Best Practices

• •Embrace the "Why": Always circle back to the core reason GVNMNT exists – to give people a voice and challenge the status quo. Let this rebellious, empowering spirit infuse every piece of copy.
• •Use Strong, Direct Language: Avoid passive voice or overly corporate jargon. Opt for active, impactful words and short, punchy sentences that reflect the brand's bold stance.
• •Authentic Street Slang (Sparingly & Appropriately): Incorporate vernacular that resonates with the streetwear and skate community, but ensure it feels genuine and not forced. Stay current but also timeless within the culture.
• •Focus on "Us" vs. "Them" (Subtly): While the brand is about empowerment, it stems from a sense of being an outsider or challenging a dominant narrative. Copy can reflect this by speaking to a collective "we" (the GVNMNT community) in contrast to an implied "they" (the establishment, conformity).
• •Visual-Verbal Cohesion: Ensure the copy directly complements the raw, urban, and often defiant imagery used on social media and the website. The words should feel like a natural extension of the visual aesthetic.
