Brand Tone

Humorous & Satirical, Relatable (for the target audience), Playful & Lighthearted, Informal & Conversational

Brand Values

• •Humor & Entertainment
• •Swiss Cultural Identity
• •Originality & Niche Focus
• •Community Connection

Best Practices

• •Deeply Understand the "Bünzli": Continuously immerse in the nuances of the "Bünzli" stereotype. Understand what makes it funny and relatable to the target audience (Swiss Germans). Stay updated on how the term is used colloquially.
• •Embrace Swiss German Inflections (Sparingly & Appropriately): While the main communication might be in High German for broader reach within Switzerland, sprinkling in common Swiss German words or phrases (like *Kafi*, *Rasen*, *Gemeinde*, *Lichter*, *Wäscheplan*) adds authenticity and strengthens the cultural connection. Ensure these are widely understood by the target demographic.
• •Focus on Relatable Scenarios: Base humor on everyday situations and pet peeves associated with "Bünzli" behavior (e.g., adherence to quiet hours, recycling rules, perfect lawn care).
• •Keep it Light and Affectionate: While satirical, the tone should remain good-natured. The goal is to laugh *with* the "Bünzlis" (or those who identify with some traits), not to be mean-spirited. The humor comes from recognition and exaggeration.
• •Develop a "Brand Persona" Voice Guide: Create a simple guide that outlines the key characteristics of the brand's voice (e.g., witty, observational, slightly pedantic but self-aware, uses specific colloquialisms). This helps ensure consistency across all writers or team members managing communications.
