๐Ÿ“š Step-by-Step Study Material


STEP 1: Understand the Problem Brand Kit Solves

The Core Problem:

Without Brand Kit, staying on-brand with AI tools requires manually re-describing your visual identity in every single prompt

This creates three pain points:

ProblemImpact
Repetitive promptingWastes time
Inconsistent descriptions across teammatesBreaks visual consistency
No single source of truthResults vary across projects

โœ… Key Takeaway: Brand Kit eliminates manual re-description by storing your identity once and applying it everywhere


STEP 2: Learn What Brand Kit Contains

Brand Kit holds five core asset types:

Brand Kit
โ”œโ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŽจ Colors       โ†’ Your brand palette
โ”œโ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ค Fonts        โ†’ Your typography
โ”œโ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ Logos        โ†’ With usage rules attached
โ”œโ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ท Reference Images โ†’ Photography style, mood, composition
โ””โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“‹ Rules        โ†’ What your brand does AND never does

Why Rules Matter Specifically:

Colors and fonts alone cannot capture how your identity is applied Rules fill that gap โ€” they encode behavior, not just appearance

Example Rule Types:

  • โœ… "Always use natural lighting in photography"
  • โŒ "Never use dark backgrounds with the logo"

STEP 3: Understand How to Apply Brand Kit

The Trigger: Type @ in any prompt field

Where it works:

@ Brand Kit works across โ†’  Image & Video
                            Flows (pipelines)
                            ElevenCreative Agent

How it functions:

  1. You type @ in a prompt
  2. Select your Brand Kit
  3. Your assets + rules automatically shape the generation
  4. The same kit produces consistent results across all surfaces

โœ… Key Takeaway: One kit, one tag, consistent output everywhere


STEP 4: Understand Team & Multi-Brand Use Cases

For Teams:

Workspace
โ””โ”€โ”€ Brand Kit (shared)
    โ”œโ”€โ”€ Teammate A generates โ†’ on-brand โœ…
    โ”œโ”€โ”€ Teammate B generates โ†’ on-brand โœ…
    โ””โ”€โ”€ Teammate C generates โ†’ on-brand โœ…

Everyone draws from the same guidelines automatically

For Agencies / Multi-Brand Teams:

Workspace
โ”œโ”€โ”€ Brand Kit: Client A
โ”œโ”€โ”€ Brand Kit: Client B
โ””โ”€โ”€ Brand Kit: Client C
    โ†’ Switch between them as needed

โœ… Key Takeaway: Brand Kit scales consistency across people and brands


STEP 5: Know What's Coming Next

Brand Kit currently covers visual identity, but ElevenLabs is expanding to:

  • ๐Ÿ”Š Brand Voice โ€” how your brand sounds in audio
  • ๐ŸŽต Brand Sound โ€” sonic identity

This signals Brand Kit is evolving from a visual tool into a complete brand identity system
