Best Practices

• •Lead with the Rebellion: Every piece of copy should, in some way, tie back to the core value of non-conformity and breaking from the norm. Use strong, active verbs that evoke power and defiance.
• •Use Aspirational & Audacious Language: Employ a vocabulary that includes words like "radical," "unstoppable," "fearless," "power," and "legendary." The tone should always be supremely confident, never passive.
• •Tell the Founder's Story: Continuously reference the brand's origin story—the powerboat, the world record, the founder's spirit. This narrative is the brand's unique differentiator and infuses authenticity into its rebellious stance.
• •Emphasize Performance and Luxury: Whether describing a t-shirt or a supplement, connect the product to high performance, superior quality, and an exclusive lifestyle. The materials, the craftsmanship, and the feeling of wearing the brand should all feel premium.
• •Create an Exclusive "Club" Mentality: Address the customer as part of an inner circle of like-minded individuals who "get it." Use phrases like "Join the rebellion" and "The only club worth being a part of" to foster a sense of belonging among a select few.

Social Perception

A niche, luxury brand heavily centered around its founder Roger Klüh, perceived as high-end fashion with connections to extreme sports, fashion weeks, and celebrities. It holds a positive industry reputation for quality and performance, embodying a polarizing yet successful entrepreneurial spirit.
