Branding—it’s more than just a logo or tagline.
It’s essentially the most important thing you can do for your marketing efforts – well, apart from bringing in clients.
The branding of your product is its essence and identity.
Without it, you can’t really stand out from your competitors.
But creating a cohesive brand?
That’s the challenge.
After all, how do you capture your product’s personality and your vision in just one package?
That’s why today, with a custom ChatGPT prompt, we’ll walk you through how to build a branding kit with ChatGPT!
What are the Elements of a Branding Kit?
To make a brand stick, you’re going to need more than just flashy visuals and aesthetics. Below are some of the most essential elements of a branding kit that will be considered as the foundation of your product’s identity:
1. Brand Mission and Vision
Your brand’s mission is its purpose, and the vision includes the goals and direction where you’re headed along with the future you’re working to create. These two are necessary in giving your brand direction and meaning.
2. Brand Values and Personality
What does your brand stand for?
These values will shape and guide the decisions you make in line with your brand. Whether it be choosing who to work with or conducting activities for corporate social responsibility, whatever choice you make will be guided by your brand’s values.
3. Visual Identity
This is immediately what people think of when you say “branding”.
Your logo, color palette, fonts, and imagery—this is where your brand comes to life visually.
With the visual identity of your brand also comes the first impression that helps people recognize you. Hence, it is important to ensure that your visual identity is consistent within your branding kit because it not only builds recognition, but also trust.
4. Brand Messaging
The brand messaging is also known as the voice of your brand. This is how you tell stories and communicate all the other elements and aspects. When done right, it’s impactful and makes your brand unforgettable.

Even with just a few details, ChatGPT was able to generate a comprehensive brand kit for us.
One of our favorite parts about this strategy is how it goes into the details of the visual identity, making it easier for you with a fixed color palette and even suggestions for the logo (which you can use ChatGPT to generate!)
Of course, we don’t stop there.
Our prompt was also built to create a content strategy for you.
With a content strategy, you can put your branding into action and market your product.
Lastly, actionable steps are in place to make sure that your brand kit and content strategy isn’t for nothing.
Without these actionable steps, whatever output ChatGPT gives you would not be useful. At the same time, these actionable steps will show you how to efficiently apply your new content strategy and branding kit.
Also note that we’ve opted out of including the optional section this time around. But if you do include it, just know that you will get more accurate results wherein ChatGPT can match the tone and style you are aiming for.
