What Brand DNA contains

Brand DNA sits alongside Brand Avatars and References under Brand Assets. It is a set of editable cards, not two large overview blocks.

  • Brand identity, Logo, Fonts, Colors, Tagline, Brand tone of voice, Brand values, and Brand aesthetic.
  • Business overview, Store context, Shop & domain, Target audience, Instagram, and Facebook Page.
  • Markets & cities, Product categories, Key messages, Visual style, Tone description, and Hero products.

How Brand DNA is generated

  1. 1Open Settings → Connectors and connect Shopify. Status on Brand DNA reads Generated when Shopify connects until that run finishes.
  2. 2Open Brand Assets, then Brand DNA.
  3. 3Wait if the banner shows Collecting storefront signals from Shopify. Generation usually takes 1–3 minutes.
  4. 4Connect Meta so Instagram and Facebook Page cards can populate.
  5. 5When Meta is connected and a profile already exists, owners and admins can choose Refresh from pages to pull connected Page identity into Brand DNA.
  6. 6Review every card before using it for important customer-facing work.

Correct and improve it

Owners and admins can edit Brand DNA directly; members have read-only access. Correct factual errors first, then refine voice, audience, visual rules, and key messages. Choose Save DNA before leaving the page.

Frequently asked questions

Is Brand DNA the same as Brand Manager instructions?

No. Brand DNA stores factual and creative brand context. Soul, under Settings → Account, contains instructions that shape how the Brand Manager behaves and communicates.
