Best Practices

• •Anchor in Your "Why": Always circle back to the core mission: spreading civic knowledge and sparking conversation. Every piece of copy should, in some way, serve this purpose.
• •Speak with Conviction: Use strong, declarative sentences. Be bold and unapologetic in your language, reflecting the brand's value of making statements that matter.
• •Educate & Inform: Subtly weave in context or the meaning behind the designs. Don't just sell a hoodie; sell the idea it represents.
• •Use Keywords of Empowerment: Incorporate words like "empower," "knowledge," "statement," "resilience," "legacy," "clarity," and "voice" consistently.
• •Maintain Authenticity: Let the founder's voice and passion (as a Gen X creative, artist, and technologist frustrated with the climate) shine through. Avoid generic marketing speak; keep it real and relatable to the target audience.

Social Perception

Emerging Brand, Niche Appeal, Positive (where visible), Founder-Driven
