Best Practices

• •Develop a Style Guide: Clearly document the brand's voice, tone words (e.g., refined, confident, traditional, articulate), preferred vocabulary (and words to avoid), and grammatical preferences. This ensures anyone writing for the brand uses a consistent voice.
• •Understand Your Audience Deeply: Write for the discerning modern gentleman Ruckus & Co. targets. Use language and references that resonate with his values (quality, tradition, understated style) and aspirations.
• •Emphasize Quality and Craftsmanship: Consistently weave in language that speaks to the superior nature of the products, the care in their formulation or selection, and the benefits of using premium grooming tools.
• •Balance Tradition with Modernity: While the aesthetic is vintage, the language should remain accessible and relevant to today’s man. Avoid overly archaic terms unless used very intentionally for specific effect. The "ruckus" can be the modern, confident edge to the tradition.
• •Maintain Visual and Textual Harmony: Ensure the copy on the website, social media, and all marketing materials perfectly complements the brand's visual identity. The sophisticated, masculine, and slightly vintage feel of the visuals should be mirrored in the words used.
