Brand Tone

Aspirational, authentic, and community-oriented, speaking to dedicated athletes. The language is straightforward and confident, avoiding excessive jargon while highlighting technical performance. There's an anti-corporate, 'for us, by us' undertone that is relatable and slightly rebellious.

Brand Values

• •Performance
• •Accessibility
• •Community
• •Authenticity
• •Unpretentiousness

Best Practices

• •Speak the Athlete's Language: Use terms and scenarios that resonate with runners and cyclists (e.g., "the last mile," "the final sprint," "dawn patrol").
• •Emphasize "Performance Without Pretension": This is the core message. Every piece of copy should, in some way, reflect the idea of getting top-tier quality without the unnecessary frills or inflated cost.
• •Foster the "Finn Fam" Community: Use inclusive language. Ask questions, encourage user-generated content, and make customers feel like they are part of a select club of knowledgeable athletes.
• •Balance Technical Specs with Emotional Appeal: While the lightweight nature (32g) and adjustable temples are key features, always tie them back to the feeling and the benefit for the athlete—comfort, focus, and improved performance.
• •Maintain an Underdog Tonality: Frame the brand as the smart, authentic choice against the large, impersonal corporations. This narrative is a powerful differentiator and should be subtly woven into the brand story across all platforms.

Social Perception

Finn Optics is perceived as a welcome newcomer and a high-value brand in performance eyewear. It delivers on promises of lightweight, durable, and functional sunglasses for a specific athletic niche. The narrative of being an authentic alternative to large, pretentious brands resonates strongly with consumers.
