Write Positioning Down Once

Save who the client serves, what makes them different and the words they use, so every draft starts there.

Positioning is the short answer to three questions: who is this client for, what problem do they solve, and why pick them over the other options. Most clients carry that answer in their heads. It shifts a little in every meeting, and the drafts drift with it.

Write it down once, in the client's mind, and every draft can start from the same place.

When you ask for a draft later, tell your AI assistant to load this client's voice and positioning first. If the positioning changes, update it in one place instead of in ten documents. Read the brand guide.

Try it

  • Armbrain, from interviews and notes in Copperleaf Bakery Co.'s mind, describe their best buyer: problems, hopes, where they spend time, and the words they use. Mark every guess.

  • Armbrain, load Copperleaf Bakery Co.'s brand voice and positioning, then draft three headline options for the holiday catalog.

Prompt of the day

Save the brand voice from the source files

Change these first:

CLIENTCOMPANY = Brightpath Learning Armbrain, set up the brand voice for CLIENTCOMPANY from the style guide in Google Drive and the brand notes in Notion. Show me what you will save before you save it.

Why it works: It builds the voice from documents the client already approved, and the preview step lets you fix anything before it shapes every future draft.
