Creating a comprehensive brand style guide is crucial to ensure consistency in messaging and design across all marketing materials.

In this tutorial, we will walk through the process of generating a brand style guide using ChatGPT. We will base our guide on a fictional company called Zenith Tea Co., an artisanal tea brand that blends tradition with modernity and sustainability practices.

First, let’s ask ChatGPT to provide a template for a brand style guide for marketing materials.
