Brand Tone

Urban & Streetwise, Aspirational & Motivational, Edgy & Confident, Direct & Promotional, Casual & Relatable

Brand Values

• •Originality/Self-Expression
• •Resilience/Embracing Imperfection
• •Discipline & Consistency
• •Community/Local Pride
• •Accessibility (within luxury context)

Best Practices

• •Develop a "Brand Voice" Guide: Document key approved slang, common phrases (like "We in the wind," "Tap in"), aspirational keywords ("Discipline," "Consistency," "Define"), and the overall attitude (confident, edgy, street-smart).
• •Know Your Audience: Continuously engage with and understand the language your target demographic uses. Reflect this authentically in your copy, without forced slang.
• •Embrace the "BRKN" Narrative: Don't shy away from the "Broken Luxury" concept. Weave this into product stories and brand messaging. What does it mean to be "BRKN"? Is it about resilience, rebellion, or redefining luxury? Clarify and own this.
• •Balance Edge with Aspiration: While the "BRKN" name has an edge, the "Discipline x Consistency" tagline adds an aspirational layer. Ensure copy reflects both: the confident street style and the mindset behind it.
• •Consistency Across Platforms: While the style might be slightly adapted (e.g., more visual on Instagram, potentially longer form on a blog), the core tone, values, and key phrases should remain consistent across the website, social media, and any advertising.

Social Perception

Customers/Followers: Likely perceive the brand as a stylish, urban streetwear option, possibly with a local appeal in the Rochester, NY area. The engagement on social media suggests an appreciation for the designs and the brand's aesthetic. General Public: Awareness is likely low beyond their direct followers and those specifically seeking niche streetwear brands. The name "BRKN the Brand" might be intriguing or slightly ambiguous to those unfamiliar with it. There's a potential for confusion with other "Broken" named brands. The "Buy Black Fridays" mention could lead to a perception of the brand as being Black-owned or particularly supportive of the Black community, which can be a strong positive connector for a segment of the market.
