Brand Narrative Playbook Skill

When to Use

• Defining or refreshing core messaging pillars.

• Translating positioning into talk tracks for different personas/channels.

• Auditing campaigns for narrative consistency.

Framework

• Audience Grid – ICP, persona, stage, key pain/aspiration.

• Narrative Arc – context, tension, resolution, proof, call-to-action.

• Pillar Mapping – tie each story beat to brand pillars and supporting evidence.

• Proof Library – customers, metrics, analyst quotes, product demos.

• Adaptation Guide – tone, length, channel tweaks, localization notes.

Templates

• Narrative Framework: See references/narrative_framework.md for the arc and audience grid.

• Messaging hierarchy doc with prompts.

• Storyboard slides for exec, sales, product, and customer marketing audiences.

• QA checklist ensuring each asset hits pillar + proof requirements.

Tips

• Keep a “retire/refresh” log for outdated proof.

• Include “watch-outs” for overused phrases or compliance issues.

• Pair with define-brand-platform to auto-populate pillar content.
