Describe your brand’s voice

Turns examples of your writing into a voice guide anyone can follow.

The prompt

Here are examples of writing from my business that sound right to me: [paste three to five short examples you’ve published, such as posts, emails or web pages]. Analyse them and write a short voice guide: three to five words that describe our voice, each with what it means and what it doesn’t; do and don’t examples; words and phrases we use and avoid; and how we write headlines, calls to action and replies to complaints. Then, as a test, rewrite this sentence in our voice: [a sentence that doesn’t sound right yet].

Tips for a better answer

  • Share the guide with everyone who writes for you, and paste it in at the start of any AI chat about your marketing.
  • Review it after a month. A voice guide gets better as you see what works.
