Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Document the key elements of your brand's tone (e.g., proud, confident, authentic, stylish), including examples of words to use and avoid. Share this with anyone creating content.
• •Emphasize Storytelling: Consistently weave in elements of African heritage, the meaning behind designs or names (like the Yaa Asantewaa reference), and the inspiration drawn from the Mutapa legacy. This reinforces authenticity and cultural connection.
• •Use Powerful and Evocative Language: Employ words that convey confidence, boldness, vibrancy, and the richness of culture (e.g., "unleash," "celebrate," "legacy," "vibrant," "artistry").
• •Maintain Visual and Textual Harmony: Ensure that the tone of the copy aligns with the imagery used on the website and social media. If the visuals are bold and confident, the copy should reflect that.
• •Engage Authentically with Your Audience: When responding to comments or messages, maintain the brand's respectful, proud, and friendly tone. Personalize interactions where possible to build community.
