Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Document the key characteristics of The Ard Brand's tone (e.g., confident, edgy, aspirational, concise). Include preferred slang, common phrases, and words to avoid. This ensures anyone creating content understands the desired voice.
• •Know Your Audience: Consistently use language, references, and humor that resonate with the target demographic (young adults interested in streetwear and self-expression). Monitor social media trends and conversations within this group.
• •Prioritize Visual-Driven Language: Streetwear is highly visual. Ensure copy complements the imagery and uses descriptive yet concise language that evokes the style and feel of the apparel (e.g., bold graphics, sharp silhouettes, raw energy).
• •Be Authentic and Consistent Across Platforms: While the message might be tailored slightly for different platforms, the core brand tone should remain consistent. Avoid drastic shifts in voice that could confuse the audience. This is especially important given the current fragmented social media presence; consistency on active channels is key.
• •Inject Personality Sparingly but Effectively: Use confident statements, relevant slang (without overdoing it), and aspirational messaging to reinforce the brand's edgy and street-smart identity. Ensure it feels genuine to the brand and not forced. Review and update the voice guide periodically to stay current.
