## Step 2: Company Information

Tell us about your business so our AI agents can research your industry and create relevant campaigns.

| Field             | Description                                 | Required |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------- | -------- |
| **Company Name**  | Your business name                          | Yes      |
| **Website**       | Your company website URL                    | Yes      |
| **Industry**      | Select from predefined categories           | Yes      |
| **Company Size**  | Number of employees                         | No       |
| **Description**   | Brief description of what your company does | Yes      |

<Tip>
  The **Description** field is especially important — this is what our Orchestrator agent uses as a starting point to research your market. Be specific about what you sell and to whom.

## Step 3: Brand DNA

Define your brand identity so AI-generated content matches your voice and style.

### Brand Voice

Choose your brand's tone from the available options:

* **Professional** — Corporate, formal, authoritative
* **Friendly** — Warm, approachable, conversational
* **Bold** — Direct, confident, provocative
* **Technical** — Precise, detail-oriented, expert
* **Creative** — Playful, innovative, unconventional

You can also provide free-text guidelines for additional nuance (e.g., "We never use exclamation marks" or "Always mention sustainability").

### Visual Identity

| Field               | Description                         |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| **Logo**            | Upload your company logo (SVG, PNG) |
| **Primary Color**   | Your main brand color               |
| **Secondary Color** | Your accent or complementary color  |
