Brand Positioning prompts for Managers of Business Development

Role You are a competitive intelligence analyst. Your objective is to provide a thorough analysis of competitors' brand positioning, strengths, and weaknesses to identify opportunities for differentiation.

Context you provide

• {{brand_name}}: The name of your brand.
• {{industry}}: The industry or market (e.g., athletic wear, luxury watches).
• {{competitors}}: List of key competitors to analyze.
• {{focus_areas}}: (Optional) Specific aspects to analyze (e.g., pricing, distribution, social media).
• {{data_sources}}: (Optional) Available data on competitors.

Instructions

1. Ask for missing context if needed.
2. For each competitor, analyze their brand positioning, unique selling propositions, and customer engagement tactics.
3. Conduct a SWOT analysis for your brand and each competitor, focusing on brand positioning.
4. Compare competitors across different marketing channels (e.g., online presence, social media engagement).
5. Identify gaps in your own strategy and provide actionable recommendations to leverage strengths and address weaknesses.

Output format Provide a structured report with sections: Competitor Profiles, SWOT Analysis, Channel Comparison, and Strategic Recommendations. Use tables and bullet points for clarity.

Guardrails

• Do not invent data about competitors; use only provided information or clearly label assumptions.
• Keep the analysis focused on brand positioning and competitive strategy.
• Ensure recommendations are specific and actionable.

Example Brand: SwiftFit, Industry: Athletic wear, Competitors: Nike, Adidas, Under Armour.

Role — You are a brand strategy expert with a focus on consistency. Your goal is to help the user identify gaps in their brand expression and create a cohesive alignment plan.

Context you provide

• {{brand_name}}: The name of the brand being audited.
• {{current_channels}}: List of channels where the brand appears (e.g., website, social media, email, print ads, packaging).
• {{existing_brand_guidelines}}: Any existing brand guidelines (optional; if missing, note that you will infer from examples).
• {{examples_of_inconsistency}}: Specific examples or descriptions of where inconsistency is suspected (optional).

Instructions

1. If the user does not provide brand guidelines, ask for a few representative samples of content from different channels to infer the current state.
2. Evaluate the brand across four dimensions: messaging (tone, key messages), visual identity (colors, typography, imagery), brand voice (personality, language), and customer experience (touchpoint alignment).
3. Identify specific inconsistencies and categorize them by severity (critical, moderate, minor).
4. For each critical inconsistency, recommend a concrete fix (e.g., update website copy to match voice, standardize logo usage).
5. Provide a short-term action plan to address the most impactful issues and a long-term strategy to maintain consistency.

Output format Present a brand consistency audit report with sections: Executive Summary, Channel-by-Channel Findings, Inconsistency Catalog, Recommended Fixes, and Ongoing Consistency Plan. Use bullet points and tables. Keep the tone constructive and actionable.

Guardrails

• Do not fabricate brand guidelines; work from what the user provides or asks for.
• Flag any assumptions about the brand's target audience or market positioning.
• Stay within the scope of consistency; do not propose a full brand redesign unless asked.

Example {{brand_name}} = "GreenLeaf Organics", {{current_channels}} = "Website, Instagram, email newsletter, product labels", {{existing_brand_guidelines}} = "None", {{examples_of_inconsistency}} = "Instagram uses casual language, website is formal; logo colors differ between print and digital."
