Best Practices

• •Always Lead with Authenticity: Ensure every piece of copy, from a tweet to a product description, feels genuine and avoids jargon or overly polished corporate speak. The language should be direct and real.
• •Embrace Bold & Direct Language: Don't shy away from strong statements or slightly provocative questions that align with the "hard truths" theme. Use an active voice and confident declarations.
• •Integrate the "Why": Consistently tie the products back to the core message of self-reflection, honesty, and growth. It's not just a hoodie; it's a reminder to be true to yourself.
• •Speak to the "Movement": Frame the brand as more than just apparel. Use inclusive language that invites customers to be part of a community that values these principles.
• •Maintain a Streetwise Edge (Appropriately): While being introspective, retain a cool, contemporary streetwise sensibility in the language, especially on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. This doesn't mean using excessive slang but ensuring the tone is current and relatable to the target demographic.

Social Perception

The brand is seen as one that stands for a message beyond just fashion, aiming to inspire a mindset. They are perceived as a streetwear brand with a "global mindset, designed for those who live unapologetically."
