Brand Tone

niche, witty, self-aware, casual, ironic, insider, and for the "eternally online"

Brand Values

• •Authenticity
• •Community
• •Nostalgia
• •Creativity & Individuality
• •Humor & Irony

Best Practices

• •Consistently use internet-native language, including lowercase typing, witty slang, and meme-adjacent phrasing. Avoid corporate or overly polished marketing speak.
• •The brand's humor is dry and ironic. Let the product designs and visuals do most of the talking. Captions and copy should be concise, clever, and confident, never over-explaining the joke.
• •Continue to draw from niche internet and gaming culture. The value of the brand lies in its authenticity. The references should feel like genuine "deep cuts," not surface-level nods to mainstream trends.
• •Use captions to ask questions or pose scenarios that only the target audience would understand (e.g., "what was the first forum you ever joined?"). This encourages insider engagement and reinforces the community value.
• •Ensure the tone of the copy always matches the visual aesthetic somewhat nostalgic, clean, but with a hint of digital-age grit. The entire online presence should feel like a cohesive, curated corner of the internet.

Social Perception

Overwhelmingly positive among its target audience, who appreciate the niche references and "deep cut" designs. Customers engage with wit and pride, fostering a strong sense of community and shared understanding.
