Transform brand positioning into 3-5 repeatable content categories (pillars). Each pillar is a lens through which the brand talks about the world. The topic taxonomy underneath ensures the agent never runs out of specific, on-brand ideas.
Without pillars, content is random. With pillars, every post has a job: educate, persuade, prove, humanize, or convert. Pillars make the content calendar fillable without creativity blocks, and they make the brand's feed feel cohesive instead of scattershot.
positioning-statement skill)brand-voice-system skill)| Pillar Type | Purpose | Example Topics | Best Formats |
|---|---|---|---|
| Education / How-to | Teach something valuable | Frameworks, step-by-step guides, mistakes to avoid | Threads, carousels, how-to videos |
| Point of View / Contrarian | Share a differentiated opinion | Hot takes, industry myths, "unpopular opinion" | Short posts, quote tweets, opinion threads |
| Proof / Social Proof | Show the thing works | Case studies, results, revenue updates, customer stories | Metric-led posts, testimonial graphics |
| Behind the Scenes / Build-in-Public | Humanize the brand | Team culture, process, failures, lessons learned, "how it's going" | Photo + caption, process videos, raw updates |
| CTA / Conversion | Drive action | Product launches, demo requests, waitlists, newsletter signups | Launch posts, demo clips, link posts |
Start with the positioning statement. For each potential pillar, ask: "Does content in this pillar reinforce the brand's core message?" If the answer is "not really," that pillar doesn't belong.
Define 3-5 pillars. Each pillar gets:
Map each pillar to the right formats:
Map each pillar to the right platforms:
Define the pillar mix (recommended starting point, adjust per data):
Build a 15-topic bank per pillar. Topics should be specific, not generic. Bad: "SaaS tips." Good: "Why charging monthly killed our growth (and what we switched to)."

## Pillar Health Check (Review Monthly)
- Which pillar drives the most engagement?
- Which pillar drives the most conversions?
- Which pillar is underrepresented or overperforming?
- Is any pillar below average ER for 3+ weeks? Diagnose.
The skill is complete when:
Map the last 2 weeks of posts to pillars. If more than 20% don't fit any pillar, the taxonomy is wrong. If one pillar exceeds 50% of output, rebalance. Can you look at the topic bank and immediately write a post from any topic? If a topic makes you think "I have nothing to say about this," it's not specific enough.
Input: SaaS analytics tool positioning = "Product analytics for B2B founders who hate dashboards."
