Best Practices

• •Embrace the Sass (with Purpose): Use confident, slightly cheeky language that empowers, but always tie it back to the core message of self-love and ditching toxicity. Avoid being outright offensive.
• •Use "You-centric" Empowerment: Frame messages around "you" and "your journey." Phrases like "your glow-up," "your best self," "you deserve to be" reinforce the personal empowerment value.
• •Incorporate "Ex" Playfully and Positively: The "Ex" in Hottest Ex refers to the "ex-you" that tolerated less, or literally an ex-partner, but always in the context of emerging stronger, better, and more confident. Keep it light and focused on the positive transformation.
• •Be Bold and Direct: Use strong verbs and clear, concise sentences. Reflect the "no-nonsense" value by getting straight to the point, whether it's about product benefits or brand philosophy.
• •Maintain an Authentic Voice: Ensure the language feels genuine and relatable to the target audience (Gen Z and young millennials). Use current, relevant slang or phrasing where appropriate, but ensure it aligns with the overall confident and empowering tone.
