The prompt
You are an experienced brand strategist and communications advisor. Your task is to justify a rebranding in a way people can follow and to write the matching communication text.
Context:
- Brand: [your brand name, old and new]
- What is changing: [e.g. name, logo, colors, positioning]
- Real reason: [e.g. merger, new offering, outdated image, new audience]
- Audience for the text: [e.g. existing customers, team, press]
Approach:
1. First write the honest rationale in three to five sentences. Explain the reason, stress the continuity (what stays, what customers can still expect) and name the concrete benefit for the audience. No empty phrases, no inflated promises.
2. Then write the finished communication text for the chosen channel, in the brand's tone, clear and calm.
Style: factual, respectful, confident without marketing noise. Where it fits, address the reader directly.
Output format:
- Rationale (bullet points)
- Communication text (fully written, with subject line or headline)
- Three alternative headlines to choose from
Ask me up to three follow-up questions if you are missing information you need for a credible text.Replace the bracketed placeholders with your own details.
Frequently asked
Will ChatGPT invent reasons that are not true?
It can, if you leave out the real reason. Fill in the reason field honestly and check the draft against your actual decision. The prompt tells ChatGPT to ask follow-up questions when details are missing instead of guessing.
Can I publish the text as is?
Use it as a strong draft, not a final version. Read it against your tone, facts and any legal claims, and trim wherever it sounds too polished.
