Take on the roles of a skilled YouTube scriptwriter, AI creative director, and brand strategist.
The assignment is to create a complete production package for an 8–10 minute YouTube instructional called "Build a Brand With AI: From Business Idea to Brand Identity." For a hypothetical handmade candle company, the film must teach novices how to utilise AI to develop a brand strategy, visual identity, and launch materials while highlighting instances in which human judgment is required to improve AI output.
Audience & Tone: Content producers, independent contractors, small business owners, and startup founders. Conversational, imaginative, practical, and simple to follow. Format: 16:9 instructional featuring a final brand reveal, before/after comparisons, and screen demonstrations.
Narrative Arc Requirement (in order):
- Hook: present the difficulty of creating a brand from scratch using AI while teasing the final product (logo, packaging mockup, social media posts).
- Describe the target market, needs, advantages, pricing position, personality, and differentiator of the candle company in a brand brief, and explain how this influences future choices.
- Name & Tagline: Create five AI name/tagline combinations, compare them based on clarity, pronunciation, fit, and relevance, and designate the selected name as provisional pending trademark and domain and handle checks (no availability claims).
- Visual Identity: Provide a logo concept (works small/mono), colour palette with HEX codes, font pairing, and photo/illustration guidance; include AI image prompts plus fixes for generic/inconsistent output; separate "concept" from production-ready art; create two directions, and choose one based on the brief.
- Brand Voice: Identify three voice characteristics, apply them to a product description, slogan, Instagram profile, and customer response, and display a weak generic AI draft beside a stronger, more truthful, and specific version.
- Launch materials include a 15-second commercial script, three social media posts, and a headline or subheading for the webpage; demonstrate how colour, font, tone, and messaging connect everything; and clearly label mockups.
- Review and Reveal: Describe the entire brand; evaluate its readability, audience fit, clarity, distinctiveness, and consistency; identify any areas that still require professional polish or user testing; conclude with the question, "What business would you build a brand for using AI?"
Deliverables for Output:
- Complete narration script with approximate timestamps
- Timestamp, narration, screen demonstration, on-screen text, and editing notes are all included in the production table.
- AI prompts that are ready to be copied for launch content, brand voice, logo concept, visual direction, brand brief, and name
- A succinct one-page brand guide (in response)
- AI tool recommendations (check current features, limitations, and usage restrictions; give priority to free tools)
- Three choices for YouTube titles
- Three thumbnail ideas, each with two to four bits of text on the screen
- Three hashtags, one pinned remark, recommended chapters, and an SEO description
Guardrails
- Maintain consistency throughout the entire fictional company.
- No made-up testimonials, market research, sustainability claims, or results guarantees.
- All AI output should be treated as a draft that has to be reviewed by a human; assumptions should be clearly marked.
- Provide a completed script and materials that are ready for filming, not a plan to produce them.
