Storytelling template
Seasonal Brand Story
Connect your brand to a season through genuine storytelling, not sales. This is the exact template that ships in Nimply’s AI Content Studio — the full prompt is below, with every fill-in variable highlighted.
The full prompt
Write a seasonal brand story for [platform] connecting [brand_name] to [season_or_holiday]. Do not just slap a holiday theme on a sales post. Instead: tell a story about what this season means to the team, share a specific seasonal tradition at the company, connect the season's themes (renewal, gratitude, celebration, reflection) to your brand's journey, include a customer or community element, and end with a seasonal wish that feels genuine. Word count: [word_count]. Tone: [tone]. Include imagery suggestions that go beyond stock holiday photos.
Copy it anywhere, or open it in Nimply where each highlighted variable becomes a form field and the output lands as a draft in your planner.

Craft notes
Getting the most from storytelling templates
- Start inside the moment ("The email arrived at 6:04am"), never at the chronological beginning ("I founded the company in 2019").
- Stakes make stories: what would have been lost? The templates ask explicitly.
- The failure-story format builds more trust than any win — but only when the lesson cost you something real.
- End on the change, not the moral. Readers extract lessons better than captions state them.
