Brand Tone

Artisanal & Passionate, Quality-Focused & Premium, Authentic & Traditional, Warm & Inviting (with a touch of sophistication), Established & Reputable, Approachable & Occasionally Playful

Brand Values

• •Quality & Excellence: "We use the best quality natural ingredients...in the pursuit of distinctive flavour and texture." "Produce quality products that really stand out from the first bite."
• •Tradition & Craftsmanship: "Keeping alive the art of bread, pastry and preserve making." "Using traditional, time-honoured recipes and techniques."
• •Natural & Authentic Ingredients: "Mostly local and organic. No shortcuts. No tricks." "Ingredients in their most natural state...unadulterated, unprocessed and are without unnecessary additives."
• •Passion: "We're passionate about making great food, every day." "We are intensely passionate about what we do."
• •Community & Family: "Australian family-owned and run business." Sharing food "to enjoy with our family, friends and customers." Building relationships with regular customers.
• •Integrity: "No shortcuts. No tricks." This implies honesty in their processes and ingredients.

Best Practices

• •Lead with Passion and Craftsmanship: Always weave in language that reflects the dedication to the art of baking, traditional methods, and the care that goes into each product. Words like "passion," "art," "craft," "handmade," "time-honoured" should be staples.
• •Emphasize Ingredient Integrity: Consistently highlight the quality, naturalness, and local/organic sourcing of ingredients. This reinforces the "no shortcuts, no tricks" value and justifies the premium positioning.
• •Tell the Story (Heritage & Expertise): Remind the audience of Phillippa's rich history (since 1994) and Phillippa Grogan's vision and expertise. This builds trust and authenticity. Share anecdotes or the "why" behind certain products.
• •Maintain a Warm, Sophisticated Voice: Balance a welcoming, approachable tone with language that conveys premium quality and expertise. Avoid overly casual slang but don't be afraid to be engaging and friendly, especially on more informal platforms like TikTok.
• •Show, Don't Just Tell, with Visuals and Sensory Language: Complement the copy with high-quality visuals that showcase the beauty and texture of the products. Use descriptive, sensory words (e.g., "golden crust," "buttery layers," "rich aroma") to evoke the taste and experience.
