Brand Tone

Artisanal & Passionate, Sophisticated & Refined, Authentic & Transparent, Warm & Inviting, Educational & Engaging

Brand Values

• •Quality & Excellence: Unwavering commitment to the finest, freshest, locally-sourced, and preservative-free ingredients. This includes a focus on "ingredient-driven pastry."
• •Artisanship & Craftsmanship: Belief that every baked good is a work of art, with meticulous attention to detail in their handmade products.
• •Authenticity: Bringing genuine European baking traditions, particularly Parisian, to Mumbai, while allowing true flavors to shine.
• •Innovation & Creativity: Constantly experimenting with new flavor combinations and techniques, as seen in "#TheMASAMethod" and unique product offerings.
• •Customer Experience: Aiming to provide an unforgettable culinary experience and a welcoming café environment.
• •Integrity & Transparency: Openness about their baking methods, ingredient sourcing, and the journey of the founders.
• •Sustainability & Community Support: Choosing to work with small producers who share their values of quality and respect for the environment.

Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Clearly document the desired tone (Artisanal, Passionate, Authentic, Warm, Sophisticated yet Accessible), key messaging points, words to use/avoid, and provide examples. Share this with anyone creating content.
• •Storytelling is Key: Consistently weave in the founders' journey, the inspiration behind Masa, the "#TheMASAMethod," and the commitment to quality ingredients. This reinforces authenticity and passion.
• •Emphasize Sensory Details: Use descriptive language that appeals to sight, smell, taste, and touch. Words like "golden," "flaky," "buttery," "aromatic," "rich," "velvety," "crusty," "handcrafted" evoke the quality and experience.
• •Maintain Visual Consistency: Ensure that all visual content (photos, videos) aligns with the artisanal, high-quality, and inviting aesthetic seen on their Instagram and website. This reinforces the brand's premium feel.
• •Engage Authentically: When responding to comments and messages, maintain the warm, respectful, and passionate tone. Address feedback (positive or negative) thoughtfully, reinforcing the commitment to customer experience and quality.
