Brand Tone

Authoritative, Professional, Serious, Direct, Confident, Focused on Performance, Quality, and Trust.

Brand Values

• •Protection & Safety
• •Quality & Reliability
• •Accessibility & Affordability
• •Patriotism & Service
• •Credibility & Trust

Best Practices

• •Lead with Credibility: Always prioritize mentioning "NIJ Certified," "Veteran-Owned," and "Made in the USA" in marketing materials. These are the brand's most powerful trust signals.
• •Maintain an Authoritative Tone: Use direct, declarative sentences. Avoid weak or passive language. The copy should sound confident and knowledgeable, reflecting the seriousness of the products' use.
• •Speak to the Professional: The copy should always be addressed to a professional (an operator, officer, soldier, or procurement agent). Focus on concepts like "mission success," "operational readiness," and "unwavering reliability" rather than recreational or hobbyist terms.
• •Balance Quality with Affordability: Consistently pair messages of high quality and top-tier materials with the value proposition of affordability. Frame it as a core part of the brand's mission, not as a discount or a "cheap" option.
• •Use "We" to Build a Connection: Employing language like "We've got your back" or "Our commitment to you" creates a sense of partnership and personal investment, reinforcing the trust between the veteran-owned company and its professional clientele.

Social Perception

Perceived as credible, serious, and reliable manufacturer by industry/B2B/B2G clientele; very low brand awareness among general public/consumers, seen as provider of affordable, certified armor; indirect association with Haiti assassination is a potential reputational risk.
