Brand Tone

Aspirational, enthusiastic, and friendly, with elements of being down-to-earth and occasionally quirky.

Brand Values

• •Adventure & Exploration
• •Connection with Nature
• •Quality & Performance
• •Comfort & Well-being
• •Community
• •Passion for the Outdoors
• •Sustainability (emerging)

Best Practices

• •Develop a "Brand Voice & Tone Guide": Document the key characteristics of your brand's voice (e.g., adventurous, passionate) and the acceptable tones (e.g., enthusiastic, supportive, playful). Include examples of "do's and don'ts" for wording, sentence structure, and addressing the audience. This guide should be the go-to resource for anyone creating content.
• •Know Your Audience Deeply: Understand who you're talking to. What are their aspirations, challenges, and what kind of language resonates with them? Tailor the tone to be relatable and engaging for outdoor enthusiasts who value quality and experience.
• •Use "We" and "You" for Connection: Employ inclusive language. "We" statements can share the brand's passion and mission (e.g., "We believe every adventure should be enjoyable"). "You" statements directly address the customer and their needs/aspirations (e.g., "Our gear is designed to support your journey").
• •Tell Stories, Don't Just Sell Products: Weave in the "why" behind the brand and products. Share the inspiration (like the Mount Everest story) and highlight the experiences the gear enables, rather than just listing features. This makes the copy more engaging and emotionally resonant.
• •Maintain Consistency Across All Channels, But Adapt the Nuance: While the core brand voice should remain consistent, the specific tone might vary slightly depending on the platform (e.g., more playful and visual on TikTok/Instagram, slightly more detailed on the website blog). Ensure all communications still clearly sound like Stride Outdoors. Regularly review content across all platforms to ensure alignment.

Social Perception

Positive for product quality, seen as a provider of specialized gear, engaged with the outdoor community, emerging brand, and trustworthy (based on limited data).
