Brand Tone

introspective, empathetic, and potentially edgy, balancing acknowledgment of pain with celebration of strength and resilience.

Brand Values

• •Authenticity
• •Resilience
• •Community
• •Self-Expression

Best Practices

• •Always balance the "trauma" with the "triumph." Pair words of struggle with words of strength (e.g., "broken" and "beautiful," "scars" and "stars"). This ensures the message is one of hope, not just pain.
• •Employ powerful symbols like the lotus, kintsugi (the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold), or storms and rebirth. This creates a richer, more evocative narrative than literal descriptions.
• •Foster a sense of community by using inclusive language. Phrases like "For those of us who..." or "We are the souls that..." make the customer feel part of a collective, reinforcing the brand's name.
• •Avoid overly polished corporate speak. The tone should be raw, honest, and direct. Short, impactful sentences can often be more powerful than long, elaborate ones.
• •Every piece of copy should connect back to the brand's core mission of empowerment through adversity. Explain why a design was chosen or why the brand exists. The message is more important than the product itself.

Social Perception

As the brand has not officially launched, there is no public or customer perception. However, the name is likely to be polarizing, strongly resonating with a niche audience identifying with mental health struggles, trauma recovery, and alternative subcultures, while potentially being misunderstood by a mainstream audience. Its success will depend on effectively communicating its message of resilience over despair.
