Brand Tone

Proud & Authentic, Community-Oriented/Supportive, Down-to-Earth & Relatable, Quality-Focused

Brand Values

• •Pride in Craftsmanship/Profession
• •Family & Community
• •Quality
• •Authenticity
• •Hard Work

Best Practices

• •Always Speak from Experience: Use language and terminology that resonates with the lineman and blue-collar community. Authenticity comes from understanding their world. (e.g., "storm calls," "brotherhood," "built tough").
• •Emphasize Pride and Respect: Consistently weave in the values of pride in the trade, hard work, and respect for the profession. Let this passion shine through in the copy.
• •Focus on Community and Family: Address not only the lineman but also their families and the broader blue-collar community. Highlight the supportive aspect of the brand.
• •Maintain a Balance of Toughness and Approachability: While the work is tough, the brand can still be approachable and even humorous (where appropriate, like some T-shirt slogans). Avoid overly corporate or generic language.
• •Show, Don't Just Tell, Quality: Instead of just saying "high quality," briefly allude to durability or comfort features that matter to someone in a physically demanding job, or highlight the positive customer feedback regarding quality.
