How to Build a Brand Voice Using AI

The recipe for creating great content for social media is a mixture of captivating visuals, compelling copy, and creative storytelling. But your brand voice is the secret ingredient that makes them all work harmoniously.

Developing a brand voice might sound complicated, but it's as simple as its name. Your brand voice is quite literally the voice of your brand online, defined by how you communicate to, and as a result, make connections with, your audience. Your brand voice humanizes your brand by making it feel authentic and engaging while making your content unique amidst the millions of conversations constantly happening online.

Among the many other things AI can do, it can also be a great tool for building your brand voice and creating great social media content with consistent messaging. In this blog post, we will break down how to do both using tools like ChatGPT and Planoly's AI-powered Auto-Magic Captions.

How to Build a Brand Voice Using AI 

Your brand voice comprises three key factors: personality, perspective, and tone.

Your brand personality defines the way your brand relates to and engages with your audience. Ask yourself, if your brand was a person, what would they be like? What role would your brand play in the lives of your audience? Would your brand be the funny and relatable bestie, the wise and insightful teacher, or someone else?

‍Your brand perspective defines your brand beliefs, points of view and the unique value you provide to your audience. Ask yourself, how do you look at things differently than other brands in your industry, and how do you take a unique approach to doing things?

‍Your brand tone defines the technicalities of how you communicate. Ask yourself, is your brand more formal or casual? Do you use traditional grammar? What emotion do you want to convey?

If you want to build your brand voice using the help of AI, you need to provide it with this information to learn your brand. AI is a processor of information, so it needs lots of details and examples to analyze and pull from to generate accurate and quality responses.

Before using AI to create content, feed it information, such as adjectives that describe your brand personality, perspective, and tone. Also, provide examples or samples of existing content that aligns with your brand voice. You can also provide AI examples of famous public figures or fictional characters that are good examples of your brand's voice.
