Brand Storytelling

品牌叙事（Brand Storytelling）

Scope

适用范围

Covers

Crafting a clear brand narrative (what you stand for + why people should care)
Writing a founder/origin story anchored on a single “five-second moment” of realization or transformation
Turning narrative into usable scripts (website, pitch, social, team)
Planning “build in public” storytelling for founders/teams (cadence + guardrails)
Preparing pithy answers and a Q&A bank for pitches and interviews

When to use

“Write or refresh our brand story / founder story / origin story.”
“We need a narrative for our website, pitch deck, and social posts.”
“Help us find the ‘moment’ in our origin story and make it memorable.”
“Create a build-in-public storytelling plan for the founder/team.”
“Prep our pithy story + Q&A for fundraising / press / a keynote.”

When NOT to use

You need to decide your ICP/positioning first (use a positioning/messaging workflow first).
You need a full visual identity system (logo, typography, brand book, UI kit).
You want fictionalized or unverifiable claims (this skill will not fabricate facts).
You’re making regulated/high-risk claims (medical/legal/financial) without expert review.

涵盖内容

打造清晰的brand narrative（明确品牌核心主张及受众关注的价值点）
撰写以单一“five-second moment”为核心的创始人/起源故事，该瞬间为顿悟或转变的关键节点
将叙事转化为可直接使用的脚本（适用于官网、融资推介、社交媒体、内部团队等场景）
为创始人/团队制定“build-in-public”叙事计划（包含发布节奏与规范）
准备简洁有力的应答内容及问答库，用于融资推介与媒体采访

“为创始人/团队制定build-in-public叙事计划。”
“为融资、媒体采访或主题演讲准备简洁有力的故事及问答内容。”

不适用场景

尚未确定目标客户群体（ICP）/品牌定位（需先使用定位/信息传递工作流）。

Inputs

输入要求

Minimum required

Company/product: what it is + who it’s for (1–3 sentences)
Primary audience + setting: customers, investors, partners, press (pick one primary)
Primary channel(s): website, deck/pitch, talk, social (pick 1–2)
Desired perception: 3–5 adjectives (e.g., “trustworthy, modern, scrappy”)
Story raw material: key events, constraints, “before/after”, proof points (even rough bullets)
Constraints: taboo words, compliance/claims rules, tone/voice

Missing-info strategy

Ask up to 5 questions from references/INTAKE.md (3–5 at a time).
If details are missing, proceed with explicit assumptions and label unknowns/TBDs.
Never invent facts; offer placeholders and a short “evidence to collect” list.

最低必要输入

公司/产品：业务内容及目标受众（1-3句话）
核心受众与场景：客户、投资者、合作伙伴、媒体（选择一个核心受众）
核心渠道：官网、融资演示文稿、演讲、社交媒体（选择1-2个）
期望品牌感知：3-5个形容词（例如：“值得信赖、现代感强、务实进取”）
故事原始素材：关键事件、限制条件、“前后对比”、实证依据（即使是粗略的要点也可）
约束条件：禁用词汇、合规声明规则、语气/语调

信息缺失处理策略

从references/INTAKE.md中最多提出5个问题（每次3-5个）。
若信息缺失，基于明确假设推进，并标注未知项/待确定内容（TBDs）。
绝不编造事实；提供占位符及简短的“需收集证据清单”。

Workflow (8 steps)

工作流（8个步骤）

1) Intake + success definition

1) 信息收集+成功标准定义

Inputs: User context + references/INTAKE.md.
Actions: Identify the primary audience, channel(s), and what must change (belief, trust, recall, conversion). Capture constraints and known proof.
Outputs: Context snapshot + assumptions/TBDs list.
Checks: You can answer in one sentence: “After hearing/reading this story, the audience will _____.”

输入: 用户提供的背景信息 + references/INTAKE.md。
行动: 确定核心受众、渠道，以及需要达成的改变（如认知、信任度、记忆点、转化率）。记录约束条件与已知实证依据。
输出: 背景快照 + 假设/待确定内容清单。
校验: 可用一句话总结：“受众听完/读完这个故事后，会_____。”

2) Define the brand perception you’re shaping

2) 定义目标品牌感知

Inputs: Desired perception; product basics; any positioning notes.
Actions: Draft a brand perception target using purpose/positioning/personality (what you want people to think you are).
Outputs: Brand perception target (v1).
Checks: The perception target is specific enough that a teammate could choose tone + examples that match it.

输入: 期望的品牌感知、产品基本信息、任何定位相关说明。
行动: 基于使命/定位/人格，起草目标品牌感知（即期望受众对品牌的认知）。
输出: 目标品牌感知（第一版）。
校验: 目标感知需足够具体，确保团队成员能据此匹配对应的语调和案例。

3) Pick the story type and the “five-second moment”

3) 选择故事类型与“five-second moment”

Inputs: Founder/customer/product raw material.
Actions: Choose the story type (brand/founder/origin/customer). Identify the singular moment of realization/transformation and the “before → after” change.
Outputs: Story brief with five-second moment and stakes.
Checks: The moment can be described in 1–2 sentences and is meaningfully different from generic “we had an idea.”

输入: 创始人/客户/产品的原始素材。
行动: 选择故事类型（品牌/创始人/起源/客户）。识别顿悟或转变的单一核心瞬间，以及“转变前→转变后”的变化。
输出: 包含five-second moment与核心冲突的故事概要。
校验: 核心瞬间可用1-2句话描述，且与常见的“我们有了一个想法”这类通用表述有明显区别。

4) Outline the narrative arc (context → tension → moment → new belief)

4) 搭建叙事框架（背景→冲突→核心瞬间→新认知）

Inputs: Story brief.
Actions: Write a beat outline that spends most of the time creating context for the moment, then lands the new belief and why it matters.
Outputs: Narrative beat map (beats + claims + proof).
Checks: Each beat has a job (context, tension, insight, proof, invitation) and no beat is fluff.

输入: 故事概要。
行动: 撰写叙事节奏大纲，重点为核心瞬间铺垫背景，然后传递新认知及其价值。
输出: 叙事节奏图（包含节点+主张+实证）。
校验: 每个节点都有明确作用（背景铺垫、冲突制造、洞察传递、实证支撑、行动号召），无冗余内容。

5) Draft scripts for the target channels

5) 为目标渠道撰写脚本

Inputs: Beat map; channel constraints.
Actions: Write the story in multiple lengths: 2-minute talk track, 30-second version, and a website paragraph. Tailor language to the audience and include an explicit CTA.
Outputs: Story scripts (v1).
Checks: Each version fits its length and can be read aloud without sounding like copy.

输入: 叙事节奏图、渠道约束条件。
行动: 撰写不同时长的故事版本：2分钟演讲脚本、30秒精简版、官网段落版。根据受众调整语言风格，并加入明确的行动号召（CTA）。
输出: 故事脚本（第一版）。
校验: 每个版本符合时长要求，朗读时不会显得生硬。

6) Add proof + identity hooks (make it believable and sticky)

6) 补充实证+身份关联钩子（提升可信度与记忆点）

Inputs: Proof points (metrics, quotes, examples) + audience motivations.
Actions: Attach proof to key claims. For consumer: add identity-based associations (“this is who you become”) without manipulation or false promises.
Outputs: Proof bank + identity hook lines + “say/do” alignment notes.
Checks: No major claim is unsupported; unknown proof is labeled “to validate.”

输入: 实证依据（数据、引用、案例）+ 受众动机。
行动: 为核心主张匹配实证依据。针对消费者品牌：加入基于身份的关联内容（如“使用后你将成为这类人”），但不得包含诱导或虚假承诺。
输出: 实证库 + 身份关联钩子内容 + “表述/行动”对齐说明。
校验: 所有核心主张均有支撑；未验证的实证需标注“待验证”。

7) Plan distribution and “build in public”

7) 制定传播与build-in-public计划

Inputs: Channels, team capacity, constraints.
Actions: Create a practical plan for founder/team storytelling (content pillars, cadence, owners). Include guardrails (no confidential info; be honest about uncertainty).

Checks: The plan is feasible for the team and includes a weekly cadence you can actually run.

输入: 渠道、团队能力、约束条件。

8) Rehearse for pithy delivery + run the quality gate

Outputs: Final Brand Storytelling Pack.
Checks: A teammate can repeat the core story after one read, and the story is truthful and consistent with the brand perception target.

输入: 脚本、问答需求。
行动: 生成高频问题的1句话简洁应答。使用references/CHECKLISTS.md检查，并通过references/RUBRIC.md评分。补充风险/待解决问题/下一步行动。
