Step 02

Brand Voice

Drag each slider to define how your brand communicates. These scales will guide tone across messaging, marketing, and client experience.

Step 03

Brand Archetypes

Select 1 or 2 archetypes that resonate with your brand's deeper character. Hover any card to see brand examples. Click to select.

Why do these archetypes fit? Reference your values, services, or tone as evidence.

Step 04

Audience Profiles

Define the people your brand serves best. Start with your primary audience — you can add up to 3 distinct profiles.

Step 05

Competitive Position

Clarify how your brand fits within its competitive landscape and what makes it meaningfully different.

Category & Context

What industry, niche, or market does your brand operate in? Who are the typical players or expectations in this space?

Audience Pain / Market Gap

What common frustrations or unmet needs exist in your space? Where is the market lacking?

Brand Promise

What do you offer that others don't — or better? What makes working with you meaningfully different?

Competitive Landscape

Name up to 5 brands you compete with or admire. For each, note what they stand for and how they relate to you.

Step 06

Market Positioning

Plot your current and desired market position on the grid. Then write a positioning statement that anchors your brand.
