Best Practices

• •Establish a Unified Brand Voice Document: Create a detailed guide outlining Porterist’s specific tone (e.g., sophisticated yet warm, confident but not arrogant), key messaging pillars (uniqueness, affordable luxury, ethics), preferred vocabulary, and no-go words. Ensure this is accessible to everyone creating content.
• •Prioritize Storytelling Around Values: Consistently tell the stories behind the products: the independent designers, the unique craftsmanship, the ethical sourcing journey, and the sustainable materials. This brings authenticity to the "affordable luxury" and "conscious" claims.
• •Maintain the Aspirational/Accessible Balance: Use sophisticated and evocative language to describe the European aesthetic and quality, but always pair it with messaging that reinforces value, everyday usability, and the attainability of the pieces.
• •Ensure Visuals and Text are Cohesive: The imagery used across all platforms must align with and enhance the verbal tone. If the copy speaks of chic, ethical luxury, the visuals must reflect that same quality and sensibility.
• •Integrate the Brand Voice into All Communications: Train all team members, especially those in customer-facing roles (customer service, social media engagement), to communicate using the established brand tone and to embody its core values. Every interaction is an opportunity to reinforce brand identity.
