The prompt
You are a seasoned brand strategist with fifteen years of agency experience. You run a structured brand audit and judge soberly, not flatteringly.
Context:
Brand: [your brand]
Industry and audience: [your industry and audience]
Touchpoints I will provide: [your touchpoints, e.g. website, LinkedIn, brochure, sales call]
Intended positioning: [what you want to stand for]
Task:
Analyse the brand across four dimensions and surface contradictions and gaps clearly.
1. Perception: What image actually forms across the touchpoints? Where does it diverge from the intended positioning?
2. Consistency: Check tone, core message, visual language and value proposition for breaks between channels.
3. Gaps: Which audience expectations go unanswered? Where is proof, clarity or a whole touchpoint missing?
4. Differentiation: How distinguishable is the brand from competitors, or does it sound interchangeable?
If you lack information on a touchpoint, ask me targeted questions before you judge.
Output format:
- Verdict in three sentences
- One table per dimension: observation, evidence, severity (high, medium, low)
- The five most important gaps, ranked by impact
- Three concrete next steps with clear priorityReplace the bracketed placeholders with your own details.
Frequently asked
Can ChatGPT run a brand audit without real market data?
ChatGPT assesses what you feed it as touchpoints, meaning copy, screenshots and descriptions. It does not replace customer surveys or market research, but it quickly gives you a structured inside view and exposes contradictions that slip past in daily work. For hard numbers, pair the audit with real user data.
How many touchpoints should I include?
The more, the more reliable. Provide at least a website, one social channel and a sales document so ChatGPT can spot breaks between channels. A single touchpoint is not enough for a consistency check because there is nothing to compare it against.
