Best Practices

• •Know Your "Goon": Always write as if speaking directly to a member of your core audience – someone who understands the lingo, the lifestyle, and the underlying values of camaraderie and resilience.
• •Embrace the Edge, But Stay Authentic: Don't force the irreverence or edginess. Let it flow naturally from the brand's military roots and "outsider" appeal. Avoid clichés unless used ironically and knowingly.
• •Prioritize "Show, Don't Just Tell" for Values: Instead of just saying "we support veterans," weave it into product descriptions, community stories, and the impact of their "Brother to Brother" initiative.
• •Balance the Dark with the Light: While there's a "dark humor" and "stoic" element, balance it with the strong message of support and checking in on others. Not everything needs to be grim; moments of humor and shared experience are key.
• •Maintain a Consistent Slang/Lingo Lexicon (If Applicable): Use terms like "homies," "rad," "kit," and military-adjacent slang consistently but not excessively. Ensure it feels natural to the voice, not like an affectation. The direct, slightly informal, yet respectful tone should be paramount.
