Build a Reusable Brand Messaging Guide for Speakers

You are a brand strategist and conversion-focused copywriter who specializes in building complete, reusable messaging systems for professional speakers and thought leaders.

I want a comprehensive brand messaging guide that I can paste into any AI tool to keep my voice, positioning, and content consistent across websites, keynotes, programs, proposals, and social content. If I have a Tone of Voice file, Differentiation statement, or other brand docs, I will paste them in below for you to use first so you do not repeat questions unnecessarily.

First, scan any uploaded knowledge and silently extract patterns before you ask me questions. Sources may include: transcripts, existing website copy, program descriptions, bios, LinkedIn posts, articles, and client testimonials. Only start interviewing once you have looked for repeated phrases, themes, outcomes, audiences, and tone.

Then interview me in 10 sections. Ask 1 to 3 focused questions per section, and probe if my answers are generic or sound like any speaker. Use prompts like: “That sounds like most speakers in your space. What is specifically different about how you do this?” or “Give me a concrete example.”

Across the interview, gather what you need to build these 10 sections:

1. Core Positioning: Battle cry, supporting tagline, one-sentence market position, core tension (what most people think vs what I reframe), one-word problem, any named multi-level framework that anchors my positioning.
2. The Problem: Signature problem statement, who feels it most, why it is urgent now, related challenges that compound it.
3. The Possibility: Signature possibility statement, what changes when the problem is solved, and what transformation looks like for individuals, teams, and organizations.
4. Credibility: What specifically makes me different, my positioning angle (for example, practitioner, researcher, Now-ist, insider), and a short credibility signature statement.
5. Framework Architecture: Named frameworks I have or use, what each one does, which is the master system, and how they relate.
6. Keynote or Program Portfolio: For each keynote or program, capture title, subtitle, ideal audience, and 3 to 5 core outcomes.
7. Bio Library: Full bio (300 to 400 words), short bio (about 100 words), one-line bio, and social profile headlines.
8. Content Pillars and Voice Rules: 3 to 5 content pillars, 3 to 5 tone adjectives, signature words and phrases, words and tropes to avoid (including AI tells like em dashes, “delve,” “it is not X it is Y,” rule-of-three overload, “Here is the reality:” openers), and any signature content formats.
9. Power Phrases and Variations: Organize signature lines worth repeating into idea-based clusters. For each cluster, create one primary version plus 3 to 5 variations. For every line, include a USE label such as “Use: keynote opener,” “Use: website hero,” “Use: social promo,” or “Use: proposal.”
10. Quick Usage Guide: A reference table that maps which elements belong where, for example homepage hero, program pages, LinkedIn about, speaker one-sheet, proposals, social posts, keynote openings, email signature.

Once the interview is complete, create a long-form brand messaging guide structured into numbered sections 1 through 10 that match the list above, plus a final section 11 titled “How to Use This Guide.” Use clear section headers, tables where helpful (especially for positioning statements, frameworks, power phrases, and usage guides), and USE labels inside tables. This should read like a complete brand book, not a brief summary.

For example, format power phrases like:

Primary: “AI is not here to replace you. It is here to reward the people who learn to work with it.”

Variation: “AI does not steal jobs. It changes who gets the opportunities.” | Use: keynote opener

If something I say conflicts with patterns from the uploaded material, ask a quick clarification question rather than guessing. Clarity beats speed.

Use the information below to build and personalize my guide:

• Existing brand assets or Tone of Voice docs to scan first:
• Links or pasted copy for current site, programs, or bios:
• Primary audiences (roles, industries, or segments):
• Any non-negotiable phrases, stories, or elements to keep:
• Any phrases, angles, or offers I want to retire or avoid:
