • Documents (Word, Google Docs, PDF): Define paragraph styles (Title, Heading 1–3, Normal, Caption) with fonts and colors from tokens; set default page background if brand uses off-white.

If the user pastes an existing brand PDF or bullet list, extract and normalize into this token table before suggesting implementation.

Output Format

  • Brand strategy (purpose, values, positioning, differentiation)
  • Story (origin story, hero's journey, narrative arc)
  • Voice & tone (voice, tone, avoid, preferred)
  • Archetype (if applicable)
  • Visual (high-level; defer to brand-visual-generator for web specs)
  • Design token table (colors, type scale, spacing) when deliverable must be implementation-ready
  • Slide/document notes (master fonts, theme colors) when touchpoints include decks or docs
  • Contextus for maintained project-specific brand and visual identity
