Brand Tone

Community-Oriented, Enthusiastic & Passionate, Informal & Approachable, Supportive & Encouraging, Slightly Edgy/Bold, Eco-Conscious

Brand Values

• •Community & Camaraderie
• •Passion for Cycling
• •Local Pride (South Coast)
• •Activity & Outdoor Lifestyle
• •Quality (in apparel)
• •Sustainability (emerging)
• •Inclusivity

Best Practices

• •Embrace the "We" and "Our": Consistently use inclusive language that reinforces the community aspect (e.g., "our club," "we ride," "join our crew").
• •Keep it Real and Relatable: Avoid overly corporate or technical jargon. Use conversational language that a fellow cyclist would use. Share authentic stories and member experiences.
• •Inject Enthusiasm: Let the passion for cycling and the South Coast shine through. Use positive, energetic words and emojis where appropriate (especially on social media).
• •Visually Match the Vibe: Ensure that images and videos accompanying the copy reflect the active, community-focused, and sometimes slightly edgy "Kraken" spirit.
• •Highlight Values (Subtly and Explicitly): Weave in mentions of community, local pride, sustainability, and the joy of cycling naturally within the copy. If making a direct claim (e.g., about sustainability), be specific and transparent.

Social Perception

Internally: Perceived positively as a fun, engaging, and supportive cycling club with cool, distinctive apparel. The community aspect seems to be highly valued. Externally: Likely has low brand awareness beyond its immediate community and local cycling scene. The name "Kraken" is generic and used by many other entities, so "South Coast Kraken Cycling Club" or "Kraken CC apparel" would be crucial for differentiation. Those who stumble upon the brand would likely see a passionate local cycling club with its own merchandise line that is beginning to emphasize sustainability. The apparel is tied to the club's identity.
