Brand Tone

Intellectual & Thought-Provoking, Artistic & Expressive, Confident & Unapologetic, Slightly Edgy & Counter-Cultural, Inclusive (in its own niche)

Brand Values

• •Authenticity
• •Individuality
• •Artistic Integrity
• •Questioning Norms
• •Self-Expression
• •Conscious Consumption (implied)

Best Practices

• •Anchor to the Manifesto: Regularly revisit the brand's core philosophy and manifesto. Ensure all copy, from product descriptions to social media posts, aligns with these foundational ideas of authenticity, questioning norms, and artistic expression.
• •Use Evocative and Thought-Provoking Language: Employ words that stimulate curiosity and introspection. Avoid generic marketing speak. Think "statement," "narrative," "canvas," "frequency," "unravel," rather than just "cool," "nice," or "new."
• •Prioritize "Show, Don't Just Tell": Instead of saying "we are unique," *show* it through descriptions of the artistic process (if possible), the meaning behind designs, and by using language that itself is unique and not cliché.
• •Maintain Visual and Textual Harmony: Ensure the tone of the copy matches the aesthetic of the visuals. If the visuals are moody and artistic, the copy should complement that, not clash with overly cheerful or simplistic language.
• •Speak Directly to Your Niche Audience: Understand who you're talking to – individuals who value art, depth, and individuality. Use language that resonates with their desire to stand apart and express themselves authentically, rather than trying to appeal to a mass market. Address their intellect and their desire for meaning.
