• •Consistently use terms like "handcrafted," "small-batch," "all-natural," and "artisan" to reinforce the brand's commitment to quality and authenticity.
• •Write copy as if it's coming from Jack himself—a passionate creator and adventurer. Keep the tone personal and genuine, avoiding overly corporate language.

• •Consistently use #JustAddJacks and #IgniteTheRugged across all platforms to build brand recognition and create a unified call-to-action that encapsulates the brand's spirit.
