Brand Tone

Sophisticated, Passionate, Innovative

Brand Values

• •Quality & Excellence: Uncompromising commitment to using the finest ingredients and meticulous craftsmanship.
• •Innovation & Creativity: Constantly seeking to create unique and groundbreaking chocolate experiences. This includes developing new recipes, like plant-based options, and functional chocolates.
• •Craftsmanship & Tradition: Honouring the art of chocolate making through traditional techniques combined with modern advancements in their Kent atelier.
• •Ethical Sourcing & Sustainability: Commitment to sourcing cocoa responsibly, supporting farmers, and implementing sustainable practices. This includes working with suppliers who provide training to farmers and using traceable cocoa.
• •Customer Delight & Pleasure: Creating chocolates that offer a memorable and joyful experience.
• •British Heritage: While having a French name, they identify as redefining "modern luxury British chocolates".

Best Practices

• •Embrace Evocative Language: Use rich, sensory words that describe taste, texture, and aroma. Appeal to the imagination and the emotions associated with luxury and indulgence.
• •Highlight Craftsmanship & Origin: Consistently mention the handcrafted nature of the products, the Kent atelier, and the quality of sourced ingredients (e.g., "Fino de Aroma beans"). This reinforces authenticity and quality.
• •Weave in the Innovation Story: Remind the audience of Artisan du Chocolat's pioneering spirit. Whether it's mentioning the creation of salted caramels or alluding to new, exciting flavour developments.
• •Maintain Sophistication, Avoid Alienation: While the tone is luxurious, ensure it remains inviting. Focus on the joy and pleasure of the chocolate. Avoid overly technical jargon unless explaining a unique process in an accessible way.
• •Integrate Values Naturally: Subtly infuse messages about ethical sourcing, sustainability, and quality into product descriptions and brand storytelling rather than making them feel like standalone, disconnected statements. The "Whole Fruit Dark Bar" is a good example of productizing a value.

Social Perception

Widely regarded as a high-quality, luxury chocolate brand. Customers appreciate the unique and innovative flavours, the beautiful packaging, and the brand's story (especially the salted caramel origin). The ethical sourcing aspect is increasingly valued.
