1.2 Feeding Claude Your Brand Voice

Before starting any campaign work, invest 5 minutes in a brand voice briefing. This transforms generic copy into on-brand content that sounds like you.

Prompt: Brand Voiice Calibration

Here are 5 examples of our best-performing marketing copy: [PASTE EXAMPLES]  Analyse the writing style across these examples and produce a 'Brand Voice Profile' covering: - Tone descriptors (3-5 adjectives) - Sentence length and rhythm preferences - Vocabulary patterns (formal/casual, jargon level) - Emotional triggers used - Things we never say or do  Then use this profile to rewrite this draft: [PASTE DRAFT] ...so it fully matches our brand voice.

1.3 Working Iteratively

Claude delivers the best results as a collaborative partner. Here is the recommended workflow for any marketing task:

 

1.    Brief Claude fully — paste your brand guide, campaign brief, or audience persona

2.    Generate a first output — ask for a complete draft or multiple variations

3.    Refine with follow-ups — 'Make version 2 more urgent', 'Add social proof to the headline'

4.    Request critique — 'What is weak about this copy? How would you improve it?'

5.    Produce final variants — ask for A/B test versions, platform adaptations, or different audience angles
