Brand Kits/Walkthrough

Walkthrough · Brand Kits

Set the client up once — and everything you make already knows them.

Everything you know about a client goes in one place — and every tool on the platform reads it before it makes anything. This is the walk from a blank kit to a client the whole system understands.

The whole walk · six stops

From a new account to a client every tool already knows

Every client you take on gets the same six stops. The rest of this page walks them one at a time — what you set up, what the kit does with it, and what changes for your team the moment it's there.

1. Create the kit
one client, one home
2. Teach it the brand
the strategy, drafted for you
3. Fill the library
assets it reads — and rules it keeps
4. Save what you know
specs and facts, never stale
5. Connect the channels
ads · store · email · Google
6. Everything reads it
on-brand, from the first request

First: where is it?

Every walk on this site starts the same way — with the card you click and the page that opens.

Start here · Where you find it

From the dashboard, open Brand Kits and click New Brand Kit

On the dashboard, the card that reads Create a New · Brand Kit takes you to Brand Kits, one card per client. Click New Brand Kit, name the client, and you're in.

You won the account. Now give it a home.

Bellhaven Design + Build — the remodeler whose site you audited — just signed. Before the first campaign, the first email, the first video, everything you know about them needs one place to live. That place is the kit, and it takes an afternoon.

Step 1 · Create the kit

One client, one kit — and everything you can do for them, under one roof

Name it, and the kit exists — the website comes in one step later, when you teach it the brand. Its home page is the whole platform, arranged for this one client: the foundation you teach it, the ad generators, the studios, the boards and briefs your team works in, the channels it publishes to, every pulse and intelligence read, and the audiences you build for them. Everything your team makes for this client is filed here too, and any teammate with access opens the same work. Thirty-seven doors, one client.

Then you teach it who the client is.

Not a form. You hand over what you have — their guide, their site, your notes — and the strategy comes back drafted. You correct it. That's the anchor every generation reads from now on.

Step 2 · Teach it the brand

Drop in what you have, and the strategy drafts itself

Upload the client's brand guide or a brief, point it at their website, add a note or two — and Analyze & Populate writes the Brand Strategy as a full first draft, not a blank form. You read it, correct it, save it. From then on it's the anchor: the context every generation and every Claude session reads to understand who this client is.

Positioning
Design-build for homeowners who want one accountable team from the first sketch to the last cabinet pull — not a designer, a contractor, and a referee.
Who it's for
Austin and Hill Country homeowners planning a kitchen or whole-home remodel, usually six months out, usually comparing three firms.
Voice
Plain and confident. Say “finished kitchens,” never “dream kitchens.” Show the work; don't describe the feeling.
Guardrails
Never promise a timeline that isn't scheduled. Never lead with price. Every photo is a real Bellhaven project.

Nine guides — every one becomes guardrails for the AI
Brand StrategyAvatar PersonasImage GuidelinesCopy GuidelinesAd GuidelinesVideo GuidelinesStatic Ad DeconstructionVideo Ad DeconstructionStore Intelligence

Six you author for the client — strategy, personas, and the image, copy, ad and video rules the AI follows. Two are competitive intelligence: drop in a rival's ad and it's broken down across the persuasion frameworks, saved as context the kit can reuse. And Store Intelligence writes itself the moment a store connects. Every guide loads into every workflow and every Claude session as the rules it works inside.

Then the library — and this is where the kit starts doing things no folder does.

Every file you save gets looked at by an AI that writes down what it sees. That one idea is what the next scene is about.

Step 3 · Fill the library

Every asset gets looked at — and the AI writes down what it sees

Here's the idea. When you save a file to the kit — a photo, a clip, a logo, a track — an AI looks at it the way a person would and writes down what it saw: what's in it, what's written on it, the style, the colors, what's said, and where an ad could safely put text. That note stays on the asset. It's what makes the library searchable by description, and what lets every tool on the platform pick the right file on its own.

Nobody typed any of this. It was written when the file landed, and it stays on the file.
Find it by describing it

Type what you remember — a subject, a color, a headline, a line someone says in a clip — and the right file comes back, with the reason it matched. No file names to remember.

Claude picks the right one itself

Ask for the hero shot, the reveal clip, or the jingle, and it reaches into the library and pulls the right asset — because it can read what each one is.

Text never lands on a face

When an ad or a video gets built from this library, the headline and the logo go where the read said it's clear — never across a person, never over the product.

Your note
one line on any asset about how you'd use it — the field the app calls AI Agentic Context. It counts most.

Then the small things that save the most re-explaining: the colors, and the facts.

Step 4 · Set the colors

The palette, set once — and it travels everywhere the platform makes anything

Add the swatches by hex, RGB or eyedropper, paste a list — or hand over the website and the palette is read from the client's actual pages, never guessed. From then on every generation, canvas, ad, caption and email starts from these colors. No re-pasting the brand blue into five tools.

Brand Colorsread from bellhavenbuild.com
Plaster#F3EDE4
Walnut#5A3E2B
Field green#3E5C43
Ink#1B1B1B
Brass#B8925A

Five real colors off the client's own pages, named and saved. The eyedropper and a pasted hex list do the same job when there's no site to read.

An ad
A design canvas
Video captions
An email

Every surface starts from the same five. And when you ask Claude for “something in the brand colors,” it already knows which five.

Step 5 · Save what you know

The facts every writer needs, saved once — and corrected once

A Brand Topic is a named block of knowledge: a product spec, the client's process, a compliance rule, this month's campaign facts. Write one, save one from research, or let Claude draft a spec for every product on a connected store in one pass. From then on it feeds every generation. Change a fact and it changes everywhere from that moment — no stale copy floating around.

Then plug in where the work goes out.

Do this on the kickoff call, while the client is right there. The first campaign can publish the same week.

Step 6 · Connect the channels

Plug in the client's accounts, and the kit becomes the place work goes out from

Connect the ad accounts, the store, the email platform and the client's Google — each one once, each one to this kit. Existing campaigns pull in analyzed and searchable; new work publishes back out. The same connection that ran the SEO audit keeps feeding the traffic and search reads.

Connect once, the whole team publishes

The owner or an admin connects the account. From then on anyone on the team publishes through it — no per-person logins on the client's platforms, no shared passwords.

Nothing goes live without a human

Ads publish paused. Emails land as drafts. Store changes are appended, never overwritten. Activation is always a person's click.

Kit-scoped, never account-wide

One kit connects to one client's accounts. Nothing crosses between clients — a rule in the architecture, not a setting to remember.

And now — everything reads it.

This is the moment the kit earns its afternoon. From here, every request starts already knowing the client.

Step 7 · Everything reads it

Now every request starts from the kit — and comes out already on brand

This is the payoff. Ask for an ad, a video, an email, a report — in the app or from Claude wherever you use it — and the kit is read first: the strategy, the palette, the topics, the assets and their rules, the live channels. The work comes out knowing the client. Nobody re-explains who Bellhaven is.

“Make three ad concepts for Bellhaven” — that's the whole brief now.

Set it up once. Then watch it get smarter.

Step 8 · The payoff, twice

Set it up once. Run it forever.

The kit pays off on the day the client arrives — and it keeps paying off, because everything your team adds from then on makes the next thing it makes more accurate.

Set it up once

Five moves, in the order this page walked them. An afternoon, usually — and the client's first campaign can go out the same week.

1Create the kit, paste the site
2Drop in the brand guide — the strategy drafts itself
3Upload the photos, footage and logos — the library reads them
4Save the process and the facts as topics
5Connect the ad accounts and email on the kickoff call
As your team adds to it, the system gets smarter

Every asset saved, every winner kept, every board and report makes the kit more accurate — so the next brief starts from more than the last one did.

Good to know
  • Assets saved before the automatic read existed aren't found by describing them until they're saved again. Everything saved now is read on the way in.
  • Finding an asset by description takes a moment, not an instant — the whole kit is read against your words each time.
  • Colors read from a website come from what the site actually ships. A site that draws its pages entirely in the browser may need the eyedropper instead.
  • One kit connects to one client's accounts. Nothing crosses between clients. Ads publish paused; emails land as drafts; a person always makes the last click.
  • With more than one kit on the account, Claude asks which client before it writes anything. That's deliberate — it's the rule that keeps one client's facts out of another's work.
The walk loops — the kit you set up on day one is the one every campaign, every pulse and every report reads from here on. The next walkthroughs start from this hub.
