Brand Tone

Empowering, Confident, Unapologetic, Thought-Provoking, Community-Oriented, and Direct.

Brand Values

• •Empowerment
• •Self-Expression
• •Originality and Uniqueness
• •Truth and Liberation
• •Prosperity and Support

Best Practices

• •Lead with the "Why": Always connect the product back to the core values of empowerment, expression, and truth. Don't just sell a hoodie; sell the feeling of confidence it represents.
• •Use "You" and "We" to Build Community: Frame the copy to speak directly to the customer ("Your Wardrobe, Your Voice") and use inclusive language ("We believe...") to create a sense of a shared mission.
• •Turn Product Names into Hooks: Use the bold statements on the apparel (e.g., "Inequality: The Endless Pandemic") as the creative hook for your ad copy, email subject lines, and social media captions.
• •Stay Confident and Direct: Avoid weak or passive language. The brand's tone is unapologetic, so the copy should be direct, declarative, and confident. Use strong action verbs.
• •Amplify Customer Voices: Actively feature customer testimonials and photos in your marketing. This provides social proof and reinforces the community value, showing real people connecting with the brand's message.
