Brand Tone

Rebellious, authentic, and inspirational. It speaks the language of a subculture, fostering belonging and exclusivity. The voice is confident and defiant, positioning itself against mainstream consumerism, while also being encouraging and inclusive within its niche.

Brand Values

• •Community
• •Authenticity
• •Progression & Resilience
• •Identity
• •Passion for the Sport

Best Practices

• •Speak from the "We": Always use collective pronouns like "we" and "our" to reinforce the community and movement aspect. Frame messages as coming from the tribe, for the tribe.
• •Embrace the "Us vs. Them" Narrative: Position the brand as an alternative to the mainstream. Use language that contrasts your authentic "cult" with impersonal, corporate brands (e.g., "They sell clothes, we drop identity").
• •Use Action-Oriented, Gritty Language: Incorporate words associated with the physical experience of skating and surfing: "asphalt," "salt," "raw," "fall," "rise," "dirt," "rhythm of the street." This grounds the brand in authenticity.
• •Prioritize Community over Commerce: In your messaging, lead with the community, the event, or the philosophy. The product should feel like a natural consequence of the culture, not the primary focus.
• •Maintain Visual and Textual Authenticity: Ensure that all photography, videography, and copy reflect a raw, unfiltered reality. Avoid overly polished or staged content that could betray the brand's core value of "raw truth." User-generated content is an excellent tool for this.

Social Perception

Bendita Company is perceived by its audience as a legitimate and core part of the surfskate scene. Customers see it as more than a clothing brand; it is a community hub that organizes events and unites like-minded individuals. The brand has successfully cultivated an image of being an authentic movement rather than just a commercial entity.
