Best Practices

• •Develop a "Voice Guide": Clearly document the brand's personality traits (e.g., rebellious, confident, exclusive), approved vocabulary (and words to avoid), and a "do/don't" list for communication. This ensures everyone writing for the brand is aligned.
• •Embrace the Edge, Strategically: Use strong, evocative language that reflects the "rebellion" and "individuality" values. Words like "unapologetic," "defy," "command," "authentic," "raw," and "concrete" can reinforce the tone. However, ensure it aligns with the product and doesn't become alienating without purpose.
• •Prioritize "Us vs. Them" (Subtly): Foster a sense of exclusivity and community. Use language that speaks directly to "your people" – the SYNDIKAT. Phrases like "For those who know," "Join the ranks," or "Not for everyone" can enhance this.
• •Visual-Verbal Congruence: Ensure the copy consistently matches the visual identity. If the imagery is dark, urban, and gritty, the language should echo that feel – be direct, perhaps a little raw, and avoid overly playful or soft tones.
• •Speak the Language of the Street (Authentically): Incorporate relevant streetwear slang or cultural references if it feels natural and authentic to the brand and its German roots/audience. Avoid forced or outdated terms. The use of German in their communications ("Kunden") alongside English should be a conscious and consistent choice reflecting their primary market.

Social Perception

The brand likely aims to be perceived as cool, assertive, and aligned with an "outsider" or "underground" status. The use of "Syndikat" itself implies a close-knit, perhaps secretive or powerful group.
