Brand Tone

Edgy, Confident, Playful, Youthful, Stylish, Quality-Conscious, Direct, Unapologetic, Community-Oriented (Subtly)

Brand Values

• •Individuality & Self-Expression
• •Quality & Craftsmanship
• •Boldness & Authenticity
• •Exclusivity (to an extent)
• •Trend Awareness with a Twist

Best Practices

• •Develop a "Voice Bible": Create an internal document that clearly defines the brand's tone attributes (e.g., edgy, playful, confident), provides examples of "say this, not that," and lists approved/disapproved terminology or slang. This ensures everyone creating content is on the same page.
• •Know Your Audience, Speak Their Language (Authentically): Understand the slang, humor, and communication style of your target demographic (youthful, streetwear-savvy individuals), but avoid forced or outdated language. Authenticity is key. Use platforms like TikTok to observe current linguistic trends.
• •Prioritize Visual-Verbal Harmony: Ensure the tone of the copy perfectly complements the style of the visuals. Edgy photos should have equally edgy captions. Playful visuals can have more lighthearted text. Inconsistency here can confuse the audience.
• •Embrace Storytelling (Even in Short Form): Use micro-stories or evocative descriptions that resonate with the brand's values of individuality and boldness. For example, instead of "Red hoodie," try "Hoodie in a shade of rebellion."
• •Be Confident and Decisive, Avoid Tentative Language: The brand's tone is confident and unapologetic. Copy should reflect this by using strong verbs, direct statements, and avoiding wishy-washy phrases. Own the brand's unique stance. For instance, "We think you might like this" could become "This is your next favorite."
