Your Marketing AI Context Gap Analysis

Now that you've identified your scores, let's explore what your specific context gaps mean and how to address them:

Brand Context Gaps

Common Signs:

  • AI creates content that "sounds like AI" rather than your brand
  • Inconsistent tone across different pieces
  • Generic phrasing that could apply to any company
  • Missing your unique voice markers and terminology

Quick Fix: Create a brand voice cheat sheet with "We say/We don't say" examples and specific phrases that capture your unique voice. Include 5-10 sample paragraphs demonstrating your tone in different situations.

Product Context Gaps

Common Signs:

  • AI mixes features between different product lines
  • Inaccurate descriptions of capabilities or benefits
  • Failing to distinguish between product tiers
  • Using outdated messaging for updated products

Quick Fix: Develop a product matrix that clearly outlines each offering with its key features, benefits, target audience, and positioning statement. Include comparative information showing how products relate to each other.

Audience Context Gaps

Common Signs:

  • AI uses overly technical language with non-technical audiences
  • Generic messaging that doesn't address specific pain points
  • Inappropriate relationship tone for different segments
  • Mixing messaging intended for different buyer personas

Quick Fix: Create simplified persona cards for each major audience segment, including job titles, pain points, goals, knowledge level, and preferred communication style. Include sample messaging for each.

Campaign Context Gaps

Common Signs:

  • AI creates content disconnected from current campaigns
  • Inconsistent messaging across campaign materials
  • Inability to maintain strategic themes across content
  • Confusion between different initiatives

Quick Fix: Develop a campaign brief template that outlines key messages, themes, objectives, and timeline for each initiative. Maintain a calendar showing when campaigns overlap and how they relate.

Channel Context Gaps

Common Signs:

  • AI creates LinkedIn posts that read like tweets
  • Email content that doesn't consider inbox preview constraints
  • Blog content without proper structure for SEO
  • Format issues that don't match platform requirements

Quick Fix: Create channel specification sheets outlining format requirements, character limits, best practices, and content types for each platform. Include examples of successful content for each channel.
