Brand Tone

Erudite/Intellectual, Passionate, Descriptive & Evocative, Direct (Call to Action)

Brand Values

• •Appreciation for High Culture: A core value is the celebration of classical music (specifically Wagner), art, mythology, and philosophy.
• •Intellectualism & Artistic Sensibility: The brand values and promotes the expression of intellectual and artistic interests.
• •Individuality/Niche Fandom: Providing merchandise for specific, often niche, intellectual and artistic passions, allowing customers to display their affiliations.
• •Curated Selection: The 'About Us' page mentions a 'curated selection of merchandise.'

Best Practices

• •Develop a Comprehensive Brand Voice Guide: Document the specific attributes of your erudite, passionate, and evocative tone. Include approved vocabulary, phrases to avoid, and examples of on-brand vs. off-brand copy for different contexts (product descriptions, social media, emails).
• •Immerse Copywriters in the Subject Matter: Ensure anyone writing copy has a foundational understanding and appreciation for Wagner, mythology, and philosophy. This allows for authentic and knowledgeable communication that resonates with the target audience.
• •Maintain Consistency Across All Channels: The tone used on the website's 'About Us' page should be consistently reflected in product descriptions, Instagram captions, email newsletters, and any other customer-facing communication. Avoid stark deviations in style.
• •Focus on 'Why' Not Just 'What': Connect the products to the deeper intellectual or artistic passions they represent. Explain the inspiration behind a design, the significance of a quote, or the story of a mythological figure, reinforcing the brand's values.
• •Engage with Intellectual Curiosity: Frame copy to pique interest and invite further exploration of the themes. Use rhetorical questions or subtle references that the target audience will appreciate, fostering a sense of shared understanding and intellectual community.
