Brand Tone

Aspirational, adventurous, and communal. It seeks to inspire and challenge its audience, using motivational and empowering language focused on overcoming limits, exploration, and belonging. It is professional yet passionate, connecting with both elite athletes and amateur swimmers.

• •Adventure & Discovery
• •Perseverance & Overcoming Limits
• •Community & Family
• •Passion for the Sea
• •Inclusivity

Best Practices

• •Use Aspirational and Empowering Language: Consistently use words like "discover," "conquer," "challenge," "endurance," "journey," and "become" to inspire action and reflect the brand's aspirational nature. Frame swimming not as a sport, but as a path to self-discovery.
• •Emphasize "Community" and "Family": Always reinforce the communal aspect of the brand. Use phrases like "Join the family," "Our global community," and "We are Oceanman" to make individuals feel part of a collective movement.
• •Focus on the Experience, Not Just the Race: Describe the holistic experience. Talk about the travel, the culture of the locations, the friendships made, and the personal growth, rather than just the technical aspects of the swim.
• •Maintain an Adventurous and Epic Tone: The voice should match the stunning visuals. Use powerful, evocative descriptions of the natural environments to create a sense of awe and excitement. The tone should feel big, bold, and inspiring.
• •Be Inclusive in Your Messaging: While highlighting the "championship" level of the events, ensure the copy also welcomes swimmers of all abilities by mentioning the different race distances available. Use phrases like "A challenge for everyone" to make the brand feel accessible, not just for elite athletes.
