Brand Tone

knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and customer-focused

Brand Values

• •Quality and Performance
• •Innovation and Engineering Excellence
• •Customer-Centricity and Enthusiasm
• •Adventure and Capability
• •Authenticity and Passion

Best Practices

• •Speak from Experience (Be the Enthusiast): Write as someone who genuinely uses and understands the product. Use language that resonates with the van life and off-road community (e.g., "eliminate head toss," "washboard roads," "approach angle").
• •Educate and Empower: Don't just list features; explain the *benefits* and how they solve common van-owner problems (e.g., "dramatically improve handling," "reduces rocking," "more effective control over large and small bumps"). Provide insight into the engineering and testing.
• •Focus on the Customer's Goal (The Adventure): Connect the products to the customer's ultimate desire – to explore, to have better experiences, to travel more comfortably and capably. Use aspirational but relatable language.
• •Maintain Authenticity and Transparency: Be honest about what the products do. If there are technical aspects, explain them clearly. Avoid overly salesy or hyped-up language. The "we aren't here to sell you everything in the catalog" ethos should come through.
• •Show, Don't Just Tell (Use Visuals and Stories): While this is a copywriting guide, remember that the tone is reinforced by strong visual content (photos/videos of vans in action, product details) and customer testimonials/stories. Encourage user-generated content where appropriate by using and engaging with hashtags like #vanlife and #vancompass. The copy should complement these elements.
