Teach AI your brand voice

Module 1: What AI already does in marketing

Course outline

Quick check

Guess first, no penalty. What gets an AI tool closest to your brand's voice?

Brand voice is how your brand sounds: the words it picks, how long its sentences are, and what it never says. Left alone, AI writes in a smooth, average voice. Average copy could come from any brand, so nobody remembers it.

The fix is a voice card: a few lines you paste into every prompt (the message you type into the tool).

A voice card in action

Before and after

Switch between the draft with no voice card and the draft with one. Highlights show what changed.

No voice card

Ready to take your ride to the next level? Our amazing spring service has everything your bike needs to perform at its best this season!

Here's the voice card behind the second draft:

Voice: plain, warm, a little dry. Short sentences.
Do: say what we actually do to the bike. Use numbers we gave you.
Don't: use "amazing", "next level" or exclamation marks.
Two past emails we liked: [paste].

Fill the gaps

Fill the gaps so the card shows the voice, not just names it.
