Brand Tone

Minimalist & Confident, Understated Cool, Quality-Focused (Implicit), Aspirational but Accessible

Brand Values

• •Individuality/Self-Expression
• •Quality & Craftsmanship (Implied)
• •Simplicity & Minimalism
• •Quiet Confidence

Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Create a document that explicitly defines the brand's tone (e.g., confident, minimalist, direct, subtly witty), key messaging points, words to use, and words to avoid. This ensures anyone writing for the brand is aligned.
• •Focus on "Show, Don't Just Tell": Instead of saying "we sell high-quality clothes," describe the materials, the fit, the design details that *demonstrate* the quality. The name "ABOVE AVERAGE" already makes a claim; the copy should subtly support it with evidence.
• •Use Strong Verbs and Concise Language: Reflect the minimalist aesthetic in the writing. Avoid jargon, fluff, or overly complex sentences. Get to the point with confidence.
• •Speak to the Aspiration, Deliver on the Tangible: The name "ABOVE AVERAGE" is aspirational. The copy should connect with this desire for something better, while product descriptions must clearly communicate the tangible benefits and features (e.g., "100% organic cotton for superior softness," "Reinforced seams for lasting wear").
• •Consistency Across All Channels: Ensure the tone is the same whether it's website copy, product descriptions, email newsletters, or any future social media. Regular audits of content can help maintain this consistency.

Social Perception

For those aware of the brand (likely through direct website traffic): The perception is likely shaped directly by the website experience. They might perceive it as a niche brand offering stylish, minimalist clothing for individuals who appreciate understated quality and a name that suggests a higher standard.
