Brand Values

• •Sustainability
• •Veganism
• •Handmade & Local Craftsmanship
• •Unique Style & Quality

Best Practices

• •Embrace the Pun: Continue using the "fairkorkst" wordplay and other clever, German-English puns (like "Kork(L)eine"). This unique verbal identity is memorable and sets the brand apart.
• •Lead with Passion, Follow with Facts: Start product stories and social posts with the passionate, emotional connection to cork, then support it with tangible facts about sustainability (e.g., CO2 absorption figures) to build trust and educate the consumer.
• •Always Highlight the "Holy Trinity": Ensure that the core values —Sustainable, Vegan, Handmade—are mentioned or alluded to in almost every piece of communication, from product pages to social media bios.
• •Tell the Story of the Material: Go beyond saying "it's made of cork." Describe the feel ("soft and pleasant"), the look ("natural 'en vogue' look"), and the origin (sustainably harvested, local collaborations) to make the material itself a hero of the brand story.
• •Maintain a Consistent, Playful Voice in Community Management: When responding to comments and questions on social media, maintain the friendly, slightly quirky, and passionate tone. Use phrases like "Danke, du fairkorkster Mensch!" to reinforce the brand's community feel.
