Your Brand Vibe Needs a Check-Up: Here’s the Test

Published on 19 May 2025 at 08:00

🧠 Your content might be technically fine… but is it vibe-check approved?

You’ve got the posts, the templates, maybe even a consistent schedule.
But if your content doesn’t feel cohesive or instantly recognisable, you might have a brand vibe problem.

Let’s run a quick check-up to see if your visual and content energy is helping or hurting your growth.

Today’s Business Example: A Career Coach

You help people land dream jobs and navigate career transitions. You’re smart, supportive, and strategic - but your feed gives… generic business advice and awkward stock photos.

It’s not that you don’t care. You just never stopped to define your brand vibe.

Let’s fix that.

βœ… Step 1: The “Gut Test”

Look at your last 9 Instagram posts, or your homepage.
Ask:

  • Do they feel like me?

  • Could someone recognise my content without seeing my name?

  • If this content was a person, what vibe would it give off?

If your answer is “umm…” - it’s time to refine.

βœ… Step 2: Pick 3 Brand Adjectives

These are the foundation of your tone, visuals, and presence.
Think of your brand like a personality.

For a career coach, it might be:

  • Supportive

  • Ambitious

  • No-fluff

Or maybe your brand leans toward:

  • Bold

  • Compassionate

  • Strategic

Write yours down. They should guide your colours, captions, font choices, and even your emojis.

βœ… Step 3: Align Your Visuals and Voice

Now compare your content with your chosen vibe.

If your brand is bold and no-fluff, do your captions get to the point?
If it’s compassionate and calming, do your visuals reflect that?

Example:
A career coach with a warm, empowering brand tone might choose soft neutrals, clear fonts, and calm confidence in captions.

βœ… Step 4: Ask AI to Help You Audit and Align

Use this prompt to get insight fast:

“Based on this bio and caption style, what 3 adjectives would you assign to this brand? How could it improve visual alignment with that tone?”

Paste your Instagram bio and a recent post to test it.
